[The blue phantom]

Stupidity is deciding not to vote for someone who's not great on Israel/Palestine to teach him a lesson and in doing so electing someone who is 10x worse.

Making a few false steps when trying to navigate a minefield that is Gaza while the Republicans and half his own party do everything they can to make things worse is regrettable but predictable and has happened to every non-conservative leader on the world stage since October.

I understand Trump will be Ten times worse but all these folk see right now is Biden has enabled Genocide.

They don't chant "Genocide Joe" for nothing

No, they chant it because they're fucking morons.

You can come up with all the excuses you want, it doesn't change the fact that every time they undermine Biden they help Trump, and they know that. Which means they are knowingly and deliberately risking their own futures and the future of anyone left alive in Gaza because it feels good to protest and it's fun and exciting.

Your decline from once-thoughtful person to sad, regularly-wrong crank has been sad to watch.

You just claimed that you're "fighting evil" mate in a democratic vote. I have literally no time for that type of horseshit and it's killing the world. You feel free to ruminate over whatever you want, because someone doesn't but into your insane worldview.

An evil guy I should have said, agreed.

Meantime, it took the killing of Soleimani for you to dismount from Trump's dick, and even after that, you minimized his impact and influence over and over and over till you looked so stupid you skedaddled.

You've been a right chump here and you know it, "mate".

Is your position that democratic votes can't fight evil?

Hey Trumps the last person on earth I'd want running for President. I'm just giving you my view from what I've seen. All Biden had to do was listen to the majority of his base have a heart and come November he'd win in a canter.

All Biden had to do was navigate something that’s so famously difficult to navigate it’s basically a synonym for impossible situations and all he had to do was alienate most independents, any on the fence republicans and 30% of his base in order to appease a group who will never thank him for it, never think he’s done enough on this subject, and compared to every other demographic, aren’t that likely to vote anyway.

So simple, why didn’t he just do that?

How can doing something that 80% of your base and even a huge portion of Republicans be difficult to Navigate. In the words of Bernie Sanders.

This is Bidens Vietnam!

But the entire premise of this is false.

You're using today's polling numbers to say he should have done something earlier because it's a popular policy...when 2/3/4/5 months ago the poll numbers showed 3x more support for Israel.
