    1. Fuck Starmer

    Ofc, tovarshi

    1. Don’t disagree with you hugely on most points, but you can always go further, and Trump has given every indication he plans to do that. Can’t compare weapon sales between administrations devoid of the context which should be your first hint of bias.

    Elaborate? CBS and PBS are American news sites that I don’t know of any bias.

    Devoid of the context? Is this the part where you tell me about the genocide war on Gaza?

    1. Biden was a zionist at heart, but Kamala would’ve had internal polling to tell her to stay the course, she wasn’t brazenly immune from public pressure which would’ve provided at least had some safeguards. The mask-off wildcard is never gonna be the better option.

    Really? Ofc, I should prolly be swallowing my regrets on the mask-off wildcard, but just a side note: Kamala doesn’t have that sort of internal polling, let alone the ability to read da room

    She answers like one of those UKKK politicians that tries to dodge the TERF issue.

      The context where Oct 7 happened so of course there’d be more weapon sales than the previous period. You don’t know what Trump would’ve done in that situation, but if you think it’s not sell a bunch of weapons to Israel I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

        This is why they call you liberal zionist, huh

        but if you think it’s not sell a bunch of weapons to Israel I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

        Again, I’ve recognized you not as a Starmerite, but you insist on calling me a Trumpite dumbass (ah well, like you ppl might say, dinnae cannae fash yersel that)

        You know, when Oct. 7 hit, I thought a few thousand like 5,000 Gazans (fighter or civilian) would just die, maybe just 10,000.

        But instead of leaving it like an 2021 clash, which would be still lopsided in Israel’s backside, Biden essentially backed an East Timor-sized genocide

        Although these numbers are understood to refer to deaths due to traumatic injury, others have speculated that the indirect effects of the military operations against Gaza could push all-cause excess mortality to 186,000

        And if you’re wondering why it hasn’t went higher than 40,000+, according to the Gazan Health Ministry, you can’t record when your demographics and infrastructure are being saturation-bombed

        (You cannot tell me one has bombed the most dense ghetto-concentration camps cities like that and expect the 1.2 million inhabitants not be decimated)

        If Biden didn’t want to lose, he should’ve HEAVILY pressured Israel, like Reagan, mid war in late 2023, if not early 2024,

        At this point, hypothesize whatever you want (like, idk, getting fucked by Starmer), and Idc for the irony of the quote I’m gonna copy and paste (I suppose you’ll indicate I’m anti-semitic, due to me being anti-zionist)

        Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

        End of story.
