    No, just the douchewaffles who are trying to use it as an excuse to let the even worse guy do it here too.

    But hey why let an actual Palestinian’s condemnation get in the way of fetishizing our corpses as set dressing for your white savior complex?

    You self titled leftists always prefer PoC as martyrs for your cause over being agents for our own anyways.

      It’s quite easy to be mad at Joe Biden for enabling this war in Gaza while also recognizing Trump would be worse. I wrote to Biden yesterday telling him that while he has my vote in November, he shouldn’t expect any financial support from me while American citizens are killed by (likely) American munitions.

      A healthy response to bad policy is never “whatabout the other guy?!?” it’s to put pressure on the policy maker to change their stance.

        Why do I always hear this line when I criticize vote strikers and punishment voting and other white left bullshit?

        This is like the reversal of “white people accuse you of being Un-American when you protest against racism.”, “White leftists accuse you of being pro-genocide and/or anti-criticism when you attack vote striking and punishment voting.”

          I said I was voting for him so I don’t know what your complaint even is. It’s not just white people mad about this. The article is literally about Muslims refusing to meet with the president.

      nobody is doing that.

      biden has probably already did more material harm than trump at this point. if the us was a real democracy neither would be allowed to run.

        Tell me you’re white and straight without telling me you’re white and straight.
