    Biden sacked the heads of four Ivy League Colleges, sent riot police to crush Palestine encampments and demonised anti genocide protestors as anti semites. He supplied infinite weapons and political cover to enable mass murder in Gaza, carried out illegal bombing campaigns in Yemen and bear hugged Netanyahu even when the ICC issued arrest warrants.

    Trump is no angel but Biden set the tone for the clampdown on civil rights with his insane support for israel

      Nobody claimed that Biden was a perfect president or even a particularly good one. And Harris was certainly deeply flawed in her positions in many ways. But saying that those two are no different from Trump is like saying that a plumber who just stands there and watch your pipes leak is the same as a plumber who bashes them open and floods your house, because neither of them actually fixed the leak. Obviously one is way worse.

      Yes, and if that’s the only issue that matters to you, and you ignore the impact on all those other people, I guess that’s fair to say they are the same. But does all that extra suffering serve a purpose? Are you volunteering yourself to bear any of it, or only others?

        I do think that the unchecked influence of Zionist lobbying is one of the core issues of our time.

        The U.S. political class has become a mouthpiece for israeli genocide, funnelling billions and betraying its own citizens to serve a foreign power.

        Netanyahu received over 30 standing ovations when he addressed Congress under Biden while he had an arrest warrant under the ICC. That’s not normal.

        Meanwhile shadowy groups like Betar are directing Homeland Security on who to detain next. There is every likelihood that this is a front for Israel.

          While the unchecked influence of Russian online campaigns (and actual armies) is only of secondary interest.

          Break the Russians first, they are a vastly worse threat than anyone else, period.
