President in effect endorses ethnic cleansing of territory before hosting meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu
Sorry to beat the same drum in a short amount of time, but this is where thinking Biden wasn’t doing enough has led. Perfect being the enemy of the good and all. Explicit calls for ethnic cleansing were at least not on the table with the last administration.
I just find it almost comical that anyone thought Trump would be an improvement if not for the drastic outcomes we’re going to see.
OK…just to make sure I understand you correctly - the people you’re mad at, are people who either voted for Trump, or didn’t vote at all, because of their opinions about Biden’s response to the genocide in Gaza.
if that’s accurate, two questions:
a) what is your estimate for the size of that group of people?
b) how many actual individual people in that group can you identify by name? how many do you know personally? (vs having read a news story quoting them)
Counterpoint: What’s the relevance of either of those questions for an election that happened three months ago? I don’t like relitigating unspooled events.
You’re welcome to your opinion that Biden or Harris would have been worse, but the facts don’t bear that out at all. I’m not mad at people; I’m somewhat surprised Pikachu that anyone thought this would not be the net result and vote accordingly.
Projecting your political beliefs and rationales on others is not Beeing Nice. Your takeaway is not at all what I said, no matter how much you’d like it to be.

my brother in Cthulhu, you started this post by saying:
you should decide if you’re for or against re-litigating things
meanwhile, one paragraph above, you’re projecting an opinion onto me that I don’t have:
Ew. I think I just cringed 10 years off my life.
Go back to reddit.
I’m certainly mad at people.
