    “Aren’t doing enough to stop this”? Dude, they’re causing the bad things right now. They’re the ones giving bombs to Israel, a missile defense system and sending boots on the ground, attacking Yemen, meeting up with Israel to help them organize attacks against Iran and Lebanon with our intelligence. It’s not even like they’re not doing enough to stop bad things from happening, they’re actively encouraging it.

      I know, it’s maddening. But thanks to how elections work, you have exactly two options. And they are not the same.

      If you think that Biden’s policy is bad, just look at what Trump has planned.

      He’s likely to order the US military to help in the genocide. And since Arabs have not had the best public image in the US in the last 20 some years…

      There’s a chance the military would do it.

      With that as the other option, the current diplomatic talks are far better.

      Now, here’s why promoting some also-ran jack off is a bad idea. Your also-ran cannot win. It’s literally impossible. They can only siphon off votes from the left, and that means that Trump wins and everyone learns again that when a madman tells you what he’ll do, you should believe him.
