Was there a point to this post?

Yeah. Bel needing to spout off for no particular reason and to no particular effect.

So if you are against genocide, you should vote for Trump? Is that what you're saying? The white supremacist? The guy who wants to jail or execute his political opponents? This guy has the moral high ground?  

What a bizarre thing to say. Being against genocide in no way implies being pro-Trump.

It looks as though if Trump wins, he'll be equally pro-genocide. $100,000,000 from Miriam Adelson buys quite a bit of loyalty. 

If Trump does win, however, it means that the genocide will no longer be Biden's genocide. It will be Trump's. And then we might finally have the Democrats speaking out against it.

The point is -- you criticize Harris for not attending the rallies the world over, but are silent on Trump not doing so as well.

All the while ignoring the fact that neither are running for president of the world.

Me, I'll be happy with a President who doesn't support that genocide. I suspect Harris is more in my corner here. There's indications that we may be leaning towards cutting off weapons-supply to Israel already. I doubt that would be on the cards with Trump 2.0. They're ragheads, after all.

I hereby criticize Donald Trump for not opposing genocide. He is bad. It's bizarre to me that I have to say this.

Neither is running for president of the world. Both are running for president of the country that arms and funds the genocide. That blocks all UN resolutions against Israeli crimes.

"indications that"... "may be leaning"... 

Did you know that the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary? 

Politicians' weasel words. The Very Resolute Biden administration has said that Israel has another 30 days to continue the genocide (conveniently until after the election) and then MAYBE America will think about reducing the amount of aid. Let's all have deep faith in the election-year promises of politicians. 

Both parties compete to show their support of the genocidal country. Both are bad. You know that both can be bad, right?

Israel-Hamas war is one dumb conundrum. There is no "right" side. So accusing someone on whose "side" he is, is pointless.

I mean, on which side are you? Are you on the side of Hamas or are you on side of Israel?

Few months ago Biden refused to send arms to Israel and was quickly attacked by media headlines that he is helping Hamas terrorists. So there you go. There is no winning side to be on this. And he is also threatening now to withhold weapons to them.

So please, spare us of your self-righteous asshole speech.

There are US presidential rallies all over the world? Who knew?

No, what's bizarre is that you have to be goaded into writing that even as you claim to be unbiased. No, wait -- that's not bizarre; it's disingenuous. And that word is in the dictionary too. I invite you to look it up when you get a spare moment.

Your double-standard is obvious. You're simply butthurt for it being called out.

Did I indicate belief in the claims? No. I reported them couched in qualifiers precisely because I'm not sure anything will change. It's almost like you read at a fifth-grade level. Break out your real English chops already. I hate conversing with dingbats.

Also, you're wrong about the dictionary stuff.

I have consistently criticized the Biden Administration's policy of arming the Israelis, so I'm unsure why you're trying to make it look like I support it.

I was only pointing out your clear bias in the presidential race. I understand, that's uncomfortable for you and you're trying to turn that charge around -- but you should at least be honest and accurate in so doing, lest you be made to look foolish again.
