Unfortunately when Trump says stuff like this, he's probably being truthful
Wish I knew what it was like to believe a presidential candidate I plan to vote for tho.
If he was actually truthful he'd be talking about setting up concentration camps, but that doesn't quite fly yet. I give it a few years until the Overton Window is that far right
Biden will always support Israel, you saw how much they care about his "warnings".
But Israel can't do this genocide with America.
And it might not be for the right reasons, but you can't count on trump to do really anything that's not easy like this.
He'd pull aid from Israel for the dumbest reason. He doesn't fucking care what happens there.
That's not the same as Biden.
Biden is willing to lose office rather than take a stand against Israel. You think trump is that loyal to anything?
I have no idea how anything you said is related to my quip about conservatives wanting to set up concentration camps for trans folks (or probably "wokists" in general)
Wow, this is a dumb comment. Not only is it not relevant, it's wrong. Even in this article Trump mentions that Biden has been handling the war wrong and the Jews shouldn't vote for him. If Biden is handling it poorly, but it's because he's not more in favor of Israel, what do you think Trump will do? He's said it before, that he wants it expanded and for Israel to finish the job.
Fuck off back to wherever you came from.
Talk about a field with astroturn on it!
BS, both parties support Apartheid Israel no matter what. The Israelis will plop some cash on the Mango Mussolini's desk and they will receive unlimited support.
Do you have specific things in mind or examples of this?
Like for example, Obama talked about Universal Healthcare and making affordable healthcare a "right". I believed him and was super bummed about that and blame him for not being realistic and over-promising, but I also appreciate that the level of suckage was demonstrably less overall than with Bush. Or Trump. Many good things came to fruition.
And what I learned most of all from the Obama experience was that a candidate can be sincere in wanting something but unable to make it happen. IOW, there are serious limits on presidential power (which is good) and mid-term and local elections are in many ways far more important. I also learned that he should have appointed more federal judges and I'm glad that Biden did.
