    I’d say the chances that there’s armed thugs taking over states and shooting Americans would probably be zero.

    Not sure about brunch.

      I’m sorry that the violence you were okay with happening overseas has come home to roost but I don’t think that makes Kamala morally superior in any way. If this upsets you I suggest you reflect on your complicity with genocide.

        That’s a lot of accusations with very little facts.

        Far as I can tell both the Palestine and Ukraine genocides are worse now and Trump’s kidnapped the president of a sovereign nation while threatening to invade another.

          How has the genocide gotten worse? They just seem to be doing the same exact shit the Biden admin was doing, right down to planning to parcel out Gaza to American companies. The course has held if anything, and Harris certainly wasn’t trying to distance herself from that plan. If you voted for her, you were okay that happening just with different people benefitting.

          She may not have kidnapped a foreign head of state but they had no problem killing Venezuelan citizens with economic sanctions, the immiseration caused by this blamed on Maduro and used as part of the justification for the coop Trump executed. They were literally building a casus belli to do this themselves, or at least creating the conditions for a domestic coop they could fund and arm.

          Edit: if anything Trump’s inept execution of the coop has left a power vacuum that could be filled by someone who isn’t a US sock puppet, unlike that Nobel Prize winner the dems were probably grooming as Maduro’s successor.

              i did look into it more, and my statement is over generalizing (aka wrong).

              biden had paused a single shipment of bombs, trump released it. But notable is that biden did not stop the sale.

              trump removed the cap on how much arms could be sold, and that is a direct escalation, vs biden metered expansion of sales

              there was the dismantling of UNRWA, which biden just started the process of doing

              and the sale of bulldozers for the purpose of destroying the homes of palestinians to create an illegal pro israel “security zone”.

              so you are right, while the biden admin were working to do these things, trump seems to be speed running their end game which is directly worse.

                Yeah don’t get me wrong Biden wasn’t my favorite but the ICE funding he put in place was for expansion on accommodations to prisoners so they could be treated humanely while in custody.

                In regards to Gaza, not going to defend him, he was all talk no action. Israel’s actions were a travesty from the start.

                However it has only expanded under Trump. If one could compare the magnitude of travesties such as this it has only accelerated under Trump.
