“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

      It’s hardly possible to do worse than Genocide Joe who is fully funded and bought by the israeli lobby AIPAC.

      At worst Trump would have done the same as Biden.

        It’s hardly possible to do worse

        There are about a million ways to do worse.

        For example, a U.S. president could send American ground troops into Gaza. Or recognize Gaza and the West Bank as Israeli territory. Or increase military aid to Israel tenfold. Or launch a preemptive military attack against Hezbollah. Or launch a ground attack against the Huthi rebels for firing rockets at Israel. Or increasing tensions with Iran for funding Hamas. Or round up suspected Hamas supporters in the U.S. and deport them. Or round up suspected Palestine supporters in the U.S. and hold them in indefinite detention. Or create a House Committee for Un-American Activities. Or bring back “enhanced interrogation” for questioning Americans suspected of un-American activities.

        The possibilities are really unlimited.

        This is like arguing that voting for Hitler as Reichskanzler wouldn’t be so bad, because at worst he would be doing the exact same thing as Kurt von Schleicher.

        But that’s the thing: things can always get worse. And Trump has proven time and time again that he’s willing to make things worse.

          America doesn’t have the money for any of that shit. They’re broke. If they had money they would have done all the things you said. America just can’t afford nor win an all out war because as soon as they get into one China takes Taiwan.

          Trump doesn’t have foreign policy. He is the guy that retreated from Afghanistan btw not Genocide Joe or Obomber. As long as he can slush a few million to Mar A Lago he doesn’t give a shit what happens elsewhere.
