  • “You say I deserve Trump… like I’m the one suffering here.”

    If you’re American and not ultra-wealthy you are/will be, just like I will.

    “Question: do you honestly think Joe Biden would have permitted the removal of all Palestinians from Gaza?”

    Yes. Just as he was perfectly fine with them bombing everything from hospitals to schools usimg the weapons he continues to send and using genocidal rhetoric. You would have to be insane to think otherwise.

    “Would that even be a conversation right now?”

    No. It would just be another day of Joe Biden and the Democrats enabling the genocide while “liberals” sit by and let it happen and calling anyone who opposed it a crazy radical. Just like it was during the year long genocidal campaign he DID engage in.

    “I’m not the one suffering the brunt of consequences for your the decision to elect Trump over Biden, it’s the Palestinian people who are.”

    This is the same blatant denialism of Genocide because Joe Biden was the one doing it I just critiqued.




  • Not supporting Genocide Donald.

    You say this like Biden was bringing an end to the Genocide.

    Trump partaking in Genocide doesn’t mean Biden didn’t. It was just publicly revealed that Biden never demanded a ceasefire (as if we didn’t know that already), Biden sent weapons to Israel to use in their genocidal campaign, Biden sent warships to ward off and defend against any attacks against Israel for their genocidal campaign. Trump doing the same doesn’t mean Biden didn’t do those things.

    You so smugly using Trump’s continuation of the genocide as a form of “gotcha” (again, as if we didn’t know he would do that) is truly just absolutely morally gross and despicabe.

    You deserve Trump.




  • Could they though? You think China would just sit around and let the U.S fire nuclear missiles at them without intercepting them and firing their own? Why are you so sure that wouldn’t just end up with a U.S sized crater north of Mexico?

    Also, dismissing any predictive situation as some crazy out there “what if” is hilarious.

    War games are an extremely important part of any strategy so that you don’t just walk right into an easily predictable slaughter because you “don’t care about what ifs”.

    Yeah and I get that. But they also don’t know anyone is Russia and/or Europe and don’t speak Polish/German/etc to make sneaking through Russia to Europe a more valid option than going to Mexico… especially when Europe themselves are going through a big surge in anti-immigant sentiments.

    I just didn’t like how their message came off as if Mexico was literally Hell to be avoided at any cost.

    “suggesting to go back to Mexico is as good as no advice, because that’s what deportation does as well.”

    No it’s not. Do you deny the existence of the border camps? Do you deny that people are being sent to Guantanamo or an El Salvadorian concentration camp?

    Suggesting they go back to Mexico is suggesting that the reward is not worth the heightened risk.

    Edit: and to be clear I’m not even suggesting that they do go back. I’d just suggest that they asses the risk/reward and if they choose to stay they NEED to recognize the risk and organize within their communities accordingly.

    Yes, that would obviously be best for discovering their individual reasons and I have discussed it with a few. But I’m not asking you why they come here. I’m asking why you believe what you said to be true and valid. I’m Mexican-American myself and your words just didn’t sit right with me, it felt like you were just dismissing the whole idea of people living in Mexico…like a liberalized/opposite version of the “if you love Mexico why don’t you go back!” We get whenever we show pride for Mexico (Implying that Mexico is a terrible place nobody should want to live or be proud of). I’m sure that wasn’t your intention but its how it came off to me.

    As for the substance of your response.

    While mexico is certainly below in most metrics on averages, that includes wealth and cost of living averages. You shouldn’t focus on just averages but the disparity between things like cost of healthcare and general living vs wages. Also being among the lower classes drastically increases your chances to be murdered in the US which isn’t accurately represented in the average national statistics. It’s not as simple as Mexico being a death pit and America is safe.


  • You are trying to defect rather than answer the question. Are you denying that he sent billions in weapons and aid to Israel, sent warships to defend them against potential retaliatiatory attacks, and loudly defended their “right to defend themselves”?

    I’ll answer your deflection question though, just so you have no excuses.

    Yes, many things happen without our permission. Examples from just under Biden, “We” didn’t want china to surpass us in so many metrics and “we” didn’t want Russia to continue to last against Ukraine despite our weapons shipments and sanctions, but ultimately “we” had no say in the outcome. The genocide that Biden (and now Trump) directly assisted in Gaza is just not one of those things.
