    Fussy?? lol Alright, maybe a bit…

    But in my defense, I see a whole wave of people on here exaggerating the truth and using the same buzzwords, calling anyone who doesn’t agree with them a genocide supporter or accusing them of being scared of the truth. Maybe I’m just paranoid but it seems to me like a concerted effort and I don’t like it.

      calling anyone who doesn’t agree with them a genocide supporter

      I think Democrats shouldn’t be selling weapons that they know will be used to commit genocide.

      Now say “buzzword” a few dozen more times. It’s not changing the fact that Biden supports Netanyahu’s genocide.

        I whole agree with you, the US shouldn’t be supporting wars like this. But let’s be real here, pinning a genocide on Biden is a bit much.

          He didn’t need to circumvent congress to sell weapons for Netanyahu’s genocide. No one was clamoring for it, and no one would have blamed him if he hadn’t done it.

          He proactively supported a genocide.

            Whatever the reason was, it wasn’t “let me send these off to kill Palestinian civilians”. He proactively supported a US ally who did questionable shit, which is very different.

                But I’m not? I’m refusing to pin it on Biden the way people are saying.

                The better question is, why is it that when I refuse to follow along the charade I get accused of things like that? I’m not even saying or implying that.

                  You just referred to literal genocide as “questionable shit”. That’s downplaying.

                  I’m refusing to pin it on Biden the way people are saying.

                  If Biden didn’t want people to say he was supporting genocide, he shouldn’t have circumvented congress unprompted to sell weapons for Netanyahu to use in genocide.

                    Sure, Jan, that’s totally what I meant and not you putting words in my mouth, yep.
