I dislike Biden for many reasons but he isn't actively encouraging domestic terrorism, so yeah, I'd say it is. You have to understand your little shitstain set the bar lower than humanly thought possible.
No he’s just directing his DOJ to call anti-apartheid activists anti-Semitic domestic terrorists.
He is, and it's important to remember, but that's less harm than Trump would cause on the same issue, nevermind all the other issues.
Trump era had people being pulled off the streets into unmarked black vans, literally the bogeyman they used on name growing up about secret police. It wasn’t better, certainly. My concern, is that on one side they’re actively setting fires that can burn us all down, and on the other now, they’re letting those same fires burn, and it’s still burning people. We still have camps on the border. We still haven’t rolled back to Obama-era Cuba restrictions, we still haven’t seen any effort to lessen police funding and it’s oversized control of the budgets of nearly every city in the country. In fact, we’ve seen further money put into police to further militarize them. We haven’t seen Biden demonizing cop city protestors, but he hasn’t done shit in their favor either. We haven’t seen him putting money into food banks to help with record food insecurity. Nothings happening around housing, and most of us are spending over half our income on just rent.
Like, fuck man. Is the best choice really between active destruction and slow decimation?
No, he's just actively encouraging genocide, which is totally fine and good with you I presume? People just like you are the reason hitler was able to take power. Nothing trump ever did reached the level of denying and supporting genocide. I'd rather have an idiot in power than a figurehead for very smart and very evil people pulling the strings.
I don't know if you've noticed, but both Biden and Trump are promoting the same genocide. The difference is Biden's support is quite unfavorable, while Trump's base is riled up by the prospects of war and killing brown people. Hell, House Republicans are trying to expulse all Palestinians from the country.
Trump is not supporting the genocide to nearly the same degree as Biden. Also, we all know trump is all talk. Bidens words should always be taken more seriously than Trump's, and Biden is the one capable of taking action. And he hasn't. Nobody should reasonably expect anything of Trump in 2023, while on the other hand, Biden is the president right now, and has a duty to act. Biden is responsible for the genocide, trump is not.
