"If you don’t vote Blue, then it’s your fault for the genocide of the Palestinian people in the imaginary future inside of my head where a Republican President backs an ongoing genocide rather than our incumbent genocide-backing Democratic President. "

“You can’t expect Joe to magically stop enabling genocide overnight! He needs more time to stop enabling the genocide he’s enabling! It’s a big and difficult change to make, as we’ve always enabled this genocide!”

“Remember that time when the Cheeto said something stupid? Haha let’s make a joke about the Cheeto conducting a nuclear holocaust against the most oppressed people in the world, who have already been THREATENED WITH THIS!”

“The Dems would need an even larger majority over the Republicans to take any action against the largest recipient of our foreign aid spending.”

Is this not the shit they’re saying?

    As though dropping a nuke would be functionally different than what’s happening now. The difference would be speed and optics. Nukes “look bad” to the libs. And they are, but right now its just drones and bombs and rockets and those are “normal”

      A nuke would kill, horrifically injury, irradiate, and create substantially more suffering then what has currently happened by several orders of magnitude. If an average nuke was dropped in Gaza, the initial fireball that would form in under a fraction of a second would alone kill several times more then 20,000 people.

      A single nuke would have a death toll of hundreds of thousands of Gazans and Israelis within just a few weeks.

      But it isn’t any functionally different, Israel will kill as many as it can anyways.

        Yeah, that’s the “speed” i mentioned. The radiation would also no doubt be horrible, but the white phosphorous and other chemicals they’ve been dumping isn’t exactly great either.
