According to NBC News, another guest, Dr. Nahreen H. Ahmed, “was taken aback when she showed Biden prints of photos of malnourished children and women in Gaza—to which Biden responded that he had seen those images before. The problem, the doctor said, was that she had printed the photos from her own iPhone.” Biden was clearly making up the fiction of having seen the pictures before as a way not to have to look at them. As Ahmed rightly notes, Biden’s behavior “speaks volumes to the dismissive nature of the administration when it comes to strong-willed action towards a permanent cease-fire or, at a bare minimum, a red line on the invasion of Rafah.”

We should continue to demand that Biden stops funding Israel and stops selling them weapons right now, but thinking that voting Trump is will be any better is just dreaming.

The people of Ukraine will be wiped out if Trump gets power.

The issue is that the conservative vote for party lines while democrats vote for what they like. I’m not sure it’s true that Ukraine will get wiped out, but I’m fairly sure Biden won’t have a 2nd round as president.

And I’m not sure it’s a bad thing in the long run. We’ll end up with a further weakened USA, giving room for others to rise up and set a new agenda

You think that the US becoming like Hungary (for example) will be better in the long run?! Or are just unaware of what continuing to move to the right does to a nation and subsequently, international relations?

[-] Oisteink@feddit.nl -1 points 7 months ago

As far as I’m concerned the US does not bring peace, stability or anything good to anyone including a vast portion of its own citizens.

The US has hard right and far right politics - do you have any idea what that does for a country and subsequently, international relations?

Aside from the fact that the orange fuck-stick would press Israel to go harder, and that Ukraine would be wiped off the map. As an LGBT person I feel I'm justified in saying, GO FUCK YOURSELF.

[-] Oisteink@feddit.nl -1 points 7 months ago

Yeah - I’ve done nothing to elect either of them so I’m the one that should go fuck myself. You utter rubbish of a tosser- go back to your armchair activism

Ukraine will no longer be a sovereign country if the US pulls support for them.

Even though I think it'll be a tight contest I think Biden will win over Trump.

I can't wait till we can stop playing:

Is the president lying intentionally or just confused again?

But no matter who wins we've got four more years of this shit.
