And you all told me the blue maga border bill that Republicans rejected was 4d chess.

    This frames voting for Biden as a white man’s burden to save Palestinians from their own emotions. Surely you see a problem here?

    Holy fuck, this is the stupidest and worst fucking take outside of pure genocide cheerleading I’ve ever fucking seen for justifying a fucking genocide.

    This genocide could be stopped tomorrow if the US stopped providing weapons and money for the genocide.

    This isn’t some stupid fucking “White mans burden” (I have trouble writing that out because of how despicably idiotic it is) bullshit. If we stopped giving one side the bombs, they would stop falling on the fucking Palestinians. We are directly responsible for the murder of their family members, and you’re arguing that they need to vote for the single individual that could stop the murder with one phone call.

    You want Palestinians in the US to continue paying for and supplying the bombs, shells, and bullets being used to kill their family members. And you’re justifying it with language that is supposed to be used for arguing for justice. Yay for intersectionality!

    You know those memes of a bomber decked out in rainbow flags as it drops bombs on some ‘enemy’ of America? That’s you. You’re using the language of progressivism to justify murder. Good job.

      … I think I misread your comment. Okay let me make myself perfectly clear about what I meant:

      There’s this idea that we have to vote for Biden to stop fascism (lol) and so everyone needs to follow the party line this election. There’s a corollary that has popped up which says it’s understandable for Palestinian-Americans and Arab-Americans more broadly to not vote for Biden, because they’re too emotional to make the smart decision and that’s understandable. This, in turn, creates a white man’s burden - we must vote for Biden to make up for the votes he’s losing from the overly emotional victims of this conflict.

      And I somehow read you as saying this, and I think I confused you with that cracker PugJesus. I’m really sorry, it’s absolutely clear that’s not what you meant and I can’t imagine how I misread you so badly!
