        Good thing the candidate that was on the ballot wasn’t associated with him or his administration in any way and also vigorously denounced genocide at every opportunity! Right? … right??

          Right, Harris sucked. So glad I didn’t vote and Trump won instead. That has worked out so much better for Iran and the rest of the world, too. Could you imagine even trying to justify voting in the last election?!?!

              the goal post has never moved from “try to leave the world better because of me or worse in spite of me, rather than better in spite of me or worse because of me”

              It’s okay to admit if you made a mistake, it actually shows human growth when you can recognize that maybe the right course of action wasn’t taken.

              What goalpost? The goal is to make things better than other alternatives. Harris was better than Trump. It was a choice between the two. It’s very simple. How do people not get that?

      More like supported and slightly reluctantly aided.

      I expect there were guardrails that Israel was careful not to cross. You know, like completely flattening Gaza and demolishing southern Lebanon.

      It’s still AIPAC fueled genocide, but I definitely preferred the slower version to what we have now.
