      Well you did say that Dems and Republicans are supporting the same amount of genocide when clearly Republicans are the only one of the two supporting the genocide happening to the Ukrainian people.

        We weren’t talking about Ukraine, that much was obvious, pretending I was making a statement about Ukraine is peak dishonesty, especially when we are discussing censorship of calling attention to the Palestinian Genocide.

          Huh… so talking about one genocide while ignoring another when comparing two political parties is ok? Interesting.

            The context was that the Palestinian genocide has bipartisan support, along with the material conditions that go into that, and now the subsequent censure of that as “misinformation.” Nothing to do with Ukraine, that’s an entirely separate topic.

              Isn’t genocide the same thing as genocide though? Or is it that one is different than the other if it can be used to divide a political party?

            Every time this is brought up they always seem to side-step the issue, which to me- shows their true colors.

            Genocide seems to be fine in one country. But not in an other where it can be politicized to polarize a political party.

      Probably the parts where you said “Biden has given Israel everything they want”, which is blatantly false, and your statement that “They are doing the same amount of genocide”, which cannot be meaningfully assessed when the genocide in Gaza only ramped up under Biden – and there is good reason to believe that Trump would, in fact, be much worse.

      The Dems are evil, but being dishonest about their flaws is foolish, unproductive, and deserving of censorship.

        Re: your first source: Biden allowed some petty aid into Gaza while militarily supporting the genocide with everything they wanted. This is a gross misframing of what I said and minimizes the impact of the Palestinian Genocide.

        Re: your second source: all this says is that Trump would not vocally call for a ceasefire, he would be honest about sending the bombs and take credit for it instead of acting like he’s sad. This is also minimizing the impact of the Palestinian Genocide.

        I was not dishonest about the Dems, I sourced nearly every statement, and yet you believe what I said to be so evil it should be censored as misinformation? Calling out the Dems for genocide is wrongthink? Absurd.
