Trump has waffled on whether the Israel-Gaza war should end. But speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, he said that he supports Israelās right to continue āits war on terror.ā
Former president Donald Trump promised to crush pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, telling a roomful of donors ā a group that he joked included ā98 percent of my Jewish friendsā ā that he would expel student demonstrators from the United States, according to participants in the roundtable event with him in New York.
The fact that no matter who I vote for itās gonna end up with kids being killed on my dime is the problem. At least Biden will pretend to feel bad about it, which is all Iāve come to expect from my government.
Iāve long given up on the notion that I get to vote for someone I like in this system.
I wish that ālikabilityā wasnāt such a huge part of the equation. Doing the right thing and being effective at it should be a bigger factor.
By ālikabilityā I mean that I agree with some or most of the things they consider the right thing. I want to be enthusiastic about them instead of just mainly hoping they donāt do too much damage.
Cue someone posting a billion links about Biden in response because thatās gonna convince me.
Democracy baby! :/
I think this is the practical assessment of politics for a mature adult however. We want better, but we understand that we wonāt get our ideal, perfect options. We have to choose for the better, unideal, option, and hope that our choices will allow our progeny to one day have those ideal candidates.
Better? Nah. Less worse.
