    you can barely muster half a sentence of admission that trump might not be the savior of Gaza you’re implying

    I challenge you to find one thing I have said, at any time, anywhere, that implies that. You are simply lying, and again, attempting to discredit me because you know you can’t address my points.

    If you don’t want to be accused of being a trump supporter, at least make some effort towards even a tiny bit of balance.

    I respond to what I see. Point me to any Trump supporter on here and I will tell them why they’re wrong. It’s just that the vast majority of people on here, myself included, are quite clear in recognizing Trump as an awful candidate who isn’t worthy of serious consideration at all.

    For you, any factual criticism of trump and the republicans must be countered by a wall of conspiracy theory about how Biden’s attempts to negotiate peace

    Very rich of you to call my position on that a “conspiracy theory,” when mine is backed by actual facts and yours isn’t. If Biden or Kamala cared at all about stopping the genocide, they could do it in four words: “No aid until withdrawal.” It’s ridiculously easy.

    You can not provide any explanation for why they don’t do this. The only thing you can do is completely dismiss any and all criticism of your candidate, the exact same way Trump supporters do.

    I have zero loyalty to the Democrats or to the Republicans, I’m quite open to that, yet you keep insisting that I have to demonstrate loyalty to your side or I’m automatically a bad actor. It’s ridiculously tribalistic. This sort of behavior, people brainwashing themselves into ignoring reality, automatically dismissing all criticism, and unthinkingly championing every action of absolute ghouls, and sorting every single individual into one of two camps, is one of the reasons I want nothing to do with either of your backwards parties.

    I tell you I hate Trump, you tell me I love Trump, and when I tell Trump supporters I hate Biden or Harris, they tell me I love Biden and Harris, for exactly the same reasons. What a boring, small world you all live in together, where those two perspectives are all that exist. I want nothing of it.

    Now go ahead and respond to me without answering my criticisms (since you cannot, since they are objectively correct) and keep focusing on who (you think) I am, rather than what I say.

      When you spend all day every day criticising the vice president for things that she doesn’t even have control over, when you dismiss the fact that Trump is actively convincing the one man who can actually decide to stop it to walk away from Biden’s ceasefire deal, when all you talk about is how evil the Democrats are and ignore our dismiss or minimise anything bad about the republicans, less than a week before the election, don’t be surprised or upset if people call you a trump supporter, because your actions certainly support him becoming president and not taking that threat seriously is foolish.

      I challenge you to find one thing I have said, at any time, anywhere, that implies that.

      It’s not a single statement, it’s a wall of argument. It’s everything, you can’t help yourself. The whole thrust of your argument, and there’s a lot of it, implies your condemn the Democrats, excuse and condone the Republicans position.

      It’s the same in the very part I’m replying to. There’s one sentence of criticism of Trump in the middle of a very long argument about how I’m wrong about everything I ever said and the Democrats are evil incarnate and me being so nasty to you is why you dislike Kamala and how everything wrong in the world can be laid at the feet of the Democrats again.

      Your bias shines through. You’re both sidesing the whole thing.

      It’s disingenuous. It’s sometimes clever, sometimes subtle, sometimes obvious, sometimes unsubtle, but it’s always a false equivalence. I don’t buy your sham theoretical neutrality any more than I buy utility contracts on my doorstep.

      Again, if you don’t like being called a Republican or a trump supporter, don’t spend all day repeating their talking points on the internet and heckling anyone who has anything bad to say about Trump or anything good to say about Harris, and don’t conclude in every single post that it’s all Kamala’s fault and she could snap her fingers now to stop it. It isn’t and she can’t.

          Your first two criticisms were that you never said anything implying Trump would be better and that you wrote lots against him in threads I’ve never seen when the opportunity arises. (It’s just the the opportunity somehow rarely arises.) I dealt with those two and clicked post because it was already long. So no, I didn’t ignore your criticisms, I just disagreed with them. It’s not the same thing.

            No, my criticism is on Biden bypassing congress to send weapons to Israel and Kamala saying that she supports continuing to send more weapons. Everything else is just responding to your bullshit allegations.

              And my criticism of you is that you just PRETEND to care about Gaza so you can find reasons to get leftists to exclude themselves from choosing the president so that the right wins and everything gets WORSE in Gaza and rich idiots in the USA sit happily unaffected.

              That you pretend to dislike Trump, but can’t bring yourself to say more than 10% of what you say against him, and it’ll be vague and not on any of the real issues and 90% of what you say will be both sidesing it and acting like the Democrats are worse than the Republicans.

                And I’ve addressed your criticism like a dozen times already. You can’t address mine once, because it’s correct.

                  No you didn’t, not once, and your criticism “I’m worried that they don’t mean what they say so I’m gonna make pretend that they love war” is like a drop in the ocean compared to the evils a trump presidency would inflict on the world.

                    Really, not once have I explained to you why I spend more time on here talking about Kamala than Trump? Not once?

                    “I’m worried that they don’t mean what they say

                    No, they mean what they say, they explicitly support unconditional arms shipments to Israel and constantly reaffirm that it “has the right to defend itself.” Your side is the one that claims they’re lying and secretly support Palestine, against all the evidence and all their statements.
