    No. No I am not.

    My food is more expensive. The house I want to buy is further out of reach. My medical care is more expensive and more restricted.

    The southern border crisis still rages on.

    The difference is my country is now complicit if not instrumental in a genocide and is in more military conflicts globally.

      Just because Trump risks being the worst thing to happen to democracy in the history of humanity, we cannot excuse genocide.

      The funding of the genocide and blocking of UN attempts to address it are real. Trump’s demolition of democracy is, as of now, merely a risk.

        Yeah, a risk because he might not win the election, despite how much you’re trying to get him elected. It will also be MUCH worse for palestine under trump.

          Genocide is genocide. The Palestinian people get eradicated by both Biden and Trump. There is no “worse” genocide.

            Too bad that’s not the only thing that matters

            There is no “worse” genocide.

            Really? This is a really stupid take. Some genocides are in fact worse than others.

            The Palestinian people get eradicated by both Biden and Trump.

            Even if this were the case, which it’s not because trump would assist FAR more and it would be much worse. But even if it were the case, with trump we ALSO get regressive LGBT laws in the US as well as who knows what else, possibly more supreme court appointments. And 1 of these 2 people WILL be president next year. You don’t get to pretend you’re making some noble choice by allowing the far worse option to win.

              Proponents of genocide, people who think the extermination of some races is ok as long as it isn’t theirs, don’t deserve an opinion and a platform.

              Shame on you.
