Trump would "level" Gaza without a thought, ex-aide warns
On Tuesday, 48,091 Wisconsin voters cast ballots for "uninstructed" to protest the Biden administration's Israel-Hamas policies.
To the "lets not vote" crowd because Biden didn't do something or other, this will be your congratulations.
There won't be a Gaza to level by the time the next term starts. "Uninstructed" and similar campaigns are trying to get Biden to influence his policies now, not make a statement about which man will be better in the next genocide.
There's been a Gaza for decades, it's not going to stop just because the genocidal Bibi tries to, even if it is being turned into rubble. The primary uncommited campaign is good, and I support it, but people saying that they're gonna vote for Trump over Biden / that they'll abstain entirely are just not going to help either present or future atrocities — wiping your hand clean doesn't save lives.
Trying to make this an election issue is moronic. Neither side is with Gaza, making his a moot point. Not to mention this is an election for the American presidency, not for president of Earth and Gaza. Deal with this outside of the election, through Congress and the Senate, but to make this an election issue only helps Trump and will hurt Gaza in the long run
Lending your support to a genocide in progress isn't lesser evil. It's simply evil.

What a dystopian fucking sentence!
At least it's not another lobbyist or oil/finance company board member.
True, just a professional fascist swamp dweller for the last decade plus change:
Before 2014, Griffin wrote articles for her father's far-right website WorldNetDaily, where she served as a "special Washington correspondent for WND."[7][6] In 2010, Griffin was a media intern for Congressman Tom McClintock and began a one-year position as an associate producer on The Laura Ingraham Show.[11] In the 2012 Presidential election cycle, Griffin was the spokesperson for the College Republican National Committee, traveling the country discussing the youth vote. In 2014, she was named Press Secretary for Congressman Mark Meadows; she was later named as his Communications Director. She went on to work as the Communications Director for the Freedom Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives, serving under Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows.[12]
Good news, everybody! It's already mostly leveled, so the odds of there being anything left by next January are slim.
He's fat, but he's not that fat.
to be fair.... he does everything without a thought.
He's incapable of thought. somebody should stuff him in a dark lab and do some psychatric tests for.... I dunno... the next decade?
This really shouldn't be surprising. The man has signalled and announced his desire to shoot first and ask questions later at the slightest provocation. He's also very vocally pro-Israel. Anybody crowing about "Genocide Joe" is a bad actor intentionally trying to confuse the discourse with bullshit noise. There is no ethical vote except for Biden. Every single US president has been pro-Israel, so just drop that argument and start focussing on how to materially improve living conditions of actual Americans.
Broke: People being opposed to the ongoing genocide in Gaza are going to get Trump elected.
Woke: Biden's uncritical support of an unpopular genocide in Gaza is going to get Trump elected.
Biden could just, you know, stop giving arms to Israel.
Stop sending them bombs right now, and withhold money until they can prove they’ve stopped murdering civilians. This is an easy solution, it’s such a low bar, yet Biden is unable to clear it.
If I were to turn on my Machiavellian reptile brain and looked at this situation (from what I've read) as if this was a game or something...
Israel is kinda like The West's attack/guard dog in the Middle East. That dog is getting out of control. The only leash that The West has on Israel is their funding, remove the funding and they remove the leash, and now we've got an out of control dog with nukes and no leash. It may not seem like the leash isn't doing much to control it but it's far better than letting the dog loose. Especially considering how powerful the dog is, how it seems to have more control over The West than the other way around, might have to do with all the religious leadership on both sides looking forward to the red cow they're sacrificing this month, maybe their prophecy of a "second coming" and (nuclear) fire raining from the sky to end humanity is kinda the point.
I'm going to stop the reptile brain before it mentions how we typically deal with bad dogs that can't be tamed, because god forbid THAT'S taking things too far.
All you "genocide" claimers are gonna get the orange man elected.
Can we be at least a little nicer about the point you're making? Poor form to assume bad faith when anyone with a heart wants Biden doing more. The problem is that Israel is deliberately forcing Biden to eat shit on this issue because guess what, Bibi has every reason to prefer Trump in 2024.
That dude, zerog_bandit, has repeatedly done genocide denial and justification.
I think most US voters on here know that Trump will be significantly worse than Biden on Israel. Both candidates are pro-genocide, but at least Biden and Dems can be pressured to change. Not to mention that Trump wants to ramp up domestic fascism too.
Given the way it is portrayed on the news, I thought it already was practically leveled. Or does this mean extra leveled? Like salt the earth.
I mean, the news also convinced my mother that Portland was leveled by the George Floyd protests… and she lives in Vancouver Wa.
Crazy that the new's definition of "leveled" is "most buildings standing"
It isn't. @Drusas is right.
Beyond the staggering number of deaths, Israel’s ongoing bombardment in Gaza is also taking a drastic toll on infrastructure. So far in the conflict, an estimated 157,200 buildings have been damaged or destroyed. That adds up to more than half of all buildings in the densely populated area, and nearly three-fourths in the northern parts of Gaza.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A former aide to President Donald Trump and current co-host of ABC's The View is warning Democrats that protest votes could potentially lead to more catastrophic events in the Middle East.
Joe Biden is on pace to face presumptive Republican nominee Trump in a rematch of the 2020 election, but the president's handling of the ongoing conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, which quickly escalated following the October 7 terrorist attacks, has drawn scrutiny from many within the Democratic Party.
Griffin went on to say she was "conflicted" because of the options for president but implored voters to think of the long-term ramifications of not voting for Biden based on this singular issue.
Co-host Sunny Hostin seemed to empathize with the protest voters in the Midwest swing states that are predicted to ultimately determine the results of the November 5 election.
When Joy Behar, another co-host, interjected and said the war could end quicker if Hamas released hostages, Hostin said anything short of a ceasefire could continue to galvanize such voters against Biden.
On Wednesday, Andrés told Reuters reporter Jeff Mason that his nonprofit "was deliberately targeted" and questioned how the U.S. could supply aid and military support to Israel.
The original article contains 520 words, the summary contains 201 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
All they want is the beach front property to build condos. They don't care about people.
Human life has no value to these people, never has.
Woah, what an offensive categorization of the Israeli people.
They also want a new canal to undercut Egypt's suez.
It's netanyahu and that corrupt government, not the actual citizens of Israel.
It’s actually drilling rights for all the oil under that beach (sound familiar?), but yeah, condos too I guess.
Trump no doubt made deals to acquire beachfront land in Gaza.... Just need to get those dead bodies cleared away
Like this is that difrent from biden
Unfortunately, Biden already is allowing this to happen, however
Trump probably would too, but Biden already is
Has no one seen Gaza lately? Looks like Biden has done a pretty good job of leveling it, without a thought, and several million dollars richer for it.
You mean like what Biden is doing right now?
US says Israel has not violated international law during Gaza war
Biden administration set to greenlight $18 billion sale of F-15 fighter jets to Israel
U.S. signs off on more bombs, warplanes for Israel
These "but muh Trump would" statements are as tone deaf as Biden saying he cares about his Muslim constituents.
Trump pardoned literal war criminals, sold weapons to Israel too, and forced through a sale of weapons to Saudis too. You're acting as if the world is black and white, with no scales
Both Biden and Trump are motivated by the aipac money. Period. Don’t fool yourself.
You can’t shame the younger voters into voting for Biden. They don’t care what Hillary Clinton thinks and they are tired of being lied too by corporate donors, I mean corporate politicians.
"If he thought it was politically advantageous, [Trump] would level Gaza without a second thought"
He didn't actually say that, just so we're clear here.
Nah, he's just publicly gone on the record as being grossly Islamophobic and pro-Israel. I wonder how people got the impression he would ratchet up the violence in Gaza.
He just said Israel should finish the problem and that he'll ban Palestinians from USA, but surely that says nothing about his opinions on the matter? Right? Right?
Joe Biden is almost done fully leveling Gaza already. Sends 1800 more bunker buster bombs to israel.
Good. Let's get this over with so we can stop hearing about it
