        Id say getting billions of dollars to support a genocide of an entire people is pretty much as bad as it could get… Along with the whole fact that we may never get a chance to elect someone ever again to have a chance at ACTUALLY ending this vile shit

          Kamala did not only run on billions of dollars for genocide. Kamala was actively complicit in the genocide while sending those billions.

            Sending money seems pretty fucking complicit I have no clue what reality your living in.

            The entire ai video of him being buddies with netanyahu and everything it says…

            Trump has said many times he supports Israel and that is clear by the many money and arms gift they are getting to kill all Palestinians in not sure how much clearer you can get buddy.

            Or are you just a trump apologist and don’t ACTUALLY care about anyone in Gaza. Kind of beyond that point I guess you must really care about all the Ukrainian too right?
