I wasn’t planning on any kind of frenzy, just thought it was an interesting and alarming read.

And you are aware that the article presents a convincing roadmap how Trump could try to seize power even if he loses the election, yes?

(Also I agree on voting for Biden being a critical way to help things the best we can. Why are you holding your nose though? He’s done a lot. I know a big list of pedestrian accomplishments including big stuff like student loan relief and marijuana clemency and new police regulation and other important things isn’t as quippy as shrieking “GENOCIDE JOE GENOCIDE JOE” like some mirror-image Donald Trump, as if everything Netanyahu does is something Biden’s happy about and thank god there’s all these Gazans dying because that’s exactly what he wanted. To me Biden is an above-average Democrat whose main problem is he’s just super old.)

as if everything Netanyahu does is something Biden’s happy about and thank god there’s all these Gazans dying because that’s exactly what he wanted.

He is literally still lobbying Congress for more military aid to Israel. His actions speak far louder than your excuses for him.

I mean, he's done a lot. Some of that is great, some of that is materially aiding in genocide. You don't have to parody it with caps.

Both of those things are true. The good and the bad, and the one doesn't erase the other. I think it's pretty clear that a Trump presidency is a lot worse and a lot more dangerous for every human being on the planet who isn't Vladmir Putin. But that doesn't take the rest of the shit off of our plate.

We do need to get Biden into office, but we also need to be honest about what's wrong if we ever have any hope of even beginning to make it better.
