There really isn't much nuance or gray area when it comes to genocide.
The United States' Biden Administration is currently funding and supporting a genocide in Gaza. That is unforgivable.
Trump would be even worse than Biden. But there are enough people in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona who are going to be turned off by this (and by inflation, etc) that it won't matter.
The Democratic Party is fully to blame for this result, no American voter is culpable for what happens in November.
The 2024 election should be a slam dunk for any Non-Republican Party. The Democrats' political incompetence is solely to blame for any loss - and that incompetence is reaching a point where it is hard to believe that they are accidentally this stupid. All of this is going to support the "Monoparty" and other conspiracy theories, which are looking less and less like mere theories
Genocide from Trump comes with an extra helping of military enforced dictatorship and corruption, with a side order of LGBTQ+ oppression and racism…
But don’t let this get in the way of your bOtH siDeS’ism.
That isn't a convincing argument. It also isn't even responsive to what I said.
If you're trying to persuade people then that argument won't do it
