So more of the same?
What's your source on Pro Palestinian students being deported by Biden?
I made it up bro
How are any Pro Palestinian protesters getting deported by either? Neither can. Just another boogeyman scare.
So you're saying tRump is lying?
He does that often
This comment is on the same level as "just locker room talk".
One is not doing what he needs to be doing, Biden. The other, trump, straight up talks about fascism and dictatorship every single day, for months now.
You are making this a 'both sides' issue it seems to me and that is wrong. You know it is wrong, I will assume you are not brain dead, so it begs the question: why do you downplay of what trump is telling you what he will do? Do you have some secret info on trump you want to share with us or should we just go ahead and listen to the guy and go with 'he means that'?
On this issue both side are the same. There are many other issues and reasons to vote, but there is no distinction between candidates on Palestine. Actions speak
Actions do indeed speak but you do not have that yet with trump. He makes statements, wild ones where anyone with common sense would want to block that idiot from ever being close to a post office, let alone being a president of the US.
So while Biden could do do things differently, his actions tell us he is making the wrong calls.
Trump would, according to his own words, round up protestors and have them deported, crush them (whatever that means). He want israel to be able to continue without restrictions. Biden might not do all the right things, I agree, but to compare him on this topic with trump is just plain wrong.
This argument holds as much water as Biden’s red lines. A lot of lip service and nothing of substance. Does it matter which door you use if you end up in the same room? They are absolutely the same on Palestine
Next:
Isn’t that what’s happening to the Palestinians currently? By Israel. With support of Biden.
Trump is going to COOK your BABY and EAT them!!! Biden will merely roast the child but not consume it. LESSER EVIL!!!
Do you think both of those are equal?
Before you go off-topic,as you ilk is sure to do, remember that this is your invented "parallel situation".
