"Generally good policies" LOL. Biden failed to remove much of Trump's terrible foreign policy decisions like scrapping the Iran nuclear deal, trade war with China, and moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. And now he is trying to ban Tiktok while still having an account on it.

Ok cool by not pulling the switch the trolley stays on the bottom path and kills all the people tied up on said track. Congratulations! By refusing to make a choice you have in effect made a choice!

It seems as if this picture , a joke cartoon meme nonetheless downplays just the horrible situation people find themselves in. So, I would like to ask, with stuff like the below happening. What specifically would Trump do differently. If right now Civilians are being targeted and nothing is being done, and we are even attacking people who do say something. What would trump do, besides harsher words to make it worse.

https://twitter.com/EliClifton/status/1784050680170467456

Things Trump will do differently as evidenced in his actual term:
  1. Ban muslims from traveling to the USA and applying as refugees (especially Palestinians)
  2. Tell Israel to speed it up (he literally did this a week ago)
  3. Give Israel more support than just selling them weapons
  4. Might actually tell the US army to do drone strikes on Palestine and brag about it; in his term he carried out such operations see below
  5. When the Iran thing happened Trump unlike Biden would have told Israel to pour down "fire and fury" and very likely would have gotten involved
Fire and Fury is a book written about Trump as you recall he claimed anyone who barely threatens whatever he likes will have Fire and Fury rained down upon them

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8p1JIgTuKQk

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_policy_of_the_Donald_Trump_administration
He also increased U.S. drone strikes in Africa,[26] and continued the U.S.'s waron terror and campaign against the Islamic State terror organization, including overseeing the death of its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in October 2019.[27] In January 2020, Trump ordered a drone strike in Iraq which assassinated Iranian major general Qasem Soleimani.


On April 6, 2017, in retaliation for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's chemical weapon attack, of sarin, against civilians, Trump authorized a limited cruise missile strike on a Syrian air base. After Russia blocked U.S.-sponsored measures against the Syrian regime at the UN Security Council, the U.S. took unilateral action.[36] The attack drew international support and claims it was justified, citing enforcement of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).[36][37]

^ Remember this? Trump made a big deal about it. Paraded around and called it a huge win

Israel has been genocidal for a long time.

There is too much going on in America to choose now to find it unconscionable to participate in elections.

We didn't sit home and not vote the times America was personally bombing foreign nations. Why now?

Nothing is more bipartisan in the American government than foreign policy. There are tons of domestic issues in play where things can get much worse if elections play out wrong.

And do we even really have leverage over Israel when Israel is one of the biggest influences on our government?

He shouldn't. Because the question, just like your awful meme in the OP, is based on a false premise. A Trump presidency isn't the only alternative to accepting Biden's stance on Israel.

Biden can stop lying about Israeli war crimes. Biden can stop unconditionally supplying them with weapons for genocide. None of this is necessary for him to win the election. If anything, he risks losing voters over this.

Ignoring that option and framing 'Palestinians die under Biden' and 'more Palestinians die under Trump' as the only options is dishonest, and serves no purpose other than to make Biden's support for genocide sound more acceptable.

Just like endlessly repeating all the horrible consequences of a Trump presidency serves no purpose other than to silence anti-genocide protesters. Threats of a Trump reelection are hollow as long as people refuse to acknowledge the agency Biden has in this matter.

All you got to say is that there is no justification that Trump winning will be better but that you hope Biden will be threatened enough to change his stance.

You guys refuse to answer this super super easy question because you actually want Trump to win even though you know it will be worse and you don't care, because you don't actually care about genocide I must assume.

So what happens if Biden does all of this, then loses the election because of organizations like AIPAC burying him, along with the still non-zero number of folks in the country who support Israel in some capacity? Then Trump would very likely make things worse, and it would technically be Biden's fault that he lost the election and made things worse for Palestine in this case.

So, what would the winning play here be, exactly? Do all of the above and hope he can weather all the shit he'd get for it and that it'd earn enough support to offset that?

That's rich when you're here posting funny stick figure cartoons about dead Palestinians.

If this was literally any other victim of a genocide in human history you'd have been banned on the spot for that shit. But it's obvious rules are different when it's Palestine.

You don't get to accuse others of this when the deaths of tens of thousands of people are nothing more than a meme for you to 'own the lefties'.

Where's the proof that Biden would lose more voters from sanctioning Israel than he would from continuing to provide weapons for genocide? Before getting into any hypotheticals, that is a claim that needs proving. This is what all the threats of a Trump presidency hinge on.

Fact is approval for Israel's actions is dropping consistently among US voters. With disapproval at 75% for Dem voters, and 60% among Independents: https://news.gallup.com/poll/642695/majority-disapprove-israeli-action-gaza.aspx

As for AIPAC: no doubt it's a powerful lobby group but this idea that they single handedly decide who becomes the US president is a wild hyperbole and gets uncomfortably close to conspiracy theories that shouldn't have a place in this debate.

So what I get from this, is that Biden was undermined by Iran and Israel about renewing the nuclear deal, should capitulate to China and cede trade advantages to them, where exactly should unaccompanied minors go? Obama also had them in centers because they're literally children under the governments care, this isn't a trump policy of stripping away kids from parents, and as for Maduro idk what to tell you, I personally would rather do business with Venezuela than the Saudis but either way you're dealing with fascists, there's no good guy with oil besides Canada.
