      But what if he did it for the lols? I think that’s morally acceptable, and my demographic would be more likely to vote for him. At this point fuck it, let’s play by their rules

      Yes, in the form of dead Palestinians. A politician is a politician, they are all scum and have an agenda. Your wellbeing is not on it.

        I’m sure you really care about genocide and this isn’t bad faith arguing at all.

          Why the fuck do americans assume that anyone calling out their barely functioning administration is suddenly a trump supporter. Im not even an american, i think trump should be executed and im free to criticise your elderly white branches of state oppression for being literally evil. The fact that you have bigger problems in your upcoming „election” does not justify their shitty behaviour and im sorry so much that your two party system is just a ploy to keep you believing in democracy in a country which fails at keeping its schools gun violence free.

            I’m not American either and I didn’t call you a Trump supporter. I accused of you arguing in bad faith.

            This is what wikipedia says about bad faith:

            Bad faith ( Latin: mala fides) is a sustained form of deception which consists of entertaining or pretending to entertain one set of feelings while acting as if influenced by another. [1] It is associated with hypocrisy, breach of contract, affectation, and lip service. [2]

            I thought you were arguing in bad faith because you talked about current US foreign policy in Israel, when this is an article about the Republicans stacking the supreme court to subvert US democracy.

            You are now continuing to make the claim that political parties in the US are equally evil, along with some whataboutery regarding gun violence. You are off-topic and it sounds like you are trying to defend the Republicans by complaining “but BoTH SiDeS!” - hence, bad faith.

              Yes but I replied to a commend about Biden and his alleged high moral standards. Apparently high moral standards means describing an active genicide as “a little over the top” while actively supporting it and refusing to stop supporting it even though it clearly impacts his popularity with his base.

              And I could hardly be defending anyone if I say both sides are bad. Im simply saying that both sides are bad. Republicans are worse but democrats are still an evil group of shitty politicians. The recent trend here where people are instantly accusing anyone criticizing Biden’s take on the Palestinian genocide of being a russian paid troll reeks of fox news level bipartinisim which is a horrible disease.
