    The Israeli invasion of Lebanon began on March 16th, 2026. Was Biden president then?

    The US war against Iran started in in 2026. Was Biden president then?

    The organized IDF invasion and annexation of the West Bank (not just a skirmish) began jan 21, 2025. The day trump was inaugurated.

    The only thing that Biden was president for was the Israeli invasion of Syria, on December 8th, 2024. At this point he has lost the election and was being sidelined. That’s the closest thing you have to a factual statement.

    Because otherwise you voted for a genocide

    Oh. Did your heroic non-voting prevent the genocide? Or did it just put trump in power for the above? The genocide was going to happen. The options were less genocide or more genocide. I voted for less genocide. You stood back and allowed for more genocide. Congratulations, those Iranian schoolgirls would be very proud of your heroism, if they didn’t get bombed by trump.

      Repeating your errors doesn’t make them any more true.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Lebanon_war

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Iran–Israel_conflict

      Of course Israel had invaded Lebanon before (kicking off its deadly civil war the first time), but if you want to talk post Oct 7th . . . . you’re still wrong.

      Oh. Did your heroic non-voting prevent the genocide?

      I voted, dummy. I just didn’t vote for genocide support like you did.

      Or did it just put trump in power for the above?

      Considering I vote in NY, my vote has literally no effect.

      Considering that there was NO state where third party voters would have put Kamala on top, your statement is even more ridiculous.

      But I get it - you don’t want to actually change things, you just want to vote blue, go back to brunch, and think you’re smart for doing so. Which is why you’re changing dates to pretend that Biden didn’t eagerly ship weapons to murder Palestinians. And since you don’t want to actually fight, you’re angry at anyone that isn’t willing to pretend your vote was enough.

      It wasn’t. Go build a floating pier.

        I said Lebanon not Hezbollah. Israel has been striking hezbollah in Lebanon for some time, they didn’t have to go ahead to invade lebanon and seek to annex the state proper until Trump gave them the go ahead.

        And I didn’t know that trump bombing Iran was actually the Israel-Iran conflict. You’d think that would be mentioned in the article, that trump and the US is actually Israel.

        Now try adding the voters that bought your “trump will stop the genocide” bullshit as well as third party spoilers, see who wins.

          holy FUCK, you’re seriously arguing that since Israel is only illegally attacking Lebanon but bothers to say it’s Hezbollah, it doesn’t count?

          Pathetic.

          hat bought your “trump will stop the genocide” bullshit

          I’ve never said that in my life. The only benefit Trump can possibly have to the world is he’s so idiotic he might destroy the US empire quickly and with less harm than more competent people like Biden’s handlers were.

          as well as third party spoilers

          We already covered this one - there were no third party spoilers. Kamala lost all on her own.

            Correct. There was no (official) plan to annex Lebanon until after Biden lost the election.

            I wonder what will happen when the US empire falls apart? How many genocides and land grabs will start the literal next day? I guess we’re gonna find out.

            I think you missed an important half of that sentence, bucko. I remember something particularly funny in its absurdity shortly after the election: some Palestinian American dude in Michigan who had been campaigning for people to not vote based on genocide was saying “yeah I didn’t realize it would get worse!”

              Oh my sweet summer child, you think the US empire STOPS genocides?

              I remember something

              Sure you do sweetie, sure you do. Given your tendency to rewrite history you’ve displayed here, that’s hardly shocking that you choose to remember what you’ve decided must be true.
