He pretty objectively is, yes. But that's not because Ted Bundy wasn't a monster, it's because Joe Biden is.

How on earth could you possibly read that analogy as apologizing for Ted Bundy? Can you read?

I wrote about things he conceivably could’ve done differently. I also stated some possible reasons why he didn’t do those things. How is that a lie?

Because you completely ignored the stuff he actively did to make the problem worse. It's like saying, like, "Sure, Ted Bundy could've been more supportive of women by donating or volunteering for various causes, but he was busy and short on cash. Sure, he could've done better." It's absolutely ridiculous. The lie is in the way you frame it. But Ted Bundy only killed 36 women while the weapons Joe Biden went out of his way to give to Israel have killed orders of magnitude more. So what you're saying is even more absurd that that.

Absolutely inexcusable genocide apologia.

The Nazis would say it, sure. Would you agree with them? Because it sort of sounds like you'd agree with them.

First off, that's a ridiculous assumption. Not everyone subscribes to your ideology of lesser evilism, and the vast majority of people who correctly reject that ideology are not accelerationists.

But secondly, just curious, if I was a German citizen who hated Nazi Germany and wanted it to fail, would that make me worse than the Nazis? The Nazis were just doing genocide, after all, but I committed what is apparently a far worse sin in your eyes, of insufficient patriotism.

You're arbitrarily focusing on something Biden doesn't control while intentionally ignoring the stuff he's very clearly and intentionally done to materially support Israel. That's obviously disingenuous. Suggesting that the problem is he just doesn't have the power to do anything differently is a lie.

That is approval of weapons sales, not sending them more money.

And that matters why? We shouldn't be giving them aid or selling them weapons?

In addition, Congress allocates funds to send to other countries and the President executes the orders he is given. Biden could’ve vetoed the aid bills I suppose

Biden literally bypassed congress to send more aid than what they had approved multiple times.

I hate the way liberals just shamelessly lie about this stuff, you don't even have the excuse of the election anymore.

But I've been repeatedly informed that the democrats are secretly pro-Palestine and were only pretending to support Israel to win over Zionist voters. Now that Biden has nothing to lose, why isn't he doing anything? Could it be that all those people were full of shit?

"Why should I break my head about the outside world? Let the outside world break it's own head!"

"He's right. As the good book says, if you spit in the air, it lands in your face."

"Nonsense! You can't close your eyes to what's happening in the world."

"...He's right."

"He's right, and he's right, they can't both be right."

"You know, you are also right."

That's completely upside down. Democracy means the people within the government structure are supposed to uphold the values of the broader population. If you think the people in the government structure should be the ones to set the values, then maybe democracy isn't for you.
