Yeah, and it doesn't matter if the politicians overseeing those times are "boring"

    Biden was boring. It was a welcome reprieve from daily scandals and, at minimum, monthly constitutional crises. Now we're moving to weekly constitutional crises. Functional government is boring. It's mostly bureaucratic regulatory bookkeeping.

    It's certainly possible to not be boring in a positive way, for instance if a politician is loudly advocating for radical positive change. But statistically speaking, boring is less harmful than the alternative.

    That's also why Trump was so effective at getting votes.

    It's a lot harder to argue when you're following laws and being honest. You're at a severe disadvantage (same as Kamala)

    Trump doesn't care about the truth, he doesn't care about law, and because he KNOWS he can't pardon himself for state crimes (like tax fraud in New York), despite being president, he WILL likely go to prison after his term. There is NO incentive for him to do whats right, and everything he does at this point, is driven by keeping himself out of prison.

    For anyone else, civil war would be terrible. For Trump, starting a civil war means he can claim its "war time" and postpone elections. We've already seen how low he's planning to stoop to.

    Biden spent a year committing genocide

    So did every president since Israel existed. The non-boring president didn't stop that genocide, he blocked a lot of aid we were sending Ukraine, and unblocked a lot of aid we weren't sending Israel. At least Biden wasn't trying to turn Gaza into his own resort. This is objectively worse than boring Biden.

    I'm comfortable writing off anyone trying to claim the last year and a half in Gaza is just "business as usual" is a genocide denying fascist who would have said of the Holocaust "eh, Jews have been descriminated against in Germany for centuries".

    Like, you don't even deserve to live, let alone have a "boring government".

    It's not the first time it's extended beyond "business as usual". And you conveniently ignored the fact that it's even worse now. Boring is a spectrum.

    Just a heads up. BrainInaBox is banned off many servers.. And, they claim everyone except themselves are genocidal.

    Meanwhile in my case, an admin told me that BrainInABox also tries to report people/comments they disagree with too to try to shut shut down discussions hoping that the reports wouldn't be properly reviewed (like a fascist). You'll see a trail of moderated comments behind BrainInABox as server admins delete them...

    I wouldn't be surprised if they've already reported you too. And in my case, they tried to defend their fascism.

    Basically, just let others know when you see others argue with them (to save them time). It's not a serious discussion. Just a troll..

    When was the last time Israel killed ten percent of the population in Gaza in under a year?

    You were the one ignoring the fact that it's even worse now, mate, not me. Unless you're trying to say it's worse under Trump, in which case, no, it's the same, you were just (more of) a genocide denier when it was your team doing it
