Congress would have to approve the weapons regardless of who becomes president. Both of the candidates are going to continue to provide weapons, so what's your point?

And depending on how the Senate/house elections go this year, Trump could absolutely have the power to increase the amount of weapons going in. Especially if they decided to cut supplies for Ukraine.

Nobody is "putting their fear of Trump before analysis of genocide." We are taking the statements made by both candidates, putting them into the context of the situation, and making a decision based on the possible outcomes.

Like dude if you wanna vote for Trump just fuckin say so. If you live in a ranked choice state, then that's great, take advantage of that. Most of us however don't have that luxury.

The house and senate aren't split on genocide, they are on the same side. It doesn't matter which candidate wins for Palestine. You're ignoring the material basis and pretending the DNC opposes genocide.

No, I don't want to vote for Trump, fuck Trump.

I'm not pretending the DNC opposes genocide. I'm stating the DNC opposes Trump, and probably wouldn't vote for a bill that cuts Ukraine aid in favor of sending it to Israel.

I think that's unlikely to happen, most bills aren't evenly split.
