yes and thank you for the excuse to share one of my all-time favorite tweets (from @longwall26.bsky.social)

Glad you guys won and that it courageously liberated Gaza so it's people could be free today. Letting Trump win so he could pave Gaza over for luxury condos was a brilliant move. Too bad Gaza will be underwater in 50 years thanks to the shreading of any climate progress under him, though.

Trump has killed far more people than Obama, both in and out of war, and will ultimately lock in the worst effects of Climate Change, which will kill billions. So no, I absolutely do not favor him, and unlike you, I voted to make sure he didn't regain power.

My entire argument is that given two choices, 100K are killed or 1M are killed, the morally responsible thing is to choose the former. Now, you can opt out, but if doing so makes the latter more likely, sorry, those 900K additional deaths are on your hands.

I included Libya in that 50K. Maybe he lands somewhere between that and 100K, but no where near what Bush did and Trump is getting ready to do in Iran. And I'm not insinuating, I'm stating it plainly. How did Obama 'escalate' Bush's wars? Did he invade 3 additional countries with 400K soldiers?

His body count was absolutely under 1 million, what are you even talking about? I don’t think he even cracked 50K. George Bush killed about 1 million and he had to invade and occupy two countries with 200K US soldiers to do so. Obama did nothing on such a scale.
