So... I'm not hearing that he actually paused, or even reduced, the weapon shipments here, which kinda means you're still just assuring us that trump would definitely be way worse.
Shut your reddittoid debatelord fuck hole you little pissweasel, I haven't moved a single goalpost - I asked for evidence Trump would be worse, and you failed to provide that, so I asked follow up questions so your ignorant ass could find a better way to make your point.
Also, you do know about the result of that aid pause, right? Israel invaded Rafah anyway and Joe backed down like a good imperialist dog. Holding back some bombs for a little while didn't slow the genocide in the slightest, it just meant their stockpiles didn't get replenished quite so quickly. Like sure, technically you fulfilled your own conditions of showing Biden paused the shipments, but the goalposts I set at the start were Biden enabling the genocide less than Trump (hypothetically) would. If the pause not only has no effect on the genocide, but ends up being backtracked on, can you really say that he's enabling them less than Trump would? Sure the schedule's not the same, but the effects are.
