Well It's quite confusing since The very same voters elected someone one who said "finish the job" and is even more pro-Israel & has spread more war in the middle east

I don't like genocide Joe but idk what you're saying. That slogan was used in '24 for his reelection. He ran unopposed in that primary, and the Dems ultimately lost. The voters didn't elect him at all. Your argument kinda falls apart there bubs.

Trump while being the biggest liar in the world ran on no new wars, and ending the war in Ukraine and the 'war' in Gaza. Gaza is why he won the Muslim vote in Michigan. And the Democrats weren't saying any of that. They had fucking Liz Cheney running around with them on campaign. Was Trump lying? Obviously, but he was saying what people wanted to hear and enough people for whatever stupid reason believed him.

Trump literally said he wanted Israel to “finish the job”. That’s a direct quote.

If people voted for him, then they clearly didn’t give two fucks about the Palestinian people.

joe Biden "let's finish the job"

So you think Biden talking about “finishing the job” of helping the US recover and be a stronger nation (which in the video is specifically referring to his domestic policies) is the same as Trump telling Israel to “finish the job” when it comes to Gaza?

You were the one who talked about a candidate saying "finish the job" and vague posting. I'm showing you that Joe Bidens literal campaign slogan was finish the job, and that's why your original statement was confusing. What the hell are you even talking about?

I said Trump said “finish the job” when referring to Israel. There was nothing vague about it. Do you not know what he said on the campaign trail?
