Your dream presidential ticket

Neither, obviously. One was the worst VP since John C. Calhoun, the other is responsible for the most disastrous period in Israeli history.

Neither, though Netanyahu has done less damage as he doesn't have the same level of influence.

I've seen this talking point a lot in the past few weeks. The new line of 'actually the war is bad because it's damaging Israel' isn't very convincing when half(I'm probably being generous saying it's only half) your movement literally wants to destroy Israel.

"Hand waving away a war crime" is an infractable comment according to Mr. X.

But one of his cronies telling a Jew he "literally wants to destroy Israel" because he thinks Bibi is a bad leader will go untouched.

Your comment isn't worth engaging with but the double standard is noted.

I said it was 50%, never said you were part of that 50%, but you seem to think you are so I guess I can't quibble with that

Netanyahu has had a much bigger impact than Cheney in terms of overall policy, even given Cheney's position in the White House. He has done so in almost entirely positive ways, like liberalizing the economy and leading the opposition to the Oslo Accords. Easy Netanyahu.

Both are at a scale of evil great enough that I don't think there's a way to argue for a preference in a way that wouldn't be offensive

On absolute terms the Iraq War caused more destruction than the Hamas conflict but Netanyahu’s
been in power for over twice as long. Also Bibi has done more damage to Israel’s global reputation in half a year than Cheney did to America’s in eight.

Cheney did some things ok, before Halliburton corrupted the last vestiges of sanity.

Cheney did more to harm the world, Netanyahu did more to harm his own country.

Just saw a clip of John Bolton saying that he wrote in Dick Cheney in 2020. Has there ever been anything more 'on brand' in the history of U.S. politics?
