            I think you have created a false dichotomy here where you seem to claim that the only two options are “Biden said explicitly that he supported the Israeli genocide in Gaza” or “Biden does not support the Israeli genocide in Gaza” when it seems self evident that more than those two options exist.

            He circumvented congress to sell Netanyahu weapons to be used for genocide. That’s a more reliable indicator than the words of a politician.

                I did answer. You didn’t like the answer because it wasn’t unquestioning support for the genocide you’ve always wanted.

      It’s a “gotcha” word. If Sanders or AOC said genocide, which AOC danced around it without saying it, the media would destroy them.

        No politicians are calling this a genocide? That’s news to me? Your excuse stinks of special pleading.
