    And what does that do?

    Gives ammo to GOP and their allies to target Biden and attract fence-sitters and unaware.

    These things don’t happen in a vacuum.

    Biden isn’t rubbing his hands with glee and laughing maniacally.

    Do you honestly think these options weren’t considered over the last six months?

      On the contrary. The majority of the population doesn’t approve of supporting genocide, especially Democrats and prospective Dem voters further left.

      The status quo of supporting the genocide isn’t winning over anyone who would vote Republican if they stopped. It’s alienating millions of crucial voters who won’t vote at all if they DON’T stop.

      We can easily agree that not voting is a bad idea that is likely to contribute to the risk of mango Mussolini winning.

      Given that, we should be able to also agree that it’s a bad idea to knowingly keep doing something morally and ethically reprehensible that is causing people to do just that.

      Makes it harder for Netanyahu to continue committing genocide.

      We shouldn’t keep supporting genocide just because you’re scared of what the GOP might do. That’s a shitty reason for anything, and it’s disgusting cowardice in this context.

        What happens when your high morals cost American lives here at home? You’ll learn a lot about cowardice when living under authoritarian rule.

        In before, “just have a bloody war.”

          I did not suggest voting for Trump or not voting for Biden.

          I said that Biden should stop supporting genocide.

            Is your position also that we need to endlessly discuss bidens position on Isreal during an election year? Or are there other issues that we need to address as americans?

              We could also talk about how we still don’t have Medicare for All yet if you’d want.

              The fact that he’s supporting genocide with our tax dollars seems very relevant though. Trump and Bush never even did that

              Such discussion becomes inevitable as long as he continues to support genocide. It’s one of the reasons he should stop. Thank you for letting me know that you have more of a problem with people talking about genocide than you do the genocide itself.

                I have a problem with people obscuring trumps demented presidential run with shit we already knew about Biden in 2020. I voted in 2020s primary and it wasn’t for conservative lite. Elections have consequences and if you can’t live with those consequences what the fuck are you doing?

                  You have a problem with anyone who says the genocide you’ve always wanted should have less support.

      Should we also not support healthcare, trans rights, women’s rights, work reform , tax reform, climate change laws and all the other things they get angry at? The road to fascism is paved with political convenience.

      “Oh, I’m so sorry, I’d love to stop the genocide, but think of the optics! It would be soooooooo optically bad if we stopped the genocide! It could make the fence sitters vote for trump! We all know the fence sitters love genocide!”
