    I don’t need to “criticize Biden”. That isn’t what’s happening anyhow. What’s happening is that people are pretending Biden is the one doing this and threatening to destroy the United States if he doesn’t stop the thing which he is not doing. Sending Israel money is a fuck of a lot older than his presidency.

      Just because it’s been happening for a while doesn’t make it right.

      Why was Rafah a red line until all of a sudden it wasn’t? Because he knows it’s morally wrong and will lead to a lot of death but is too much of a coward to stand up for what he believes.

        Just because you care about it now doesn’t suddenly make it more important than every concern, including preventing it from getting far worse.

          I cared the whole time.

          Honestly as someone who isn’t American, this is more important to me than economic policy or whatever. I want Biden to win, Trump winning would be awful for everyone, basically worldwide. But most of all I want the kids to stop dying. I really don’t think this is so unreasonable.

          Trump won’t be convinced. Biden might be. And this “less important” issue could still cost him swing states. I think maybe not supporting a genocide could be a vote winner.

            If you’re going around defending third party votes then you are doing a pretty horrifically bad job of helping Palestinians

              Well if you’re going around making up what people are saying then you’re doing a pretty horrifically bad job of having a conversation.

              Where did I defend third party votes? NOWHERE

                  No worries. Mistakes happen. I won’t be a prick about it.

                  But not anti Biden. Anti genocide. I can see why you might get those two confused, lol
