So the genocide is going to stop if Republicans win right? …Right?? I mean it’s not like presidential candidates are signing bombs used on children saying to finish them… riiiight?
Biden doesn’t need my support right now. He needs it on election day. Until that day I’m going to criticize his actions (or lack there of) and how he runs his campaign (as is my right as an American) because he’s doing a bad job (again) at making people want to vote for him.
It shouldn’t be this difficult to beat an open fascist like Trump, but Biden is putting forth only token efforts to actually earn votes. He can stop payments to Israel. He can stop weapon shipments to Israel. That would earn him votes on the left, but he’s too busy courting the right to bother. Too busy arguing with the ICJ that what’s going on isn’t genocide.
Yeah, Nikki Haley signed some bombs. Joe Biden signed the check that paid for them (metaphorically).

Excellent take. We can all be in agreement that Biden deserves criticism and needs to change positions, and then vote for him unhappily on election day if nothing changes. We don’t have to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Better the devil we know than the ones explicitly telling us they will be worse.
Did you miss my first three sentences? I can still be critical of a candidate that I plan to vote for. We all should be more openly critical of the candidates we support. It promotes better candidates and lowers the tribalist walls that keep us insulated in our echo chambers.
Context clues my guy, when my feed is flooded with Genocide Joe memes because it’s an election year and various interests are trying to dissuade people from voting so Republicans take power, it’s pretty easy to tell what this meme is doing.
You think genocide Joe memes are to dissuade Republicans from voting for Joe Biden? You think someone concerned about genocide would vote for Trump for Biden? What?
You’re at a work retreat for a month, and management is taking a vote on what to get for food. Word is that everyone else is about 50/50 split between BBQ ribs, and pepperoni pizza. You’re a vegetarian, what you’d really like is Indian food, but the only ones interested are a handful of other vegetarians. If ribs win, you starve, if pizza wins, you spend the next month picking off pepperonis. How do you vote?
Edit: lots of downvotes, but not a single answer. What a shock.
Again, no one said anything about voting for republicans. How about you try on this hypothetical:
You’re president of the USA and the country that receives the highest amount of your foreign aid is committing genocide. If you continue sending billions in dollars and weapons then you lose votes, but if you stop supporting genocide, then you gain votes. How do you president?
No I mean literally. Nikki Haley is signing bombs headed to Israel, most likely for use in Rafah, writing Finish Them on the bombs.
Holy shit. I honestly thought this was bullshit so I had to look it up.

What in the actual fuck
Wow. They really buried that one… I’m not sure if I’m glad I asked or not
I intend to criticize Biden’s position today, and every day henceforth until the conflict is over.
That is independent of my vote for him. I will criticize him on election day and hopefully on his inauguration for a second term.
Fucking right wing trolls pretending to be leftists, don’t fall for this shit
