Just two months ago, Biden said that the invasion of Rafah is a “red line” Israel must not cross.

Man I fucking hate to have to do this to all the Biden apologists on lemmy who let it get this far, but we told you so.

Thanks. You've handed the election to trump.

The people who hand this election to Trump will do so at the polling booth.

Bullshit. Don't blame voters for Biden risking handing the forever keys to the country to the fucking Nazis just to protect a genocide. Some people have actual principles and if one of those principles is to not vote for a guy that arms and funds a genocide, don't you fucking dare blaming them. This is on Biden and his handlers thinking it was a jolly fine strategy trying to manufacture enough consent for a genocide among Democrats and Independents to win an election. The obvious weak link is that genocide is a bit of a hard sell to non fascists, in case you didn't realize.

Many democrats and independents will still do their duty and vote for Biden, but many simply can't or won't vote for a pro genocide politician even if the alternative is so much worse. Some things simply can't stand and consequences be damned, you know? Conservatives feel that shit over stuff like trans people needing to use the bathroom and naughty books, but genocide is one of those things that can make even a Democrat put their foot down. I mean, who could have figured the woke brigade was against genocide? Camp Biden surely didn't.

To summarize, Biden shot a big gaping hole in his own foot and you are blaming the voters for his almost inevitable loss in the upcoming foot race? Is that about right? I can almost see him aiming at the other foot right now, thinking more speed holes will give him an edge.
