I support voting for biden (barely) and I support telling him to stop supporting genocide. All you wanna do is pretend there is no genocide. That makes you a genocidal reactionary, and whatever I am it's a fuck of a lot better than that :3
Wow, look at you lying about what I said while it's still clearly visible on the screen.
So you do oppose genocide? I thought you wanted people to shut up about it until after the election? If genocide is so bad you should try protesting it instead of telling people to be quiet about it
I am protesting it. I attended a rally last week, went to a meeting to schedule future actions yesterday, and have generally been very proactive about creating pressure on organisations to divest from Israel. I've been putting time and energy into actual solutions. You know what's not an actual solution? Trying to make Trump lose by a narrower margin. There are no solutions in electoral politics, there is only choosing the lesser evil. Then you go out on the streets and you fight the lesser evil, and thank your lucky stars you don't have to fight the greater evil.
You originally said 'Biden is committing genocide,' man.
Israel is acting unilaterally, there are no US troops on the ground nor US planes in the sky.
Biden is one of the people trying to get the situation under control. Someone else pointing out that trump says 'finish the job' is just adding context.
Who would people choose, the guy who's trying to do something or the one who wants more killing?
Biden is literally sending money and weapons to Israel, while also sending aid. It's hypocritical and dumb. You can't do both and act like you're doing the second one in good conscience.
