While I too am horrified by how the Palestinians have been forgotten, abused, and annihilated, this is Bibi's thing. Bibi's been stoking his base on that fire forever. It is not Biden's fault that he happened to be in office while this latest round took place, but Biden has been more compassionate towards Palestinians than ... well let's just say more than several other leaders I could name.

Even if Biden personally murdered every single person who's died in Gaza, Trump has promised to do worse. Bibi, Captain Genocide himself, wants Trump to win. I'm sorry, "I'm not voting for Biden because of genocide" just doesn't make any goddamn sense in this situation and I don't buy it.

That's why I'm not voting for either genocider/pro-genocider.

That's like opting to do nothing and get force fed a bag of broken glass when the options were eat a plastic bag or eat a plastic bag full of glass.

Rest easy, they're in California, so their vote doesn't matter anyway.

Nice to know genocide isn't the red line for some people.

You are completely (and very possibly intentionally) missing the point. Either way, I have no interest in continuing this conversation so byeeeeee!

When the options are less genocide and more genocide, you're ok with not standing against the more genocide candidate and letting them win.

Seems like genocide isn't as big of a red line as you say it is if you don't care to lessen it.

Bidens only being more passionate towards them now because of the backlash he's received for continuing to help Israel
