The administration claimed that blocking arms transfers would embolden Hamas — ignoring Israel’s genocidal slaughter.

      He could be using his king powers granted by the SCOTUS to give minimum wage, the funds he promised, fully cancel student debt, keep queer protections, make abortion legal, or any of the things he said he would do but somehow was always stopped.

      But he just keeps giving aid to “Literally Genocide LLC” because who cares, he’ll take that AIPAC money and run before the Trump fans start going after him.

    He earned the Genocide Joe tag at this point. Hes got nothing to lose but still insists the genocide continues without the least bit of resistance.

      but after the election the Democrats are going to be anti genocide. They can’t be progressive until after the election because of AIPAC. once the election is over, they’re going to do a complete 180 mark my words

        Don’t worry, Trump will be so much better for this entire situation. Let’s revisit your comment in 2025 and see if you’re calling out Trump for this as well.

          What in God’s name are you on? How on earth is criticizing members of the democratic party in any way considered to be support of Trump?? You guys are really taking the term “partisanship” to heart. I’m entirely convinced you’d petulantly support anyone if they were a part of the Democrat establishment. The way you come out of the woodwork to spout off this kind of deranged nonsense, it almost sounds like you WANT the genocide in Gaza to worsen. Like if it didn’t, you’d be deprived of the opportunity to pompously rub someone’s nose in it.

          Have you no principles? Have you no morality? Are you a doomerist or a pessimist or what? If you have nothing worthwhile to add to political dialog other than “criticizing Joe Biden for literally protecting genociders from international prosecution and also continuously arming them is exactly the same thing as supporting Donald Trump” then maybe turn off your phone and go back to plugging your ears and closing your eyes. Your liberal friends are all waiting for you.

      That was guaranteed, the Democrats that voted against it is the important part; these are the people to campaign against and vote out.

        Sure, then you can have Republicans replace them and be assured it never comes up for a vote at all. The logic is outstanding.

          You mean the logic of just ignoring that primaries exist in order to prop op the false dichotomy that led to losing all parts of the government to a literal fascist party?

          Yeah, your logic IS outstandingly bad.

          How are you still making this argument? I hope you’re a bot, because if that’s a human brain behind these words that’s depressing.

          Voting-oriented do nothing liberals are just waiting with their thumbs up their asses for one more chance to vote for the “lesser evil” Democrats who are worse than the “greater evil” Republicans of 20 years ago.

          I don’t want to hear any more complaints from liberals until they fucking get out in the streets and actually take meaningful political actions that matter. Voting is nothing now, don’t you see? If enough of you cowards joined the left in being anti-genocide, if enough of you joined protests and riots and strikes and actual direct action, if enough of you considered voting to be the bare minimum and not the entirety of your civic duty, then and only then would we actually see any improvement.

          I’m sick of hearing about how people didn’t vote properly. get the fuck out there and take real action. If not now, when?

          You’re the people standing idly by and enabling the greatest evils. You’re the ones future generations will be asking about when they say “why didn’t anyone do anything?”

          Nobody is going to talk about a minority of leftists choosing not to vote pro-genocide. They’re all going to be talking about do nothing cowardly Democrats watching their country go to shit because voting is the only thing they consider political action.

          Stop punching left. Join us on the left and punch back. You fucking idiots.

              Edit: Oh my God I think he means running for office. He literally can’t imagine political action outside of elections. Libs gonna lib.

                A Senate term is 6 years. Before a run it might be good for the grown ups to check the particulars.

              For some, that time is coming. Come nov 2026 midterms all class 2 senators are up for reelection (and then class 3 in 2028). While there are more Republicans up at that point than Democrats, the strategy will be the same, and many of those Republican seats seem pretty safe.

                And Republicans will never allow the Senate to vote on arms supply to Israel. It’s really that simple.

          Nothing you’ve said here makes sense. Biden can’t start Trump’s term early. Just because you feel morally correct doesn’t mean rationality goes out the window. Baseless finger pointing about genocide is an extremely stupid move. Do better.
