Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

Its illegal to send weapons or money to a country that is committing genocide. Biden could have simply said he cannot legally support Israel in any way and then just not. Instead Biden chose to lie for Israel aboiut 40 beheaded babies and provide unlimited diplomatic support, going so far as to bomb Yemen for resisting.
Democratic leadership knew this would decrease turnout, they prioritized unlimited support for Israel over winning the election.
Cool. What’s the source, please?
Also, does it work when we’re the one doing it? And is it strictly genocide or is it general war criming.
Here's a list of domestic laws that were violated, to say nothing of international law:

Ok then if you're right why was Netanyahu mad at Biden? Why did he want Trump to win? Because there's no such thing as unlimited support and then wanting to remove the person you're getting unlimited support from
Do you understand that a lot of politics is theater? You have to watch what people actually do, not what they pretend.
Ok so then why are you refusing to look at what people actually did?
Edit: Trump has been pushing for ethnic cleansing so he could have waterfront casinos and you guys love him
You're all a bunch of traitors
I think because your definition of "what people actually did" and mine differs a lot. Either that or we are talking past each other.
Yeah, your crowd decided to help Republicans guarantee more people got killed and tortured.
But you're pretending you have no responsibility for the consequences of your actions because you're such an ideologically pure idealist
This is a russian/eastern perspective. Theater has no effect on real life politics does. They are NOT the same. If you act like they are you are part of the problem.
No its not. This is the plain western world reality that politicians lie and posture. If you think you can trust what they say then I dont know what to tell you.
Yes they lie but that is not theater. That is a lie. Do you not know the difference? This kind of mindset is exactly what im talking about.
In Biden/Harris's case of supporting the zionists while pretending to be against what they are doing-- with nonsense like his idiotic and pointless floating dock, and his very temporary freeze on one type of munition-- "lies vs theater" seems to me to be a distinction without a difference.
And do you remember all the times we heard that Biden and Harris were negotiating feverishly with netenyahu and talking about their concerns, for the Israelis to then say Biden never called them and there has been no communication at all? So how do you see that distinction between lies and theater matters at all?
Fuck israel. Theres and entire school of iranian kids that are now dead because harris lost. That is the destinction.

You mean the liar who wanted Trump to win lied?
Pro-genocide centrists (there is no other kind) say this about everyone who disagrees with them on their only policy.
You can not be anti genocide and actively assist Republicans in making the genocide worse.
If you genuinely oppose genocide you're obligated to oppose those who want to make it worse, and yet you're helping them
If you don't like genocide, it means you support genocide - the genocide wing of the democratic party.
No i say this to anyone trying to downplay the severity of political involvement. The fact you dont understand this is exactly why
I love how centrists imagine that people don't understand them when they're just not buying their flimsy justification for genocide support.
If centrists wanted anything more than they wanted genocide, they would actually have fought for something harder than they did for genocide. I don't think any of you ever will.
I'm pretty sure you'll call the students who protested centrists for not being successful enough too
Who gives a fuck! You ghouls care more about your fucking parasocial kayfabe character drama than the lives of millions of people
You call it kayfabe and call me a ghoul and then you're choosing to help Republicans hurt billions
That makes you a monster
Edit: you saw what project 2025 would do and decided to help people like Musk, Miller, Bannon and Trump, so that they could escalate the suffering, because YOU WANTED IT, because you prefer seeing people die if it means USA loses status, you'll rather see people martyred then fed by aid from a source you find offensive
Lol. At least try to be consistent
I am consistent in calling you out for selectively doing whatever helps Republicans
Because Biden's base was less pro-genocide, so no matter what Biden himself did, strategically the republicans would always be a safer bet.
There was no level of support the dems could offer that would have caused Netanyahu to support them over the republicans.
