I can hear the posts now:

maybe-later-kiddo: First you say he needs to do more. Then you say airdropping food isn't a solution. I don't see you doing anything! He's literally doing the most.

A reddit thread from yesterday - Biden announces U.S. will airdrop food aid into Gaza : politics

The thread is filled with total shit. I didn't think reddit would yawn at genocide. I was wrong. Here's the top comment and a reply chain. It was weird to see it because the last two comments are pretty much something I would write as a bitter parody. Yet all the fuckers are serious.

Everyone saying this isn't enough, and it's a meaningless gesture - yes to the first, no to the second.

This is a pretty strong political gesture that Biden is getting very sick of Israel's shit. It's a public distancing of the US from one of its closest allies, in a direct but deniable contradiction of Israel's stance that they're only killing Hamas. It's a not-so-subtle message that he's done expending political capital for them.

Biden is doing the right thing.

Any honest look at the man's life shows us this is his default. He is flawed but he is objectively a good PERSON. Can anyone say that honestly about the other guy?

He is flawed but he is objectively a good PERSON.

He's the type of president you feel you can have an ice cream with.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
