Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Oh look, the thing we said Biden should've done from day one is effective. I'm sure all the 'serious' people that said you can't just condition aid to Israel will apologise for being wrong and allowing for the murder of 20000 children.
Hey, I was one of those people, and I paid attention to polls. Israel has squandered a lot of good will, but Biden has to be very, very careful here because there's still a lot of zionist democrats.
And he is being careful.
But as Israel does more genocidal things, they'll lose more support, and Biden will be able to ramp up the pressure on them.
All we've been saying, this whole time, is that Biden needs to do whatever he needs to do to get elected. Not what's righteous. What's practical.
I think you mean Zionist Republicans.
22% of Democrats and 58% of Republicans do not believe Israel is committing genocide.

Zionist independents, mostly tbh
22% of Democrats, 35% of Independents, and 58% of Republicans believe Israel is not committing genocide according to the newest poll linked above. It’s definitely mostly Republicans.
Yeah but Biden dgaf about Republicans because they will never in a million years vote for him
Up to and including supplying weapons and funding for a genocide? This position is morally reprehensible. I'm sympathetic to the argument that people should still vote for Biden for harm reduction, but suggesting Biden's support for Israel's genocide is justified because it helps him get elected is way over the line.
Enjoy your righteousness while Trump ships you off to the camps
Hyperbole to make it sound reasonable to do genocide for political expediency ^^^
It's not hyperbole. That's their end game. Read history. This is absolutely a rising fascist movement.
Your post gives me "evil Jews and Zionists run the world" vibes. Does he really have to bow to Zionists to win an election or else?
He doesn't have to bow to them, he just has to consider their wishes if he wants their vote, same as those who think Israel is run by genocidal maniacs.
(which it is, for the record)
That would mean Biden has to compromise with genocidal maniacs without supporting genocide anymore... how does one do that? Yeah, what a pickle he is in.
Welcome to geopolitics, it's not fucking simple
If young adults consistently came out to vote, the government would pay attention to what they want.
Young adults voting in their first presidential in 2020: wins the DNC Georgia and thus the legislative majority
libs in 2024: should have voted harder kiddo, get ignored because the genocide must go on. (Trump would totally genocide harder)
If you read that again, you will find it says "consistently."
IDK what to tell you if you don't think Muslim bans, wanting Israel to finish the job, and threatening to nuke Iran over twitter isn't going to exacerbate the situation. Good luck under the next admin, I guess, you'll sure have shown me.
