last time i checked Biden isn’t the President of Gaza… Biden doesn’t “handle” Gaza… he is “handling” the United States of America the way it should be handled… fuck Gaza, fuck Israel… they can all kill each other, that’s all they know how to do… they can take each other back to the Bronze Age if that’s what they want, i don’t give a fuck…

I keep telling people this when they try to stand on the ‘You must be so privileged to not support Biden’. Biden is losing the Black communities faster than other communities, especially the women. What does that tell us?

You do know like half the country hasn’t had their primaries yet and they already called the race over. So I’m just not supposed to get to decide?

We didn’t have a primary. There’s never a (real) primary for a sitting president. It’s just ceremonial, like the Congressional Mace.

Biden wasn’t any better of a candidate today than he was when getting the nomination 4 years ago.

How about this instead? We vote for Biden to ensure that former President Orange does not get elected. Then, and only then, do we try to get Biden removed from office for his failure to protect Palestinian civilians.

Allowing Orange to win would make things worse for both Palestine and Ukraine.

“Now is not the time” is the slogan used all the time.

Yeah, like 3 months ago was the time (to make sure neither one got the nomination). Now is too late to do anything other than vote for a privileged white guy, way passed retirement, that doesn’t mind a little genocide (I feel this accurately describes both candidates).

Been hearing that for decades and been hearing ‘no but its for real this time’ for about 12 years now. Reminds me of a quote,

“A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that’s going on right now.”

They tell themselves they want to do the right thing in every moment but the current moment.
