In short, US residents need to shut it down before Genocide Joe escalates us to World War III.

    “Genocide Joe”. Nice. I wonder if US democrats fully comprehend the support they’re flushing with their current foreign policy.

    Edit: I just love how every response to this has been some version of “Republicans are worse”. It’s true of course, but this doesn’t erase the sense of betrayal many on the Left feel. That betrayal won’t likely make people vote Republican, but it’s certainly enough to make people stay home.

    • A Trump presidency would result in precisely nill fewer deaths in Palestine and more deaths domestically as the same bigoted rage on display in the Gaza strip would be celebrated and supported at home. I’m sorry it is that way, but both parties are married to Zionism. It may be possible to push the Dems away from this over time, but hear me now, Palestine and Israel going hot and sparking a global conflict is the primary motivation for Evangelical Republicans. It is a feature of their literal eschatology. They will not be disentangled from their religious motivation of ending the actual fucking world. And they’ll cheer and laugh as the world watches Israeli boots crush infant skulls until Muslim world is incensed enough to want open conflict on Israel.

    • You know, you’re really telling on yourself with this kind of statement.

      Democrats are upset with Biden’s actions because they are not a monolith. You can support a politician, and still be upset with his actions. It’s called the duality of being human.

      If you’re expecting democrats to commit to everything their leader says and does without a single critical thought, even if what they’re saying contradicts what they previously said, then you’re looking at the wrong party, bud. That’s the behavior of Trump Republicans, and Trump Republicans exclusively.
