Joe Biden did not need to circumvent congress twice in order to support Netanyahu's genocide. No one was clamoring for it. No one would have blamed him if he didn't.
37 Senate Democrats voted against placing conditions on aid for Israel.
If Democrats don't want people saying they support genocide, they should quit supporting genocide.
Yes. Notice how the Republicans would just openly support genocide in Gaza AND pull out of Ukraine.
The point IS NOT that Democrats are somehow "good". I never said that. In fact, I say the opposite all the time. My point is they're still better than the Republicans, and any attempt to imply otherwise is pure stupidity.
Why do you want to engage in stupidity?
Democrats' genocide is more moral than Republicans' genocide. Congratulations. Democrats should not be supporting genocide and until they stop, those that do should be treated with the contempt they have earned.
But instead you're calling me stupid for criticizing them.
No one is supporting genocide here. I literally said the Democrats are not good... Why do you insist on strawmanning everyone? Are you a child or just an edgy moron?
So why are you calling me stupid for criticizing the party to which I belong because I don't want them supporting genocide? I gave examples of Democrats doing just that. You ignored that and started slinging abuse. I doubt you'll ever stop.
I can criticize Republicans on this, but them being fascist shit on their best day has never been in question.
You are constantly assuming the positions of those you are talking about and to.
I said Democrats support genocide. You started calling me names immediately. I gave examples, you added additional insults.
If you don't support genocide, why are you so combative towards those who don't want Democrats supporting genocide?
