Obama purposely did not encode Roe v Wade to use it as a carrot to force voters to keep voting Democrat.
Abortion rights are being lost is because the Democrats refused to be progressive and compromised with the Republicans on everything.
Biden voted against Gay marriage, trans rights and other issues for a loooong time until it started costing votes. When they started needing votes they started adopting those policies.
Even now Biden is not fighting for abortion rights. He is fighting for weapons to israel.
Genocide is a breaking point. A red line.
There is no compromise for Genocide. The Genocide stops or the Biden stops. Light that fire under Bidens ass so he makes that choice. No more fence sitting.
And that's better for Biden too. The sooner Biden uses his power to stop the Genocide, the sooner he will get votes again.
All this bad Democrat publicity will disappear very fast if Biden fixes the issue. Ignoring it is not an option. We need to pretending it is.
Ok.. so when Trump wins Palestine will be in a great situation right? Better than now?
Depends on if you actually put pressure on Biden to stop the Genocide.
Else Palestine will be fully Genocided before Trump will win.
Which then causes Trump to win.
Trying to ignore this issue will be what actually causes Trump to win. It's in everyone's best interest to stop ignoring it.
Reagan picked up the phone and threatened Israel in 1984, and Israel immediately withdrew from their invasion of Lebanon.
HW Bush did a similar thing: call up Israel, threaten their military aid, and Israel immediately capitulated.
Why does Biden refuse to pick up the phone? Saying this solution is impractical is simply ignoring history.
If hes so afraid of the backlash, maybe he should also consider the backlash of being the only powerful nation to support this genocide. Loss of prestige and moral superiority on the world stage? Violent blowback against US troops in the region, or even worse, terrorist attacks on US civilians? And on the domestic stage, this is a huge gift to Trump.
Why is Bidem willing to sacrifice so much to continue this genocide?
Dems controlled everything during Obama but let's not dwindle on that.
Besides the Holocaust thing Hitler was pretty big on industrializing. It guess that was also just a "one-issue thing."?
Direct ceasefire.
Hostage exchange.
Palestinian state according to 1967 borders or make israel find a compromise with the Palestinians. Palestinians have shown to be willing to negotiate. Israel does not negotiate because they don't need to as long as Biden supports them unconditionally.
This issue is going on only because everyone wants to hot potato it. Even Biden is actively doing everything he can not to fix it.
Israel can not ignore those demands because they are fully dependent on American support. Biden can 100% control these issues. These types of issues with israel have happened in the past and American president's were able to shut them down at will.
