Are you from the US and do you understand the non committed vote movement? It has explicit goals, to get a tally-able amount of people who want the Palestinian genocide to end.

So the guy who made the me-me called him “Genocide Joe”, that’s not representative of the entire the non committed vote movement. But some do call him that, as you have seen, and they call him that with reason. It’s a polarizing monicker to draw attention to the 30,000+ dead and counting. They want it to stop, those are 30,000+ civilians dead in systematic genocide. They will not call him that if he genuinely tries to end the genocide by pressuring Israel like the US is fully set up to do (the US funds the majority of Israel’s military and the US props up the Israeli economy).

Try harder to be human, it’s not about the name people call some guy, it’s the people dead and dying who have no escape and no protection.
