Suddenly hearing crickets from the "Genocide Joe" crowd. Would still love an explanation of how this is supposed to somehow be "better" for the people of Gaza.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Most leftist voters around me knew that a vote for Harris or Trump was a vote for genocide, but I don't think anyone but the truly gullible thought that a vote for Trump was a vote against genocide. Most voted for Harris as a means of harm reduction, especially considering that Harris could probably be pressured out of genocide if we made a big enough stink.
The whole "Genocide Joe" trope reminds me a lot of the "Bernie Bro's" trope of 2016; a largely manufactured division of leftist and liberal voters to promote infighting.
They are probably too busy gobbling up the next piece of Russian propaganda to care about this anymore.
He told ILTV that even under the previous administration of President Joe Biden, the amount of military aid and ammunition that was withheld from Israel was “very, very minor.”
That Genocide Joe you mean?
"Is forced" typical double speak about war acts by Israel and the US.
Manufacturing consent.
"Stop forcing me to genocide you"
"We can forgive [the Arabs] for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children." - Israeli prime minister Golda Meir.
Their idea of being "forced" at this point is a rock thrown across the border. If Oct 7th was a bee sting, the response is napalming any hive in a 10 mile radius.
Ynet is the basically the equivalent of fox for Israeli news. It's 100% manufacturing consent. They basically frame all aggression as "self defense"
If? Israel being "forced" to resume their genocide (according to themselves and other Zionist cultists, of course) is as predictable as both them and the majority of the most powerful politicians in the West lying through their teeth about it.
