    And were Biden stupid enough to cut aid to Israel he’d lose two to three times as many potential Votes as there are to gain from cutting off aid. But you don’t care about that as purity is the only concern and consequences are for others to pay.

      It’s not about purity you donut. It’s about the fact that we’re witnessing a fucking genocide with our own eyes and instead of being outraged by it and calling for an immediate stop, you’re weighing political election outcomes.

        Yes exactly. Seriously I get the need for tactical voting, but this is embarrassing. Anybody criticises the president of the United States for supporting a fucking genocide and we get a lecture about Trump and how we’re going to spoil the election. Believe it or not some things are more important and Biden is failing in his duty as a president and a human being.

        Should you still vote for him? Yes, obviously.

        Does that mean we have to just stay quiet while he supports war crimes and much worse? Why the fuck should we

            No, the consequences shall be felt around the world. Just as they were the last time idiots decided teaching a lesson was more important.

        Biden is a politician. What else should we expect? He’s not a great leader, or a moral paragon, or a persuasive debater. He’s a politician.

            Nope, you’re the only one saying that. Claiming the moral high ground doesn’t give you the right to make shit up.

      The polling shows around 50/50 support toward Israel, and the the separation is generational. Quite succintly, Biden is in a pickle. Unconditional support toward Israel could also cost him the election. I’d argue this can be used as a wedge issue against the Democratic Party.

        Polling shows about 50% of Democratic voters view Israel’s invasion of Gaza as a genocide, and 30% aren’t sure yet, with only 20% viewing it as not a genocide.

        Biden’s actions don’t reflect the vast majority of Democratic voters.
