Yeah! Everyone rally around genocide Joe! It's not like he's been paid more than any other US politician by pro Israel groups!
Helps you understand why he's so enthusiastic about delivering the weapons though.
gEnOciDe jOe!
Sounds a lot like something Trump would say, doesn’t it? I wonder where it came from?
It came from him aiding a genocide.
Naaah… it came from MAGA.
there is no proof for this. it doesn't even make sense. trump loves the Israel genocide

LOL Trump is telling Israel to hurry up (aka genocide harder). The nickname isn’t really appropriate for Biden given the global context.
I was about to say - Biden is at least saying "you need to fucking chill", Trump literally just said he'd be calling for Israel to "finish the job".
That being said, am I tired of having to make this sort of shitty-ass choice every four years? Yes. However, ESPECIALLY this election cycle, we don't have anyone better on the ticket.
RFK? He's basically a mouthpiece for the conspiracy-right, just not quite as loud as Trump. He's got some decent ideas buried deep under the midden-heap that is his anti-vaccine rambling, but anyone who says that Texas' whole "we're gonna fucking kill every immigrant who steps foot on our soil" idea was justified the way he has doesn't deserve the office, as well as his want to take the US back to what is effectively isolationism.
Stein is way too comfortable with anti-science positions, almost total opposition to war and military aid, and her opposition to nuclear power is maddening paired with her statements about how every nuclear plant is a bomb waiting to explode.
Well it is appropriate, because Biden is enthusiastically aiding a genocide, right this second
Those stats go back 35 years. He's maybe the only person that's been in office that long, of course he's going to accumulate the most.
That’s not really a knock against his statement. That he has gotten a lot from Israel for a long time, and so may feel beholden to them.
I am also getting absolute sick of all of the people who are jumping down the throats of people who express weariness at Joe Biden being the democratic nominee. Like ffs, he is in no way representing my interests and is another step tword the right. It may be slower then the full on sprint of the Republican Party, but my ONLY input into this process is my vote. In the primaries i sure as shit did not vote for joe, and anyone refusing to vote because of the bull shit he’s pulled is justified.
Instead of blaming the disenfranchised you and the Democrats should find a better politician and better politics
LOL. Straight up apologism, nice.
LOL. Straight up misrepresentation of facts, nice.
Support colonial genocide more, I'm sure it will age like fine wine!
Who are you accusing of supporting genocide exactly?
Anyone not actively against it, is complicit, unfortunately.
lol! So unless we agree with you, we support genocide?
Is that your conclusion? Not that supporting a candidate aiding in a genocide in the middle east, is supporting genocide?
Lol.
Most people here are voting for Biden, who is currently aiding a genocide, and structured arms deals to Israel in such a way to avoid congressional oversight, so why would I care about their conclusions?
What's our other choice? More genocide and Ukraine falling as well.
You don't get a choice. I'm sorry if that was unclear.
This just in, disapproving of others distorting facts means you support a genocide.
You guys will really shoehorn that in anywhere, huh?
Genocide Joe thanks you for your support, Corn Pop.
Trump thanks you for yours.
Trump should have been hanged for treason, but you can buy your way to the presidency instead LOL.
I guess keep supporting treason then
Maybe if I lived in your country, you'd almost have a point. Keep supporting that genocide though, I'm sure showing unwavering support for a political party that's rapidly shifting right will have no long term consequences. No siree, smooth sailing after this 1 genocide.
You might just!
Keep supporting treason. I'm sure showing unwavering support for a political party that's already shifted far to the right will have no long term consequences.
Wut
What part are you having trouble with?
Oh you think I'm lying about not being in the US?
I'm Canadian. I live in Canada. I think we should sanction Biden.
No, I don't think you're lying about not being in the US.
You said you don't live in my country. How do you know that?
My apologies, I assumed your rabid support for a genocidal geriatric was because you were American.
Why do you have rabid support for a genocidal geriatric if you don't live there?
Why do you have rabid support for treason if you don't live there?
If me saying trump should have been hanged for treason is support, then you're too far gone to be reached.
If me calling out misrepresentation of information means I support genocide, then you're too far gone to be reached.
i think it's spelled "canadia"
Lol
