Because he is the poster child of conserving the Reagan-enshittified status quo, and the US administration is attempting to continue keeping a leg up on the cold war it desperately wants to continue.

I don't know. Why does Trump support it even more strongly?

[–] SquirtleHermit@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago

Because Trump's a piece of shit.

I'd go so far as to say anyone who supports genocide is a piece of shit.

Butterymales vibes.

Also, Trump isn't the President. So whatever he may, or may not do, is hypothetical... It's also irrelevant to what Biden is actually doing...you know, because he's the current president....

I know. The concern is just that people will run from Biden to someone even worse, not realizing he is even more extreme in his support for Netanyahu. So it seems worth mentioning. I know there's no ready answer. The electoral system leaves Americans no good options.

In the tech industry, when a system doesn't work and can't be fixed we throw it out and start over.

I'm also in the tech industry and that's not my experience.

Better question, how much worse will it be if Trump is elected?

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How come we aren't allowed to discuss how bad Biden is being over this without people just saying 'Trump is worse.' You can discuss one without bringing up the other. A condemnation of Biden is not supporting Trump. Nobody here was saying lets not vote for Biden. I am voting for him because obviously Trump is worse. But that is literally the only defense of Biden when it comes to all this. "Trump would supply even more bombs to blow up children with."

That's literally whats just happened. Those are most likely bombs paid for with my tax dollars and so many of Biden's cultists refuse to allow you to criticize him.

The problem is it's been co-opted by Trumpers, Russian bots/influence and right wing nuts.

So unless a comment carries an explicit statement of something along the lines of "Still going to vote for him", I will treat such comments as simply another attempt to dissuade Biden voters to get Trump in office

Gotcha. Ok so we got that out of the way. Why does Biden support genocide?

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

As far as i can tell, Biden is historically pro isreal. Openly refers to himself as a zionist. His religion demands that isreal gains power in order to attempt to make the bible only embarrassingly incorrect. His parents instilled in him that due to WWII the Jews are justified in taking the land and this includes their current encroachment. He has been the main and highest paid donar recipient of pro isreal groups for his 5 decades in politics . Changing course now would force a critical evaluation of his 5 decades of blindly giving unwavering support to Israel and recognition that Palestinians are people. Also the US has made enemies of everyone in the region, and Israel gives us a “foot hold” there.

All this makes the finding of a genocide a mere consideration for his polling numbers.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

That sounds about right. So thats what we are left with. Vote for geocide or mass genocide in November.

Do you want 50 blown up kids or 150? Vote now!

It boggles my mind that you can type out "I've already decided everyone who disagrees with me is faking it" and still think of yourselves as reasonable.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Pledge your loyalty to Biden then you are allowed to criticize him.

According toReuters, "two children were among the dead laid out" at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital following Thursday's strike. Mourners told the outlet that "the children had been killed along with their mother."

"This is not war, it is destruction that words are unable to express," said Abu Mohammed Abu Saif, **the father of the two children. **

This man just lost his wife and 2 kids. That must be unbearable.
