No matter how shitty you think Biden's response has been, it is absolutely certain that Trump's response will be far, far worse.

Would you rather elect Republicans who think Palestinians children are “not so innocent”?

Both parties are beholden to the Israel lobby, but we need to push for change, and this sort of post encourages apathy.

This isn't apathy. Apathy would be quietly sitting in the corner, taking it, without so much as a peep. Seems to me that the apathy is with y'all that continue to vote in elections that you don't ultimately decide. Hillary win the pop vote, trump still won. Biden hasn't reversed any of trumps immigration policies, among other things also left unaddressed. He fucked over the rail workers when they were striking for ONE FUCKING WEEK off sick pay. They are the "backbone of America" but we can't give them that respect and dignity, just so railway owners can rake in profits and a strike breaking president can declare worker organization illegal? His failure in both Palestine and East Palestine are just the tipping point to this rug pull of an administration.

I mean if the Democrats thought Palestinian children were innocent they'd probably do more to stop the killing.

Both parties are beholden to the Israel lobby, but we need to push for change, and this sort of post encourages apathy.

Or how about we call out the Democrats on their bullshit and push them to make changes now instead of after an election.

"But the Republicans are worse!" is such a cheap cop out.

Leftists and progressives (in America) don't get to vote for anyone we want. We vote strategically for who makes the best opposition to us: the right-leaning centrist or the fascist dictator.

Or as I like to say, don't let the perfect be the ~~enemy of the good~~ enabler of the what the actual fuck.

Well, by then Israel is supposed to have completed its ~~genocide~~ defense, which means there won't be a Palestinian crisis anymore. It's a final solution!

Be warned, weary traveler. For in this thread lies such deceipt and misinformation that your braincells will commit ritual suicide one-by-one upon its traversal.

Nope. This is 100% projection.

This is absolutely going to be the gEnoCidE jOe bros. Just like the Bernie bros in 2016, and again in 2020- they’ll become vapor the moment the election is over and they’ll resurface in 2028 to complain about whatever manufactured nonsense they can drum up.

But don’t let this get in the way of your right-wing propaganda dressed up as socialist rhetoric.

Can't wait for this election to be over so I can stop seeing people post about how they "totally care about the genocide bro. I swear it isn't a thinly veiled political campaign spot."

The genocide sucks (all of em) and nobody supports it.
