    If and when Biden deals with Gaza, everyone with this mindset immediately needs to turn around and start sucking off Biden with previously unseen vigor and determination, otherwise this is only going to damage his chance of being elected.

    There’s tens of thousands of mostly children dead, and Israel is using famine and disease to wipe out the rest, no shit it damages Biden’s chances if his actions come this late. Especially if Biden’s answer to Gaza is ship Israel weapons more quietly while claiming to hold up shipments, while Israel starves Gaza out.

    Then again, if Biden stops the money and arms to Israel, and sanctions Israel, and Trump responds by promising money and arms to Israel so they can resume the genocide, I don’t see how anyone could not vote Biden.

      Totally agree, he’s already damaging his own reputation, which is why the “do not vote for Biden” game can even be played.

      I’m just far more terrified of what Trump will do to Gaza, and Biden is just the lesser of two evils

        What more can be done? We are already sending 100% of the weapons, money, and diplomatic support Israel needs. We’re already bombing Yemen for taking actions to stop Israel and shooting down Iranian drones trying to stop them. Is Trump going to do the same thing, but be proud of it? Shit I can’t even say that, Biden is extremely proud of his support for Israel. Trump is simply going to be more obnoxious about it.

        Lesser evilism isn’t gonna win an election when your lesser evil is already genocide.

          The US has nukes, and much bigger traditional ballistics than what’s currently being sent.

          If Biden really really wanted to, Gaza wouldn’t exist anymore

            Israel has nukes. They’re not using them, or chemical weapons because it would be sanctioned to an extent that even the US couldn’t help them.

            Israel actions are not limited by the size of the bombs they’re being given.
