    Yeah, we should let Joe do genocide because if we don’t, Trump will do genocide 😢

    Pathetic.

        Obviously Trump would be much worse. No sane person would say otherwise, and I do object to his campaign.

        The point is, Biden has always, and continues to support the apartheid and slaughter of countless Palestinians. This cannot be ignored.

        Right now, Biden is in office and is signing bills to send bombs to Israel which will be used to kill Palestinian families.

        These protests are an effort to end such policies, and reduce funding to companies who participate in the genocide.

        The protests are an effort to force Biden to make an effort to end this tragedy.

          You guys will protest your way to a Trump presidency like a bunch of fools. Happens every 4 years, the rubes fall for the third party push.

            If the democrats would stop supporting genocide then this wouldn’t be an issue

      Yes. Exactly. Because while Joe might do genocide there, Trump will do genocide here.

      Or would you prefer to sacrifice your trans neighbors for your righteousness?

        I don’t think you understand what protests are. Protests exist to influence policy. If Mr. Joe wants votes, change policy, get votes. It really is simple!

        Remind me how Mr. Joe is protecting trans people down in the southern states?

          The president can say “Hey Congress, can you make this bill?” but Congress has no obligation to listen to him. Unless trans rights are being violated specifically by executive agencies, the president’s influence is pretty limited.

          It’s different with Isreal, in that Biden has to approve foreign aid bills made by Congress, he himself expresses support for aid to Isreal, and he has the power to make treaties (as long as Congress approves them)

          Is the president a king? Can he unilaterally decide policies and enforce them on states? Where did you get your education? North Korea?

            Our well-meaning but powerless leader, their iron-handed despotic tyrant,

              Our government does not give him the power. I’m taking a class on the US government right now and this is literally just how it works. We give that power to congress and the states, and we can’t really change that without a constitutional amendment. This is with regards to trans rights in the south, he does actually have some more power when it comes to Israel.
