Personally, Gaza and his anti-railway workers union action was enough to destroy any credibility he had so far.

    The word you’re looking for is “enabling”, as in “Joe is enabling the genocide of Palestinians less than Trump would”.

    Also you need something to back up the claim.

        Nigga the point is both sides are doing the same shit so why vote for either? Jesus man

                between the options I have

                There are third parties who do not endorse genocide, if you are twisting yourself in circles to justify voting for genocide then I do not respect you or anything you claim to stand for, and you are my enemy.

                    I don’t support genocide so I won’t support Joe Biden: Twisting, winding, complicated path.

                    I don’t support genocide which is why I vote for Joe Biden the genocide because he’s going to maybe commit less genocide than another candidate and also by voting for and thereby normalising genocide I’ll be shifting the overton window left somehow, and it’s really important we do that because then in a few elections time I might be able to vote for a democrat who isn’t pro-genocide: Straightforward, simple path

        when he threatened to pause

        So… I’m not hearing that he actually paused, or even reduced, the weapon shipments here, which kinda means you’re still just assuring us that trump would definitely be way worse.

            But let me know where you want the goalposts next.

            Shut your reddittoid debatelord fuck hole you little pissweasel, I haven’t moved a single goalpost - I asked for evidence Trump would be worse, and you failed to provide that, so I asked follow up questions so your ignorant ass could find a better way to make your point.

            Also, you do know about the result of that aid pause, right? Israel invaded Rafah anyway and Joe backed down like a good imperialist dog. Holding back some bombs for a little while didn’t slow the genocide in the slightest, it just meant their stockpiles didn’t get replenished quite so quickly. Like sure, technically you fulfilled your own conditions of showing Biden paused the shipments, but the goalposts I set at the start were Biden enabling the genocide less than Trump (hypothetically) would. If the pause not only has no effect on the genocide, but ends up being backtracked on, can you really say that he’s enabling them less than Trump would? Sure the schedule’s not the same, but the effects are.
