It's endlessly frustrating to see people not understand that Presidents aren't God-Kings that can issue creeds by the wave of their hand. Biden actually could stop gifts of cash and weapons to the Israeli government with a wave of his hand. That's a thing he has the power to do as president. You may think he shouldn't do it (which is a fucking weird opinion in itself - especially given that doing it would help him get reelected, keep Trump out and preserve some hope of restoring abortion rights, which I think is kind of important - but you're entitled to weird opinions), but you can't get away with pretending he can't. --- Re-open board 261. ...

lmao the arguments are literally the fucking same almost word for word it's like they're bots. Maybe they are.It's like they happily ignore the dead even split in the senate and the current slight rep majority in the house(?) to try to blame things not happening on Biden despite the obstructionist assholes blocking everything they can. And we can all bet good money on what their response would be if Biden just threw out the rules and went iron fist to force the changes they claim to want. Umbreon posted... "Why didn't you save us from ourselves?!"I'd almost say it's closer to the usual "Why aren't you fixing the problems fast enough?!" while ignorant at best as to how the system works and maliciously disingenuous at worst.

Abstaining does nothing for the situation you claim to care about and one result is worse for that situation. If your "solution" is to still shrug and do nothing to prevent the worse case scenario then you actually don't care about that situation and instead want to use it as a reason to claim morality while doing nothing.

People should be criticising Biden for continuing to arm and fund Israel and putting political pressure on him to stop, not only because it's a bad thing in itself but because stopping it would help him get reelected.

No one in these topics ever, despite repeatedly being challenged to do so, explains why Biden arming and funding a genocide will help, rather than hinder, his reelection prospects. It has been explained, actually. Many times, in fact. If Biden supports Israel, he's going to lose pro-Palestine votes. If he cuts Israel off, he's going to lose pro-Israel votes. Not all Zionists vote Republican. Ergo, "this is a badly informed opinion." Thanatos_the_Great posted...

Taxes don't just pay for genocide. There's many social safety nets in the United States. So is your argument here also that Biden is all genocide all the time or do you feel he is also engaging in other things like social safety nets? By the way, I have a friend whose father wrote a letter in response to the Vietnam draft card he got that said "come and arrest me because I'd rather go to jail." He didn't flee the country or anything, just told the draft department to fuck off. So you always have that option you know.

I will vote for literally anyone you put in front of me if they are less bad than Trump. Actual good people, actual moral people, understand harm mitigation and aren't going to look at the only two realistic options they have, recognize one is objectively far worse, and go "Why shouldn't I cut off my nose if the other side isn't doing anything to earn my vote beyond keeping my nose on my face?
