    Biden and Harris’s support of Isreal was within reasonable bounds even if you think they should have been more/less heavy handed. Harris was pushing for resolution, more aid, restrictions on munitions and withholding operations until civilians had been evacuated.

    Trumps support of isreal was and still is deranged. He was talking about turning gaza to glass, moving them “somewhere else”, letting a far right hardliner do whatever he wants.

    If you were drawing that equivalent then you must be over the moon because you got exactly what you wanted. The destruction and death of hundreds of thousands of peoples lives.

      That’s not what I remember. I remember essentially watching Biden and Harris push for policies that were essentially allowing the genocide to continue.

      If you’re running for president and you are pro-genocide, then you deserve to lose. You’re just a horrible person who doesn’t deserve the job. And if the Democrats can’t find someone who’s anti-genocide to run for president, then the party has no future and it doesn’t deserve one.

        Biden literally sidestepped congress to personally ensure Israel got more weapons, twice!

        I dont think that lines up with the reality of their positions and actions. Its very likely your view of what was actually being presented was filtered through the layer of news you consume. By the sounds of it you consume a lot of tankieLite news which was pushing as hard as possible to make sure the dems didnt win. The genocide joe name exclusively comes from them. That kind of news is as bad as far right news if you actually want progressive policy implemented.

      um no, not even close to reasonable bounds. We were funding genocide with our tax money and running political interference at the UN. Now we have blood on our hands because our leaders dont have the stones to do whats clearly the right thing-- all for some effing campaign checks… They also broke numerous US laws too. They belong in prison along with Trump.
