Systemic and unchecked genocide = Biden yes

Defending yourself after your embassy is blown up by an aggressor = Biden no

Fuck Genocide Joe.

EDIT: READ THE SIDEBAR BEFORE COMMENTING HERE

There's now going to be a war against Iran, and the US media is portraying Iran as the aggressor, even though Israel blew up Iran's embassy. THAT should have been a call to end support for the genocidal ethnostate of Israel and call for a ceasefire, but instead we're doubling down on support.

Also, friendly reminder that Israel would not be able to do this without US support. Biden could have ended this, but chose not to.

What is your defense now? How can you still justify supporting this genocidal maniac? How low is too low for you? How much suffering is too much? How many lives have to be ended or destroyed because of Biden? How much is enough that you are willing to protest, speak out against it, or at the very least not defend it in some deranged manner with "aT lEaSt He'S nOt TrUmP." People are dying. Imagine being the caliber of person who can excuse this and say this, or even approve of him and say he's doing well.

Literally the only way to look the other way is by convincing yourself that Iranians and Palestinians aren't really human. "Scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds" -- maaaannnn I used to think this was a bit overstated, but it's really no exaggeration at all, is it?

Edit: Lol at the right-wing neolibs who can't help but parrot their genocide-defending bullshit in spaces where they're not welcome. Thanks for providing examples of exactly what this post is about. Imagine thinking the person who is literally making a genocide possible is also the person who is "best for Palestinians."

...the root cause of shortages of low-cost, off-patent generic drugs is well established. These drugs have razor-thin to non-existent profit margins...

Sounds like a system that prioritizes profit margins over human life needs to be removed.

Capitalism is a death cult.

Reminder that he has threatened Iran because (checks notes) Israel has fucking bombed them and apparently retaliating defensively is wrong, but US funding a genocide is not? Maybe we should fight back against ourselves?

Oh, and so much for upholding the constitution. Wasn't that supposed to be the exact thing we're avoiding by Voting Blue No Matter Who™?

More blood on his hands and more cruelty than the worst serial killer in history, and this raging fascist is the best Democrats have to offer? If you support this guy, you better do some fucking soul searching to learn what the fuck is wrong with you.

So sick of this guy and his fashlib supporters.

In Hawaii, one of the most important sayings is ola i ka wai, "water is life" — a phrase that not only sums up what it means to exist on an island, but what it means to live, period. But now, one of the largest of the island chain's land masses is facing a triple threat to its sole freshwater source, and if it isn't addressed soon, one community member says, "we're in deep trouble."

Despite being surrounded by seemingly endless ocean, freshwater on Oahu, the third-largest of Hawaii's six major islands, is not easily accessible. The island relies on an underground aquifer for its water supply. Replenishing that aquifer is a decades-long natural process, as it takes a single drop of water roughly 25 years to make it there from the sky.

And recent years have seen compounding problems: less rain, leading to significant droughts, and repeated jet fuel leaks and PFAS chemical spills contaminating water systems. All of this significantly limits available water use for locals, many of whom say tourism is only worsening the situation. Just months ago, the world's largest surfing wave pool opened up on the island — filled with freshwater.

I recommended this book in another comment, but I think it's an important book, especially considering how we can often feel isolated and helpless to effect change

I have no delusions of this getting through to the liberal centrists who need to hear it. If being made aware of Israel's atrocities (which the US is making possible) doesn't persuade them, then I don't think this will -- but maybe it will get through to people who have accidentally been propagandized by these centrists.

In case you want to follow that link, here's a link to the original post

they don't think of Palestinians as real people

Reminder that Biden is doing this deliberately to Palestinians. He could stop it, he has the power, but he chooses not to.

What do you support? If this isn't too atrocious for you to (at the bare minimum) speak out against Joe Biden, then nothing is too much for you.

The ‘NYTimes’ is ignoring Israel’s crackdown in the West Bank

You know it's bad when CNN is cited as having more left reporting than NYT. NYT doesn't want to upset their liberal Zionist reader-base.

Insane that people will try to say this is a minority movement. Inspiring news from Wisconsin.

If we get Trump again, thank the Democrats-- don't blame leftists and progressives.
