It's funny that leftists call him genocide joe when Trump would be actively worse and offer additional manpower.

Complain and downvote how you like, but consider which candidate you actually have a chance of getting to agree to your point of view.

Just because trump is an infinitely low bar doesn’t mean Biden isn’t actively supporting genocide.

I’m sick of seeing “But Trump is worse!!!!!1!” whenever there is a discussion of how fucking terrible Biden can be, especially on his candid genocide support. And the cries from the Democratic party to fall in line behind a president that is failing to support the will of the people in that party is a bit shitty, even though it is inevitable in such a hierarchical power structure.

Like, the problem isn’t “who would support genocide less” it is “why the fuck is the president supporting genocide” and the other question we should be asking is “what is causing us to be in the position that we are debating on who is the lesser evil pro genocide candidate”

Also, I’d like to point out that biden is a hardcore zionist. He will never not be a hardcore zionist. He will never be convinced to stop supporting israel, and we will lucky to even convince him to stop supporting israel until the genocide stops. Or to just call for a ceasefire now.

First pass the post says a vote for anyone other than Biden is a vote for Trump. Sadly that’s how the system works. You need preferential voting to send a message of displeasure.

You do not understand how the US primary system works.

This was not the general election vote where Biden will face a fascist.

This was a 2nd term president democratic primary, which the incumbent almost always sweeps. This allows for protest voting with no actual repercussions like fascists winning.

They are protesting the active genocide of the Palestinian people, it is worth the effort to try to enact change which no downsides.
