If you're angry that Joe Biden has Genocide attached to his name, maybe push him to stop being an active part of it. It also doesn't help Biden isn't offering any message of hope. It is just once again I'm not the other guy. It is more effective to give people things to vote for than against.
I put together a short list of the unprecedented things Biden has done domestically that make him a good choice to lead the country, although "not the end of democracy" would be a good enough reason to vote for him over Trump anyway.
I can only speak for myself, but I'm just as disgusted that he's enabling genocide in Gaza as most people. I carry a certain amount of hope that he's going to stop, and I'm extremely in favor of the Ukraine and Israel aid bills being brought up as separate bills as they are now being brought up as. But let's see what the historically-Israel-supporting-no-matter-what rich fucks in congress do with it.
Trump declared he would finish the job, as in complete the genocide, so I hope you won't help that happen. At least Biden is trying to give some relief to Palestinians. Being on Israel's side is US policy: they are our ally, for better or worse, for good or bad reasons. Personally, I think we should drop or reduce that alliance, but I'm not in charge.
