Personally, i'm worried that the biden administration is underestimating the electoral importance of his decision to continue supporting Israel's genocide against Palestinians.
Yup. (I was just mirroring Bernie's verbiage and flipping the active subject)
Biden is the quintessential capital-L Liberal: he is performatively responsive to progressive issues, but only insofar as it does not alter the fundamental power structures of the western capitalistic and chauvinistic principles.
Because the US still greatly supports Israel over the alternatives. Terminally online people don't understand at all what is going on because of their self-imposed echo chambers. A quick look at pew polls show that the US populace still largely supports Israel much more than even the Palestine people.
It is funny how quick far-leftists will abandon trans/gay people though. Just a little bit ago they were saying that righties were trying to genocide lgbt peoples and suddenly they don't care. "I dislike how Biden is handling this which is why ill let an open facist win and finally put the nail in the coffin of my lgbt friends. YAY PALESTINE IS SAVED NOW THAT TRUMP IS GIVING ISRAEL THE ALL GREEN TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. GOOD JOB PATRICK WE SAVED PALESTINE!
Edit: Also funny how they also support the group actually genociding lgbt peoples. It often feels that lgbt peoples to leftist are just a tool.
If you are worried about the Palestinians, do you expect Trump to be more lenient in that regard? I think it would be even worse with Trump. He'd not be mildly criticizing Netanyahu, but would rather asking Netanyahu why he isn't going further
No, which is why I'm all the more worried Biden will lose because he refuses to see reason.
Yeah well can't always help that a huge percentage of American voters are absolute dipshits
Everyone believes they're the exception.
Stop blaming the voters and start blaming the politicians who are supposed to be representing them.
But as someone who doesn't have to live in the hellhole called the US, sees that they are represented by their own politicians accurately. The US let it come this far because the US decided to perpetuate a system that just makes everything worse due to lesser evil politics. So by USean logic, voting Biden prevents worse things from happening to Palestinians compared to Trump. But I personally would vote for someone who accurately represents my stances instead of buying into the lesser evilism in a messed up system.
Well our country is better than your country because I said so.
