He's outraged that it's public and he has to talk about it.

In his day you could slaughter thousands and there was nobody to record it.

Fuck Israel.

[-] krolden@lemmy.ml 29 points 7 months ago

He's outraged over his last poll numbers

If we lose our democracy, it's because Biden threw it away.

how dare you move the goalpost by wanting him to do action not just say a phrase

[-] go_go_gadget@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

Exactly. I totally remember all those leftists saying they would be happy if Biden just offered stern warnings. /s

No! You are killing the wrong guys! I am so mad right now.

But let's look at this as a teachable moment, here's some more weapons, now try and hit the right guys.

Biden is nothing but a disgusting politician. He has the ability to end the genocide. Right now. Instead, he's trying to find the right balance between outright stopping the genocide and slapping Israel on the wrist that turns his fucking polls around.

If Biden loses to Trump, it will be because Biden threw away what should be an easy victory.

Biden will do everything up to, but not including, standing up to the military industrial complex to help the people of Gaza.

AIPAC has a lot to do with it, it's not just the MIC (this time).

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah, if it was just the military industrial complex driving this, they'd be pushing Ukraine aid too

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

That additional $1.4m hes received since January may have helped in getting more weapons and hollow platitudes

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

It took the deaths of 7 white people to get him 'outraged?'

Moderates and liberals picked a loser of a candidate in the 2020 primaries.
