huh, we wasn't cynically posturing for election purposes, he really wants to die on this hill :/
He pretty much did already.
He'll not be remembered kindly by history for this. Even if he was objectively decent president.
Sad but true. I really don't understand why he is so adamant in his support for Netanyahu.
Because he's a true believer who's drunk the Zionism kool-aid.
Plus it probably helps that he's received more money from AIPAC throughout his political career than his current net worth.
Because it's self serving.
If Bibi is a war criminal for leveraging an admittedly horrible terrorist attack to commit horrendous atrocities, so is Joe Biden.
What the US did in the 2 decades post 9/11 is no better or worse than what Israel is doing now. Accountability for one means accountability for the other, and Biden doesn't want to be held accountable.
What the US did in Iraq and Afghanistan was wrong, no doubt. There's a lot of reasons for that, ranging from who was actually responsible for 9/11 to all the actual violence between the civilians and soldiers. But systematic extermination is NOT one of those reasons. What Israel is doing in Gaza is 1000x worse. Equating it to how the US conducted its affairs minimizes what's actually happening, muddying the water and keeping people from feeling like they should actually be doing anything about it.
Fuck you, Biden. Shit like this is what just opened the door to Project 2025.
Nope, they lost because they blindly support the billionaires over everyday people. Israel is a tiny symptom of the real problem, which is the concentration of wealth.
They bailed out the teamsters pension fund and had to fight Republicans tooth and nail to do it — didnt even result in am endorsement and majority of teamsters still voted GOP.
CHIP act made Arizona flush with manufacturing and construction jobs, still voted GOP.
The reason Democrats lose is because they have to campaign against a made-up Republican that is normal and reasonable and Republicans get to campaign against the Oberlin faculty lounge instead of Democrats
Yet they never tackled the monopolies in the healthcare, food and housing industries responsible for the cost of living crisis, which cost them the election.
Crumbs will not be tolerated any longer. Universal Health, Universal Education, Universal Housing. What people want is clear. The message could not have been any louder. They have trouble feeding their family, and Biden is busy taking victory laps whining about why people can't see what a good job he's done. While rent and food are doubling for the large knot of Americans stuck in the 35-40k dollar income segment.
They don't want to hear excuses, and they don't want crumbs. Politicians have the power to knock down any and all barriers to re-aligning the economy. Instead the democrats chose to play to the upper middle class, and donors. They went sharp right and only announced progressive policies when they were losing ground in the polls. People noticed that and knew those promises were as good as Biden's. (toilet paper)
He welcomes Trump with open arms, and acts like a lame duck. But can still get fired up to defend war criminals and try to stop Bernie’s move to block arms shipments. I don’t even know what to say.
Maybe I'm soft but I find the dead and starving children to be slightly more outrageous
How anti-semitic!

"Were there not an Israel, the United States would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region."
-- Joe Biden
Israel is good for 2 things, as far as 60% of Congress is concerned: destabilizing Muslim countries to prevent a strong coalition from forming, and donating money to US politicians. What's a little genocide in the face of that?
That's far too generous. At the very most, 10% of congress is on the right side of history when it comes to America's favorite fascist apartheid regime.
The public in general is closer to 65-35 the opposite direction.
That may be true, but only 60% of congress is receiving Israeli bribes. Hence the number I chose.
He's at the end of his career, doesn't need the money to fight the zionists propaganda, so that means he actually believes this.
OR like I suspected before, Israel houses A LOT of secret US intelligence and defense capabilities
Outrageous! How the fuck are we supposed to murder, rob, subjugate, steal, and run our modern-day slave empires if the ICC can just go and arrest people all willy-nilly and shit?
Fuck me, that's some selective outrage there.
And this is why you lost the election. You never fucking learn, do you?
He, Hillary, and Pelosi need to retire and enjoy doing something else than screwing up with America
And yet the voters keep getting the blame for Trump getting elected.
As well they fucking should. Trump isn't going to be any better for the Palestinian people than Biden and Harris. He is, in fact, going to be far worse for them. Also, he's a traitor, a serial rapist, a misogynist, a pedophile, a grifter, and an imbecile. The American voting population either liked what they saw, or didn't care enough to vote against him. Fuck every single one of those assholes right in the face.
So what is Donny going to do worse? Complete the genocide faster?
Because Biden, Harris and the DNC have made it abundantly clear that they support the genocide and total annihilation of all Palestinians and to erase any last bit of Palestine from the Maps. They just wanted it to happen at a pace that allows to pretend not being white supremacist mass murderers to continue getting the votes of the minorities in the US.
The Dems need to be punished over this until they remove the genocidal white supremacists from their ranks.
That is the only way to create a political momentum to get a non genocidal political option in the US
Then let me ask you this: What did the democrats promised? That they're not Trump?
Most people look back at what Biden did, and saw nothing much. Some people stuck on the huricane saw they weren't getting the help they need. Meanwhile, the saw on the news some foreign countries they've never set their feet on getting all the money that could've been used for their people.
DNC is basically playing chicken with their supporter on the Palestine issue. "Yes, we're gonna let babies fly headless, but guess what, either us or that orange criminal!" Guess how that turned out. You're gonna complain about how Trump is gonna end this quicker. How is it worse exactly if they're gonna face the same fate in the end?
Meanwhile, Trump promised a strong arm approach to all the economic problem. A lot of people are desperate with their financial situation.
All that far-right policies are getting fanatical support. Meanwhile, the DNC were losing support as they tried to compromise with the right-wing ideologies.
Oh, and don't forget they would've had better chance with Sanders, but instead they went with Harris. The best she could do was play with women right.
But yeah, the voters suck!
I mean, they're just gonna go from genocide Joe to genocide convicted criminal Donald so not much of an upgrade there.
Genocide Joe vs ultra genocide Trump, great job voters.
Doesn’t really matter what he thinks, since the US ain’t part of the ICC. What’s pathetic is countries being part of the ICC, condemning the arrest warrants.
We know what you think genocide Joe.
dude how about you go and personally strangle Palestinian kids yourself? just get it out of your system, you petrified leather demon.
Fuck you Joe Biden for sending my country off a cliff all because facilitating a genocide was more important to you than providing my generation a future.
please die together with Trump and Putin
Joe Biden is literally the Grandpa in the joke "Grandpa died peacefully in his sleep. Everyone else on the bus he was driving died screaming." Grandpa needs to just shut the fuck up and go away already.
Hey, Joe: Shut up, man.
He's mad because there isn't one for him too. They should get working on that.
Honestly fuck joe biden, I hope he falls down some stairs
Fuck this
LOL earlier he said he disagreed wjth it but it was deserved. Two-faced old bastard.
I hate to say it but this is one of many reasons a good portion of the non voting left voted for Trump by not voting.
no shame
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
