      I’ll never fucking understand it. They claim to care, but he will be substantially worse, and also make their lives directly worse on top of it.

        I get it. Nobody wants to actively vote for a guy supporting genocide. But they need to grow up and realize that if they can’t make a good choice, they need to make the better choice, no matter how much it sucks that we’re at this point.

          One supports it (probably because he can’t please everyone)

          The other would gleefully assist in the genocide

            I think Biden would please a lot more people if he just didn’t pick a side. Nobody I talk to, no matter where on the political spectrum they land, likes him supporting Israel.

              I haven’t heard about this in YEARS but wasn’t there something about us having to support Israel to have a friend in the Middle East?

              Also why haven’t I heard about that in years 🤔

              (For the record, I’m pro-no-more-dead-kids, and anti-famine.)

                I’m not sure if you mean on main stream news or not but I see that sentiment here daily

                  Might need to spend more time on politicalmemes then!

                  Referred to anywhere actually, should’ve mentioned I haven’t been specifically seeking news from the Middle East.

              Sadly the side was chosen before he was even VP. The U.S. has been sending money and weapons for decades.

            Biden is already assisting it.

            And “he can’t please everyone” is not a good excuse for it.

          If you don’t want to actively vote for a guy supporting genocide, then exercise your right to not do that by picking a third party candidate that best aligns with your interests and vote for them. Disparaging the people whose votes you absolutely have to have isn’t going to persuade them to vote for the person you’re voting for. Just makes you look silly.

        It’s the Bernie Bros all over again. No need to bother they’re almost as cultish as maga
