    I don’t need perfect, but I want a candidate that’s pretty solidly against genocide.

    But too tough for her though.

      Biden tried to broker peace, withheld large bombs that Israel had already paid for. Trump and other GOP candidates are favored by Israel, explicitly endorsed by Netanyahu.

      If you care about Palestinians then you should endorse Kamala and whoever else the DNC candidates are, because the alternative is worse.

        I’d rather the democratic party decide genocide is bad actually than blame the people who chose not to vote for people who aren’t against genocide.

          The DNC have never supported Genocide. Biden tried to broker peace, withheld ordinance. He did not do enough, that is true, but the GOP explicitly do support actual genocide and by not supporting the DNC you’ve enabled the genocide.

            He didn’t actually try though, is the thing. If he was trying, he would’ve actually withheld all of the war supplies the US is providing to Israel. He didn’t.

            The DNC actively supports genocide and attacked the people who didn’t. They are a party of genocide. Simple as.

              You’re claiming the guy who withheld bombs and swore at his longest ally over the phone wanted the eradication of Palestinian people, but it just doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. Every Biden official’s stance was to negotiate peace. The emergency humanitarian aid mission and construction of a giant flotilla was the largest in US history.

              Tanks hit the ground in Gaza and West Bank for the first time in over a decade after Trump was reelected. All aid into Gaza stopped for two months, remains sharply decreased. Pete Hegseth has openly said death or exodus are the options for Palestine. Neither party’s constituency approve of Israel’s actions.

              Why would Biden do all that for the theatrics? It makes no sense. A pro-genocide actor would not have done so much to stop it.

                Biden was like please do not use those big bombs, just use more smaller bombs to exterminate Palestinians. He bypassed the congress twice and also gave 14 billions to Israel to continue the genocide. He claimed to want a cease fire but he knew the problem was Israel yet he blamed it on Hamas

                  You didnt answer my question. Why would he claim to want a ceasefire? Why would he limit Israel’s war supplies? Why would he feed Palestinians?

                  Trump isn’t doing any of those things and hes still unaccountable, so why would Biden give a shit, either?

                    He want to claim to want a cease fire because he is an hypocrite . Hamas demands was so simple, the end of the genocide, Israel returning some of the Palestinians hostages in exchange of returning all the Israeli hostages yet Israel continued the genocide and Biden blamed Hamas knowing very well the problem is Israel.

                    All the reputable human rights orgs and UN entity said that there is not enough food entering Gaza during Biden

                    He didn’t limit Israel’s weapons either, he withheld some then gives billions to Israel in weapons and aids. If I gives you 100$ then I take back 50$ then gives you additional 1000$ I didn’t withhold anything for you in fact I increased my aid to you .

                    You know very well that but you just blinded by your cult like people who voted for Trump

                    Trump isn’t doing any of those things and hes still unaccountable

                    When did it ever happen for an American president was held accountable. I wish that every single goddamn president who gives billions to Israel to be hang including Trump but no Trump will not even go to jail for pedophilia
