just noticing a lot of very principle anti-genocidists very suddenly changing their focus, it is almost as if some pattern can be discerned through ignoring their statements and watching their behavior

    It is a more palpable talking point to the more center leaning Democrats. Some people can convince themselves Biden did not have a hand in the Gaza genocide, but cannot deny the debate we all just saw. I am going to vote in a way that will deny Trump a win, but also I can acknowledge that Biden is an extremely weak choice for the primary Democratic candidate.

      Exactly. Biden was “geriatric Joe” well before genocide Joe. Before that there was a pointed catchphrase that had to do with busing (legitemately can’t remember what it was, if anyone can help me out).

      Biden has basically always been a conservative. Literally it doesn’t matter what your position is, I hope everyone reading this can recognize that if you’re calling anti-genocide folk out for “switching up” over this debate, it probably means you haven’t been paying attention for the last… 81 years.

      With all the things Joe accomplished in the last 4 years, he isn’t as weak of a choice as one might think.

        To be honest, I don’t think the policies and actions Biden’s cabinet made outweigh the fact that he directly signed off on the continuation of the genocide in Gaza. But that is just my opinion.
