Maybe you can just conveniently silence the part of your brain that says that you're backing someone supporting a genocide - or maybe that part of your brain just doesn't scream as loudly as mine does - but I know for a fact that I wouldn't ever be able to stop hating myself if I went out of my way to show support for someone as despicable as Biden.
So what's your solution? Let me correct that, what's your viable solution?
Seriously, put a viable, can take the seat, and enough of the congressional seats to push us to not trump and you have my vote.
Oh wait, instead of getting out to organize, you're on the internet supporting the empty platitudes that will elect a man who is the same president who put Isreal in Jerusalem.
For someone against genocide, you're doing nothing to prevent it beyond helping the person who is objectively worse for Gaza. The man who entertained kissenger, who destroyed the deal with Iran that might've given us leverage against Israel, the man who idolized world dictators, who spoke favorably of Netanyahu.
Your words on the interbet mean nothing if you're not out trying to build the better party in our imperfect system.
When he's elected, and Netanyahu is given full unwavering support, you'll have no one but yourself but to blame. Biden has made small but significant steps in pushing 70 years of international policy away from blind, unwavering support. Without congress there's literally only so much he can do with it only ally in the middle east. All of that disappears as fast as the nuclear deal with Iran, when you help elect the guy who actually does support genocide. The same man who actively passed multiple Muslim ban initiatives.
You should be skeptical of the assertion that the Biden administration is impotent to stop Israel in its campaign against the Palestinian people. The office of the US presidency has laws, powers, and policies available at its disposable enumerated by the budget, existing federal law, and the constitution to determine foreign policy without input or obstruction by Congress. You should research what can the administration do to prevent genocide by its ally versus what Joseph Biden himself, and his colleagues are willing to do.
You don't have to make excuses for these people. They are not acting in good faith.
The powers that President of the United States wields is nigh-omnipotent in foreign policy. For example, President Biden can abide by the Leahy Laws, declaring what Israel is doing a genocide. Instead, the Biden administration chooses to ignore the law - and therefore breaking federal law - to keep financing and arming Israel's genocidal campaign against Palestinians.
