The administration claimed that blocking arms transfers would embolden Hamas — ignoring Israel’s genocidal slaughter.

Even after Israel treated Biden like shit for four years in response to unquestionable support...

Israel backed trump instead and Biden still is fighting his own party on this instead of spending his last few weeks with any power trying to mitigate Trump's incoming damage.

At this point I honestly don't understand how anyone can claim Biden was anything but a waste of four years that was so unproductive it let trump back into the White House.

I don't give two shits if these ultra conservative Dems are slightly better than a republican. I know I can hold my nose, been doing it for a long time.

But not enough other people will.

And yelling at them isn't effective.

So why don't we stop trying to shove neoliberalism down Dem voters throats, and just run a candidate Dem voters already want to vote for over trump without needing a billion dollar campaign funded by everyone causing problems for the American people

He earned the Genocide Joe tag at this point. Hes got nothing to lose but still insists the genocide continues without the least bit of resistance.

[-] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 47 points 1 week ago

but after the election the Democrats are going to be anti genocide. They can't be progressive until after the election because of AIPAC. once the election is over, they're going to do a complete 180 mark my words

"You can push Biden to the left once we win!"

"Murder is bad? Defend Ukraine, not Israel?"

"WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?!"

Could be using his last days on something constructive, or to earn lower and midde class trust back. Instread why not one last war crime for the road.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 39 points 1 week ago

He could be using his king powers granted by the SCOTUS to give minimum wage, the funds he promised, fully cancel student debt, keep queer protections, make abortion legal, or any of the things he said he would do but somehow was always stopped.

But he just keeps giving aid to "Literally Genocide LLC" because who cares, he'll take that AIPAC money and run before the Trump fans start going after him.

For fucks sake. There's fucking arrest warrants and Biden still can't follow our own laws about not sending military aid to war criminals.

Reminder: Biden was an OG neoliberal that helped Republicans convert their former opposition party into the modern hail corporate Democrats,and was a prominent figure in the legislation for waging our draconian and ineffective war on drugs.

Joe Biden was never your friend, he was complicit in changing our national politics to

Capitalist exploitation + rainbow ribbons(D)

Or

Capitalist exploitation + scapegoating(R)

I held my nose and voted for him in 2020, but that's just harm reduction. I'll take a serial killer over a cannibal serial killer that eats your fingers and toes before they kill you type thing.

Remember when people got mad at you for calling him Genocide Joe?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago

They still do. They're just even less justified than they used to be.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

It's like Trump supporters, any facts or evidence can be dismissed with a thought terminating cliche so thoughts slide right off the smooth brained supporters.

"Did Soros pay you?" -> "Did Russia pay you?"

Yep, still have people downvote me when I say Biden is an aid to murder.

[-] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 48 points 1 week ago

Democrats are not a real party, it's just controlled opposition at this point.

[-] NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Pretty much. Most candidates from both parties are bought by AIPAC as well as other lobbies. We have an oligarchy.

He had the smallest chance to claim he didnt do it before because he wanted to make sure trump doesnt win. Now he makes sure he raise up for the Genocide Joe title.

80% are women and children.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

The crats are too stupid to see thats why people stayed at home instead of voting for harris.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago

Pure idiocy at this point.

[-] shikitohno@lemm.ee 27 points 1 week ago

Shocking absolutely nobody, there's a deafening silence from the blue MAGA brigade that, pre-election, kept crying about how not supporting Israel 100% would sink the Democrats' chances of winning 100% and that Trump would do oh so much worse. Democrats have already lost the election, and now they double down on a losing policy when they literally have nothing at stake.

The only difference between a Biden and a Trump administration for Palestine is the speed at which things occur. Biden is fundamentally onboard with the same genocidal policies as Trump is willing to support.

Clearly at least some of the Democrats are a Nazi as the Republicans.

It failed on the floor, but got an impressive 18 votes, I think. Done.

All Republicans voted against it.

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 1 week ago

That was guaranteed, the Democrats that voted against it is the important part; these are the people to campaign against and vote out.

But I'd suggest supporting the yay votes, rather than punishing the nays. Those progressive seats are the ones the DNC will try to primary, and they'll need campaign donation help next cycle.

Fucking hate this zionist. Trump is monumentally worse. Kamala would've at least given Palestine aid. I just hate reality so much

The first thing Democrats do when making a firing line is form a circle, and that's by design not incompetence.

[-] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago

That's because Democrats LEARNED their Lessons from losing an Election to a LITERAL NAZI DICTATOR!
