At least he didn't invite Hamas to the WH or Camp David like the Taliban was invited. 🤷♂️
He has to condemn the killing of kids, do I even have to say that....sad.
Yes, you do have to say that. Everyday. Loudly and repeatedly.
Wow, this will lead to a huge bump in his primary opponents polling. What? He doesn't have any? Well, then why the fuck would Biden care what democratic voters think? All he has to do is be to the left of whomever the Republicans nominate after Trump is thrown in jail.
Depresses voter turnout in the general.
Its a failure of communications. A ceasefire without the return of hostages means that hezbollah strikes, the middle east erupts into war, and Gaza gets leveled by Iran. So a humanitarian pause is much more appropriate if you are trying to prevent palestinians from being killed. Theh have done a very poor job of communicating that.
This assumes that everyone actually goes to vote.
If someone is disillusioned, they may sit out that vote. I know I've heard a few republicans basically say "I can't vote for Trump, but I certainly can't vote for a democrat, so I'll just leave that one blank". This could be a similar situation here, that folks disheartened by support given to a country going too far in a military response and unable to vote for it with a clear conscience.
Logically, one would realize the alternative is even worse and vote for lesser of evils, but some folks don't vote that way.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
