    No one said anything about not pressuring the guy, but right now isn’t the time to be divisive. The US is literally on the brink of becoming a fascist theocracy, and Biden is the only one who can stop it.

    It sucks that he’s our only option, but that’s life.

    Shit on him all you want after the election, but right now isn’t the time. The alternative is a guy who supports nuking Gaza.

      What pressure are you putting on the guy? Guaranteeing him your vote is the opposite of pressure. It reads as endorsement or at least tacit approval of his policies. Assuming Biden actually cares to win the election, the best thing to do is threaten to withhold your vote. He still has five months to change voters minds. Let him see the polling, let his campaign see the mood on social media. Genocide is a red line, and it’s a low fucking bar.

      It’s never the time, and all criticism is seen as divisive by people who can’t abide critics.

          So, when will it be the time, and what criticism is permitted without you considering it divisive?

            After the election.

            Yes, Biden supporting Israel sucks, but Israel isn’t the biggest issue facing us right now. The existence of our country as we know it depends on the upcoming election.

              You sure?

                Yes, there’s that pesky reading comprehension again. I never said Biden didn’t deserve criticism for his decisions regarding the Israeli genocide. But, he’s literally the only person who can stand in the way of the US becoming a fascist theocracy.

                  You’re deliberately mislabeling skepticism as stupidity.

                    You’re deliberately ignoring the parts of my comment where I have already answered your questions.
