    Sure looks to me like you’re more upset at people who want Biden to stop supporting genocide than you are at Biden for supporting genocide. At least in this thread.

    I associate that with centrists.

      I’m annoyed that people want to ignore/downplay the danger of having donnie in office.

      The choices are: Biden or Trump. That’s it.

      Donnie is most likely going to be far worse for Gaza AND for us. Not only will there be genocide in Gaza, there is danger of that coming to our shores under donnie. I’d rather have a right-leaning centrist like Biden in office if the only alternative is donnie (and that is the only alternative).

      And I’ve always detested our special relationship with Israel when it comes to them buying our politicians, who then send untold amounts of money to Israel to maintain a decades-long open-air prison, and to add salt in the wound, a compliant media that was calling everyone who pointed out how ridiculous and immoral that was an “antisemite”. This notion that only one country cannot have its policies questioned is absurd. For a long time, it was both U.S. and Israel that were in that category - in U.S. media, anyway. Then it became feasible to start questioning U.S. foreign policy, but not Israel’s. I think that is breaking down, now, too, thankfully. Unfortunately, lots of tankie idiots and agent provocateurs are likely to ruin that, not to mention the overreaction from campus leadership and so on…

        Then Biden should stop supporting the genocide that all centrists have always wanted. Since centrists LOVE genocide, since it’s the ONLY policy they don’t abandon when they encounter opposition, they have to be like “buh whubbut trump?” Whenever anyone who isn’t a morally reprehensible piece of pro-genocide shit says that BIDEN. SHOULD. STOP. SUPPORTING. GENOCIDE.

        That goes for the “good” genocide party in the US as well. They’re not above reproach just because centrists’ second choice is worse.

        And you wonder why I though you were a centrist. Look out, the tankies are gonna steal your precious bodily fluids.

          Hey, if you don’t think there are performative low-info people doing dumb things in relation to Gaza/Hamas, giving lots of fodder (even though they are the exception) to people intent on being dishonest about Israel, I’m not sure what to tell you.

            Oh, I believe such people exist. They can usually be spotted screaming “tankie!” at anyone to the left of Joe Manchin.
