mmm yes I suppose it also had nothing to do with the alternative candidate gg ez cheating their primary and defending said cheating after getting exposed
or I guess if you want to apply it to right now, I suppose it had nothing to do with the incumbent funding a genocide and running his campaign on "well at least I'm not the guy who's even more evil"
Doesn't Trump support the genocide, too, though? Or has he just kept silent about it?
No, he's very openly said he wants to exterminate Gaza.
You just never hear about it here because THE WHOLE GENOCIDE JOE THING IS LITERALLY PROPAGANDA. YOU ARE BEING MANIPULATED WAKE THE FUCK UP.
How can it be propaganda? He is currently overseeing and speaking positively of his massive support for a genocide, happening right now. That's as truthful as it gets.
Except he isn't? He's literally telling that fuck in Israel to stop and has ordered humanitarian aid to be dropped in. He even demanded a ceasefire so they could help the Palestinians and that fuck in Israel said "nah, ~~we want the land~~ they're all terrorists." He can't just stop giving aid because isrealis have a ton of political pressure here on our government and they were attacked so we'd be made to look like the assholes for cutting off the aid.
It's people online that are going way overboard with the "Genocide Joe" nonsense when it should be that fuck in Israel. Fuck his name, he's "that fuck in Israel" to me.
So he's continuing to oversee massive support for a genocide? As in, precisely what I said? We're not just talking about generic 'aid', we're talking bombs and guns in the billions of dollars. Biden and the dems are fully able to stop funding Israeli genocide, but choose not to.
So...he can't cut off the aid, because the optics are bad? That seems like a very, very poor excuse for supporting genocide. Also, the optics for supporting genocide are not good, either.
It's not purely the optics, but the fallout from it all. Major loss of support means Trump wins and the bombing continues or even gets worse, so as another user put it elsewhere "Biden is dealing with a hell of a trolly problem." No matter whether he pulls the lever or not people will suffer :(
Major loss of support from whom? The pro-genocide lobby? He should be running away from that endorsement, not towards it.
