I don't need perfect, but I want a candidate that's pretty solidly against genocide.
But too tough for her though.
Biden tried to broker peace, withheld large bombs that Israel had already paid for. Trump and other GOP candidates are favored by Israel, explicitly endorsed by Netanyahu.
If you care about Palestinians then you should endorse Kamala and whoever else the DNC candidates are, because the alternative is worse.
I'd rather the democratic party decide genocide is bad actually than blame the people who chose not to vote for people who aren't against genocide.
The DNC have never supported Genocide. Biden tried to broker peace, withheld ordinance. He did not do enough, that is true, but the GOP explicitly do support actual genocide and by not supporting the DNC you've enabled the genocide.
He didn't actually try though, is the thing. If he was trying, he would've actually withheld all of the war supplies the US is providing to Israel. He didn't.
The DNC actively supports genocide and attacked the people who didn't. They are a party of genocide. Simple as.
You're claiming the guy who withheld bombs and swore at his longest ally over the phone wanted the eradication of Palestinian people, but it just doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Every Biden official's stance was to negotiate peace. The emergency humanitarian aid mission and construction of a giant flotilla was the largest in US history.
Tanks hit the ground in Gaza and West Bank for the first time in over a decade after Trump was reelected. All aid into Gaza stopped for two months, remains sharply decreased. Pete Hegseth has openly said death or exodus are the options for Palestine. Neither party's constituency approve of Israel's actions.
Why would Biden do all that for the theatrics? It makes no sense. A pro-genocide actor would not have done so much to stop it.
