“As the president of the United States, you have power to change the course of history, and the responsibility to save lives right now,” the staffers wrote.
Remember this blood is on the hands of anyone who voted for him and would vote for him again.
Genocide is Biden’s legacy, hope it was worth saving “democracy”.
Your downvotes are a witness against you and do not absolve you of your guilt.
That you apparently have the privilege to not be affected by the consequences of a Republican government doesn’t invalidate the choices of those who would be, and voted accordingly.
We are all complicit in the same way we are all complicit for the war crimes committed by America in the Middle East: most of us did not have a choice in the matter whatsoever. All we can do is demand them to stop.
I’m not going to judge someone whose choices are “genocide” and “genocide even more, and even more local genocide” and picks the former.
On the contrary, you are displaying the tremendous privilege of living in the imperial core by being able to choose between “‘genocide’ and ‘genocide even more, and even more local genocide’” and justify literally voluntarily voting to choose genocide in order to make yourself feel more comfortable within the imperial core.
True fascism taking power in the US means that I and the people around me will be murdered. But I don’t feel the ethical apathy to be able to coldly prefer international genocide of others to keep myself safe at home all the while pretending like I saved the freedom for the entire world as children and whole families are being murdered. Biden is not the progressive savior all of you claimed he was, now at least you admit you chose “genocide”—which I do, and history will, judge harshly.
If you choose to vote for him again after this, you will consciously approve of genocide and be all the more guilty.
To be fair, i don’t think Israel is going to do a cease fire even if we yeet all the aid and support we promised them. Netty has been wanting this fight for… ages.
Not too sure on that, US has many ways to force cease fires as good as starting coups.
I think if we had a president and congress that wanted it done, it would be done.
Considering how well those coups worked out, I’d really like for that sad chapter of US history to stay history, as much as I despise Bibi’s reactionary government.
Well, IMO the coups did what was required, same in latin america.
It stopped the political party that was going to rule and chaos would ensue.
Due to party plans of interfering with US corporations and allies.
They did meet short term goals but the long term blowback is indicative that it’s not worth it from a cold strategic perspective even when not factoring in the ideological hypocrisy
Oh, okay.
I think I understand a bit of what you are saying.
Thanks!
Damn looks like there is ‘No Possibility’ that I will be voting for that cuck ever again.
Well have to see if the Annoying Orange rises up as candidate again.
State polls show he is tied or winning in some cases over biden.
When certain two unnamed 3rd party people are included, numbers shift in an interesting way.
For biden to win, polling needs to be couple points higher, not just tied.
One year out, so… will be interesting to see how well polling works this time around.
Taking from my comment on the other community where you posted this:
Biden asked for one and reported Netanyahu said no.
The headline sounds like he’s just dismissing his staffers
You mean the headline is intentionally misleading to the point of misinforming people?
It’s straight up journalistic malpractice the way they phrased it
Correlation does not imply causation. Just because you misinterpret the headline doesn’t make it wrong.
It doesn’t matter what the intent is here, the headline is misleading, which is poor journalist integrity. Both malice and ignorance can sink a ship.
Intent is irrelevant. Biden’s comment and the staffer’s letter correlate (A relationship or connection between two things based on co-occurrence or pattern of change). It is implied (To make evident indirectly) that Biden is disregarding the wishes of the staffers. If you can’t comprehend this, I can’t help you read gooderer.
I assumed people could read past the headline.
I mean… Isn’t the point of the headline to concisely represent the article? That’s the entire reason clickbait is considered bad.
Yes, the information in the article is unimportant because the headline is cumbersome. /s
In just over a month, Israeli bombing has killed nearly 11,000 people in Gaza and displaced more than 70% of the territory’s population.
Jesus wept.
Surprised it’s not higher. Gaza’s government has spent $0 on defensive technologies. Zero radar installations, zero anti-aircraft weapons, zero SAM, zero bomb bunkers.
I mean every time they and repair anything… but I’m not supposed to talk about that, that’s antisemitism. /s 🤮
