    An actual genocide is happening right now.

    Yeah, but Biden’s not the one committing it. Biden is an incidental element of a much larger apparatus and if that apparatus is primarily meant to commit this particular genocide, he’s not a particularly effective one.

    what makes you think he’ll stop it when he’s not at any risk of losing the election?

    Literally nothing. No one is arguing that borderline unconditional support will make Biden change his mind. Why would you even ask? On the other hand, if making Biden think he’s gonna lose won’t sufficiently motivate him, then threatening to not vote is just an ineffective strategy. Your premise undermines the conclusion you seem to be hinting at.

      Blaming moderate Biden for far-right Netanyahu’s genocide is the fundamental error. Biden doesn’t control Israel and Trump would reinforce Netanyahu’s brutality and support it, where Biden is trying to leverage concessions and aid for Palestinians working with an irrational and brutal historical ally that keeps actively spiteing us. We should reconsider our relationship with Israel if they spite us in order to commit atrocities, but blaming Biden for it is fundamentally stupid.

          I always like to ask in these circumstances if they send over the aid and the bombs on the same ship
