      Lame response. Explain US Presidential power, and how they have the ability to tell another country what to do.

            On fear of getting downvoted even being associated with you, I dont see anything wrong with your message. Everyone saying Biden cant do anything because his hands are tied or because congress are wrong. It’s like they never heard of an executive order before. Or he could simply accept there’s a genocide happening and support the ICJ and ICC just like Germany who said they’d help execute the warrants. Withholding funding and arms and possible economic sanctions would be another route

            I think it’s good to be critical of the actions of the party in power no matter who. I know Trump is worse for the US middle east and the world in general but there’s no reason we shouldnt be making Joe sweat to try and get him to do the right thing.

                Everyone here opposes genocide. And you know this. You just seem to enjoy casting aspersions on others for seeming no good reason.

                No one here has said anything even remotely pro-genocide. What few ever have- are usually rightfully removed/banned.

                  Everyone here opposes genocide.

                  I’ve already provided examples to the contrary. You didn’t read the comment at all and just replied “okay buddy.”

                  No one here has said anything even remotely pro-genocide.

                  Okay buddy.

        I’ve never said that Biden can order Netanyahu to stop. Israel is a sovereign nation headed by a genocidal madman. One we are not required to support in all his endeavors. Biden can stop selling him weapons. Biden’s administration can stop running interference for him at the UN. And Biden did not need to falsely claim that there is no genocide occurring in Gaza.

          The Democrats already tried to stop selling weapons to Israel, but that was shut down by the Republicans. Perhaps if you would keep yourself up-to-date you would understand the real problem is… Yet again, the Republicans.

            That only passed the House. It has not passed the Senate, and Chuck Schumer says it’s not going to the floor for a vote. Even if it passed the Senate, Biden himself would need to sign it. Biden’s hands remain untied. Just how do you imagine legislation works?

            Perhaps if you would keep yourself up-to-date you would understand the real problem is… Yet again, the Republicans.

            Have you considered that you might be smugly incorrect about other things as well?

                  This was never about you changing your mind. You are going to think what you want to think and I am going to think what I want to think. But you sound very silly with your genocide Joe nonsense. What is the end goal? You just sound very angry, which is understandable. But perhaps that energy could be used to solve problems instead of just complaining about them.

                    I don’t refer to him as genocide Joe. I do say that he should stop supporting genocide, because he should.

                    What is the end goal?

                    Ideally? That Biden should stop supporting genocide.

                    You just sound very angry, which is understandable.

                    I am very angry. The man I voted for is supporting genocide, and that’s not exactly what he ran on.

                    But perhaps that energy could be used to solve problems instead of just complaining about them.

                    I live in Texas. Problems aren’t tractable from this end of things.
