    Maga assholes are having a grand time twisting the knife in this wound trying to drive a wedge in the voting block. It’s clearly working.

    The people who are drawing the line at genocide in Gaza are being disingenuous at best. Foreign policy is, believe it or not, far more complicated than people make it out to seem. Making every effort to de-escalate the conflict at the negotiating table comes before burning bridges with arguably our last and only stalwart ally in the middle east.

        There were agreements already in place, and not sending at least some of those weapons was not an option.

          That’s just pure bullshit. Under the Leahy amendment they’re not even allowed to send weapons to countries credibly accused of human rights abuses, and the state department’s just sitting on those reports instead of following the law.

          You could literally impeach the President over this, but obviously the majority of Congress is ok with the president breaking that law.

            You’re telling me that the Republicans who have been grasping at straws for four years to come up with an excuse to impeach Biden are letting this impeachable offense pass them by? Sorry, but I don’t believe you.

              Republicans are overwhelmingly Zionists who would never criticize a Democrat for supporting Israel. If anything, they would impeach Biden for not sending Israel enough bombs and guns to use to murder innocent Gazans

                Gee, sounds like we should really do everything we can do keep these Republicans out of office then.

                    So you don’t want Biden, but you don’t want Trump either, but you can’t have it both ways. No matter if you turn out to vote or not, you are getting one of those two choices. That’s a fact. We’re stuck in the Prisoner’s Dilemma Election, and it’s time to decide if we’re going to play the game to win or not.

                    There’s far more at stake this year than just the fate of Gaza, but shortsightedness is going to kill us.
