Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee in Novemberās presidential election, thankfully. He is not withdrawing because heās being held responsible for enabling war crimes against the Palestinian people (though a recent poll does have nearly 40 percent of Americans saying theyāre less likely to vote for him thanks to his handling of the war). Yet itās impossible to extricate the collapse in public faith in the Biden campaign from the āuncommittedā movement for Gaza. They were the first people to refuse him their votes, and defections from within the presidentās base hollowed out his support well in advance of the debate.
The Democrats and their presumptive nominee Kamala Harris are faced with a choice: On the one hand, they can continue Bidenās monstrous support for Netanyahu, the brutal IDF, and Israelās genocide of Palestinians. That would help allow the party to cover for Biden and put a positive spin on a smooth handoff, even though we all know this would mainly benefit the embittered president himself and his small coterie of loyalists. Such a choice would confirm that the institutional rot that allowed the current situation to develop still characterizes the party.
new labor mpās in the uk have decided to support the genocide and threatened the icc from ruling against isreal, as the tories promised, and macron is intriguing with the far right to run france, saying that nobody won the election. so yes, their voters wanted center left; but their leaders are ignoring it and forcing the status quo.
the us election is still over 3 months away. kamala isnāt much different than biden in ways that matter and all indications suggests that sheās going to continue supporting the genocide as well despite publicly advocating against it the entire time itās been a thing.
You saw someone write a thing that they openly admitted was unrealistic and purely to indulge in a crumb of hope, and you felt this comment was necessary. Are you okay?
hopium is the reason we got biden and what other awful politicians use as cover to get elected.
the real world sucks and hopium is a childrenās coping mechanism; i hope youāre the one thatās okay.
Tough guy talking mad shit on the internet. Youāre so cool.
not shit; just common sense
