    I think you meant to say #genocideNetanyahu. But that doesn’t sound as catchy and doesn’t push whatever deluded maga narrative you wish was reality. You want so badly to vilify anyone that isn’t your fascist leader that you’ll blame a genocide perpetrated by another country on him. Wild.

    But also, fuck Biden for not condemning Netanyahu and Israel on day 1. Genocide is never ok. And sending support to someone doing it is horrendous, but it is not the same as doing it.

        If he doesn’t want to be tied to genocide, all he has to do is stop supporting genocide.

            No. Therefore, Biden should stop supporting genocide. Why is all criticism of Biden’s support for genocide immediately interpreted as support for Trump?

            It’s starting to look like centrists want genocide and just don’t want to have to justify supporting it.

              I didn’t say that or jump on that bandwagon. This is what I know: if you have the nuance to bitch about him but vote for him, you shouldn’t assume others do. So when you bitch about him, you encourage potential election swinging voters to stay home. And if you won’t vote for him in spite of this horrible policy with which I agree with you about, you’re voting for Trump by abstaining. We don’t have the privilege to intellectualize. The country isn’t there right now. Spoiled by recent wins. Unable to read the room.

                Right. Never disagree publicly with anything Biden does because it’s supporting Trump.

                And it’s never the time to discuss anything. Because that also supports Trump.

                Basically, it’s just shut up and enjoy the genocide because centrists do.

                    Say anything even remotely critical about Biden’s support for Netanyahu’s genocide, and every centrist Democrat who sees it launches into their standard tirade. You get called a Trumpist, a child who doesn’t know how anything works, an idiot, a moron, a troll, a shill, a bot, a foreign astroturfer, and probably a few more entries from the centrist greatest hits list that I’m forgetting.

                    “We shouldn’t be supporting genocide” is such a universally hated position among centrists. They don’t want to stop, but they also don’t feel like they should have to justify anything. So out come the insults and accusations.

                    Centrist Democrats are usually so willing to jettison support for any position. It’s telling how they develop a backbone for this issue alone.
