    TBF while not voting for Biden is a very bad move, I can understand making a literal genocide your single issue.

      Are people expecting Trump to have handled this situation any better?

      The dude systematically kisses up autocratic strongmen and people expect him to have a balanced, mediating, tempering approach to this situation?

        Nope, but there are people who will just not vote. I’m not saying it’s right, but Biden’s willingness to be accomplice to genocide is damaging many people’s faith in the democratic process. Hopefully they vote for Bernie in the primaries instead of just being mad about it on the internet.

            bernie is a bastard who supports the genocide,

            What? He’s what of the few US senators who demanded the US push for a ceasefire.

                You should read the whole thing.

                Edit: He also said this:

                “The immediate task right now is to end the bombing,” Sanders said Sunday, “to end the horrific humanitarian disaster, to build – go forward with the entire world for a two-tier, two-state solution to the crisis to give the Palestinian people hope.”

              Source? Last video I watched he was giving the “I don’t see the point of a ceasefire” line.

              Don’t confuse “humanitarian pause” with “ceasefire”, they’re completely different - “humanitarian pause” means a few hours/days off, and then starting it right back up.

                He said he can’t see a permanent ceasefire holding up with Hamas, not that he doesn’t see the point of a ceasefire. He said this later:

                “The immediate task right now is to end the bombing,” Sanders said Sunday, “to end the horrific humanitarian disaster, to build – go forward with the entire world for a two-tier, two-state solution to the crisis to give the Palestinian people hope.”

                  Honestly, I saw his most recent interview, he was supporting the continuation of hostilities (urging restraint and all that) until Hamas was removed. Then I watched the hour long Norman Finkelstein response to it, going over his premises in excruciating detail - https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/11/06/18860126.php I don’t think your portrayal of his statements is accurate.

        No, but the choice is hastening the inevitable collapse of the failed american state.

        or desperately spending years panicking and frantically adding seconds to the slowly ticking detonator.

        and I can understand why people are getting sick of the second one and just saying fuck it and embrace chaos and the end.

          This is a juvenile view.

            Being fed up with constantly struggling to keep the doomsday clock one second from midnight so it doesnt finally tick over is hardly juvenile.

            You’ll understand when you grow up.
