    They are not gun shy. This is all theater. Every time you hear a massive lie or act you are supposed to believe that it is just incompetence.

    When Biden wanted those weapons to israel to commit Genocide all these principles went out of the window.

      I’ll be honest, Linkerbaan — and you may know this from our previous discussions — I can even see the high-stakes situation with Israel and not like it but understand why in the grand scheme of politics (AIPAC, Jewish American voters, and the risk of withholding arms and then a false-flag terrorist attack occurs on Israeli soil, only to cause an immediate end of Biden’s campaign and an installation of someone FAR more pro-genocide)… But nevertheless, your point raises something I think we can both agree on: Ditching Biden also helps, as Mehdi Hasan has pointed out, ditch the baggage of Israeli genocide complicity.

        I don’t believe witholding offensive weapons would risk anything.

        I agree with you about AIPAC. But playing their corrupt games does not excuse anything. If Biden wanted he could ban AIPAC.

        It’s like people are admitting that israel controls America and are just fine with it. I’ll never understand it.

        Progressives don’t differ between Biden or Trump. Genocide is Genocide. Biden is getting all the flak simply because he’s in power right now and he’s the one who can stop the Genocide. It would be very convenient if Trump was in power for Democrats right now. Everyone would rally against Trump for doing what Biden is doing now.

        The moment Biden stops the Genocide is when I’ll stop dunking on him every 5 seconds. I’ve stated that… Eight months ago… Sad reality.
