US President Joe Biden strongly defended Israel on Monday, saying Israeli forces are not committing genocide in their military campaign against Hamas militants in Gaza.

“What’s happening in Gaza is not genocide. We reject that,” Biden said at a Jewish American Heritage Month event at the White House.

I can’t tell if he’s pandering or trying to lose the election

    The thing is, we either get 2 more years of Biden, or 2 more years of Trump.

    And

    Trump and more broadly republicans have publicly declared their intent to move the country towards a dictatorship.

    Are incongruent.

    Also, how long do you think presidential terms are? Why do you think we’re going to have another presidential election in 2 years?

    You do realize that the election is this year right? Even further, if Biden wins this year, he couldn’t run for a third term if he (and the DNC) wanted.

    Most importantly: if Trump wins this year, it won’t just be “2 more years of Trump.” If we listen to what Trump and the GOP has been telling us they will do (and we fucking should, read "Project 2025”), it won’t even be only 4 more years of Trump. It will mark the beginning of the Trump Family Dynasty and his name will rule the country for generations. You want Emperor Barron? I wish this was fucking hyperbole.

    They’re not “moving toward a dictatorship,” this is it. This election will decide if democracy continues to exist in the US at all.

    He’ll also be far far worse than Biden/Democrats regarding the one topic these people seem to suddenly give a shit about.

    It’s shameful. To use the plight of the Palestinian people as a political cudgel. If these people gave a shit about this genocide, they would recognize that allowing Trump into the White House again will make it sooooooo much worse. Don’t think “it can’t get worse,” because we’re about to see it if he wins.
