It helps when they are not the minority… with a 10% margin
I'll never vote blue no matter who ever again. We are living the ongoing consequences of Biden's ongoing genocide, and y'all are way too willing to shift all the blame to Trump and GOP.
I'm certain 1 or 2 Democrats would have broken with party line to ensure it passes, we don't have 50 moral Democrats that can't be bought. They didn't need to break the illusion of being the opposition party this time.
Remember that it was under Biden that reporters were dragged out by force for asking questions about Gaza.
Israel were illegally seizing Palestinian land by force under 45. And Obama. And Bush. In fact pretty much as a matter of ongoing policy going back to 1948. Saying that it's still "Biden's ongoing genocide" isn't fair or reasonable when Trump is posting AI videos of himself and Netanyahu enjoying his new casino on the Gaza strip.
Oh no not AI videos! The horror. Bring back the 2,000lbs bombs on tent encampments and leaving babies to starve to death in hospitals, bring back white phosphorus on civilians, bring back normalizing dead baby pieces hanging from the rubble. But not AI videos!!!
Biden is our Hitler, and our history books will reflect that. You're correct, the Gaza genocide is just one small chapter in the history of England and then the US colonizing Palestine.
Be consistent, if you're able to credit him for the good things he did instead of saying he's just building on what Trump left him, you should be able to recognize that he could have ended this genocide but refused.
Even if Trump was a good president/person and wanted to end it, there's nothing left of Gaza for the remaining population. Biden already wiped it out.
