If you haven't noticed he is not saving Palestine, he's funding and providing the weapons for their slaughter
-
I get what you're saying but Biden sure as hell isn't saving Palestine anytime soon. He's a self-proclaimed Zionist.
There's a reason he's called genocide Joe.

There's a reason he's called genocide Joe.
Is it because the rightwing machine has decided that's the name they're going with because their dumbfuck base loves alliteration?
-
What do you expect him to do? Biden has already called for Netanyahu to resign. Do you want him to send the U.S. military in to fight the Israeli military in defense of people that want the United States to burn?
-
He's not, and it's not going to stick no matter how hard you try.
I know it's a tall order for conservatives, but you guys really gotta start getting more creative with the names. Putting an adjective in front of a person's first name is like bottom tier effort.

Hes already failed. Theyre dead.

Voting for Hitler is the only way to save the Jews!

Can we say he's a bad president yet? Between blaming the media for people's perception of the economy and Gaza, I'm gonna have to hold my nose to vote for him.
-
He's exactly what I expected from a centrist
-
No. You have to vote blue, no matter who!

blaming the media for the people’s perceptions of the economy
The media has absolutely been mischaracterizing the state of the economy, just like they do Trump himself.
Why? Because it makes them more money:
“Most of the ads are not about issues. They’re sort of like the debates,” he said.
“Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now? … The money’s rolling in and this is fun,” he said. “I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going,” said Moonves.
“Donald’s place in this election is a good thing,” he said Monday at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco.
“There’s a lot of money in the marketplace,” the exec said of political advertising so far this presidential season.
Division, fear, chaos bring more attention to the news as it impacts more and more.
Furthermore, the “people’s perceptions of the economy” are based on their actual lives. You know why their lives are so expensive? Corporate greed. The core of the economy itself is doing quite well all things considered given Donald printed the most money ever in the history of the goddamn country, but that doesn’t change much when the few monopolies in this country that own everything get to pump up prices and reduce sizes simply to make more money.
With Gaza he has been a voice of caution but he can’t control bibi. Yes we should have only provided arms under conditional terms but he was instrumental in bringing together cease fires that Hamas didn’t honor and he continues to work with Qatari and other regional leaders to work out a better solution for this mess.
You say you have to hold your nose to vote for him yet you clearly have a very reduced view into why you think he’s so bad.
He’s also the first president to join the picket lines in solidarity with unions, he focuses on the workers, fighting for student loan forgiveness and proper pricing for Medicare, threatening to snatch tax payer funded patents from pharmaceutical companies that price gouge, etc.
After Trump, you should know what an actual bad president looks like yet here you are with your milquetoast “c-can we say Biden bad yet? 🥺👉👈”
Get a fucking grip on reality

The selling and sending of thousands of tons of material support isn’t on Biden?
The guy who bypassed congressional oversight to sell more weapons to israel quicker?

You sound like John Fetterman lol

And since the Israel-Hamas war began, the administration’s refusal to challenge Israeli actions widely seen as war crimes — from collective punishment of Gaza’s civilian population to attacks on civilians — has made it impossible for most observers to take Biden seriously on human rights.
Annie Shiel, the U.S. advocacy director for the rights group CIVIC, reflected on the contrast in a Dec. 21 statement reacting to the Defense Department’s announcement of a policy to shield civilians.
“For this policy to be meaningful, it must be applied consistently. The department’s response to catastrophic civilian harm and destruction in Gaza, caused by Israeli operations directly supported by U.S. assistance, has failed to live up to and actively undermined U.S. civilian protection efforts like this policy,” Shiel said. “A true commitment to protecting civilians must go beyond rhetoric and be backed by action and leverage — including the political will to suspend military aid that is directly contributing to the deaths of thousands of civilians.”
The governments of US and Israel are full of useless words and no actions when it comes to aiding suffering Palestinian innocents and minimizing unrelated casualties.
Yes it's Biden's problem, but it's the fault of the entire US state department. This behaviour on the world stage makes the US appear like Russia when they were part of G8.

Be nice if people would actually knew what was going on behind the scene before they rush to conclusions

Imagine being so willfully tone-deaf.

The war on drugs and the crime bill had significant support in the black community and were endorsed by both political and religious leaders.
Getting into the uselessness of the “tough on crime” position politicians take would be a very involved discussion, but at the time it was not seen the way we now see it in hindsight, and it had pretty widespread support.
If you ain’t voting for Biden, you ain’t black.
