    There is no way of expressing disapproval with Biden’s support for Netanyahu’s genocide that isn’t interpreted in bad faith by pro-genocide centrists as helping Trump. Not one.

      Speak out, protest, write letters to your representatives and others, boycott Israel, whatever. No problem with that.

        Speak out

        I do. Even something innocuous like “Democrats shouldn’t be supporting genocide” gets immediately inundated with insinuations that I’m supporting Trump.

        protest

        But not where anyone can ever hear you. I’ve seen pro-genocide democrats call protesters at Biden events pro-trump.

        write letters to your representatives

        my representatives are republicans.

        boycott Israel, whatever.

        Just as long as nothing changes and no one in the Democratic Party is in any risk of altering their support for genocide.

            So we’re in agreement, then? Biden and Democrats in general should not be supporting genocide.

              Yes, I just think voting uncommitted doesn’t do that well and inadvertently sends a message that Biden shouldn’t be the choice in the general.

                And I see that as an excuse to silence those who oppose genocide.
