I'm in the lucky position where I don't live in the US and so do not have to pick a side anyway. Thankfully.

I don't know—I mean, yes, this whole Israel can do no harm thing is very toxic, obviously, and this genocide in Palestine is horrible. But I'm pretty sure Trump would've handled it even worse, so yes, I'd be willing to say Biden comes across as the lesser evil. But again, as I don't live in the US I only have my flawed outsider's perspective. Which probably invalidates any opinions I have on any of this.

What has Biden done that could have been worse? He's bypassed Congress for arms transfer, he's supported every stage of the genocide, he's criminalized criticism of Israel, he's sent American soldiers over and done everything people fear Trump might.

I don't believe in endorsing a genocide, even if one claims to be "nicer" about it. There has to be a red line somewhere and this is mine.

I've no idea how this goes over libs' heads (the lib I work with still doesn't get it)
