Stopping gun violence is what the Gaza protestor is trying to to do. Banning bigotry? Yep, same. Save democracy? How? By standing strong with genocide? Not very fucking likely, imo.
For all of the people who will inevitably show up to say “But you can’t criticize Biden, it’s an election year”: man, I can’t imagine offering such a bad take completely unprompted and free of charge. People are throwing tomatoes at you from the shores of history, you just don’t know it yet. Supporting genocide is wrong, period. If Biden doesn’t want to be criticized for it, maybe he should stop supporting it.

I have never heard anyone say that. In fact, it’s because you can criticize Biden and there’s even an outside chance he’ll listen that makes him the better candidate than the guy who listens to nobody ever, unless the message is how to make him more wealthy.
Edit: Actually, the only people I have heard say that are propagandists setting up straw men. Like you.
The only propaganda I want to spread is the propaganda of stopping genocide. I’d love to see Biden do it. Like, unironically. Please, as soon as possible.
Edit: incredible, I never thought I’d live to see “stop genocide” get down voted. What a world to live in. I realize my tone is kind of shitty, but wow, really.
Yes, you have persuaded me that the only rational course of action remaining is to leave babies to die of neglect after you force hospital staff out at gunpoint, murder ambulance crews and their patients, murder aid workers, murder anyone in the same building as a militant in one of the highest density populations on earth, force men, women, and children to starve when the world is ready to deliver aid, tell people to go to refugee camps and then bomb the refugee camps, massacre people for rushing to a food truck to get food for the crime of being desperate and hungry, destroy their homes and possessions, reject peace deals that include the abolition of hamas as an organization, close off every means of escape, and then move your people into their land once you’ve sufficiently killed them off.
Of all the cases for genocide, you made, well, one of them. I would say that I hope you feel as good about it in the future as you do now, but I wouldn’t mean it, because it’s a fucking genocide and you’re defending it. I get that you don’t seem to want the extermination of all Palestinians, but you’re going to bat for a government that does.
You engaged with a grand total of 0 of the points that I made. So A+ dodging I guess. Congratulations on being a classic bad faith actor.
Hamas are a terrorist organization that openly advocates for genocide and commits war crimes, murdering civilians in cold blood, taking hostages, operating out of hospitals and aide organizations, and using innocent people as human shields. They have a PR department, and they don’t need any new hires right now, sorry.
The only peaceful, non-genocidal solution to the Israeli-Palestinian war is a two-state solution. Fuck Hamas, fuck Netenyahu, and also to a much lesser extent, fuck you. I didn’t “make a case for genocide”, you did. If you think Hamas are going to go down in history as heroes or freedom fighters, you’re as dumb as you are ignorant of history.
I don’t think they’ll go down as heroes, I think this is going to go down more or less how native American genocide happened in the US west. Native Americans would do cattle raids or revenge killings, which were often used as justifications for even more violence against non-combatants (followed by the taking of that sweet, sweet land). Which is more or less what’s happening here. I think the formation of the modern Israeli state was a huge mistake, and now we’ve got to deal with it. Ultimately, no solution’s going to be popular, but letting the IDF commit genocide while saying “but HAMAS” ain’t it. HAMAS has offered to disband itself in the latest peace talks, which Israel rejected. That really just leaves the naked truth that what Israel wants in the land, and if they’ve got to murder everyone there for it, that’s a small price for the US to subsidize.

Best we can do is expanding funding for military hardware for police and criminalizing homelessness.
You are getting downvoted for the context, not because of one line that seems disingenuous in the context of your posts.
They can’t see the forest because all the trees are in the way.
Im convinced neoliberals are genuinely heartless.
