    Didn’t all the pro-palestine groups just threaten Biden with no votes unless ceasefire? It’s almost like he’s not actually the problem. How does this factor in their calculations?

      There’s something about the middle east that makes everyone adopt idiotic self defeating positions often with a pinch of moral bankruptcy. Can’t quite put my finger on it (jk it’s organized religion and nationalism).

      He is, though. As president he can easily put a lot of pressure on Israel to stop its genocide of Gazans.

        I hear there’s a huge difference between “not actually the problem” and “unfortunately not the solution.”

        By your logic, where “not the solution” is equal to “he is the problem, though”, the penguins of Antarctica are specifically to blame for the post-pendemic economic collapse. They’re not the solution, so by your logic they are the problem.

        See how that works for the rest of us?

          He’s part of the problem because he keeps supporting Israel. He can either withdraw support or pressure support to stop bombing Gaza. With the situation as is, he’s part of the problem.
