Tell me something. What in the past 14 months has led you to believe that Biden was holding Israel back?
You are changing the subject instead of defending your position.
Biden has nothing to do with it. He wasn't running for President.
Kamala's position was to strive for a ceasefire, and Trump's position was to give Israel whatever they need to get the job done.
By voting 3rd party, you've taken the position that these two options are identical in your eyes. Either Israel continues with likely similar reluctant support, or Israel continues with encouragement and unlimited support. Which do you think will lead to more Palestinian deaths?
On top of this, this was Kamala's weakest policy, and she still clearly wins out. You are not only willing to throw the Palestinians under the bus, you're willing to throw trans people, women, and immigrants under the bus too. All of this so you can be on your high horse and pretend to be morally superior while enabling the worst future for everyone. Good job.
And it was an obvious lie, because she wouldn't commit to an arms embargo or sanctions or any kind of consequences. She was just lying so that liberals could pretend like they weren't voting for genocide.
Quite impressive how you can read minds and see the future.
"Ceasefire" was turned into a joke to mean "a temporary pause to get the Israeli hostages back" and there were zero commitments to making Israel face any consequences for it's crimes. Furthermore, she basically pledged to be exactly the same as Biden and Biden is vehemently against an arms embargo. On top of all that, the administration condemned the ICJ and more recently the ICC.
Dunno, seems pretty obvious.
