    He didn’t need to circumvent congress to sell weapons for Netanyahu’s genocide. No one was clamoring for it, and no one would have blamed him if he hadn’t done it.

    He proactively supported a genocide.

      Whatever the reason was, it wasn’t “let me send these off to kill Palestinian civilians”. He proactively supported a US ally who did questionable shit, which is very different.

          But I’m not? I’m refusing to pin it on Biden the way people are saying.

          The better question is, why is it that when I refuse to follow along the charade I get accused of things like that? I’m not even saying or implying that.

            You just referred to literal genocide as “questionable shit”. That’s downplaying.

            I’m refusing to pin it on Biden the way people are saying.

            If Biden didn’t want people to say he was supporting genocide, he shouldn’t have circumvented congress unprompted to sell weapons for Netanyahu to use in genocide.

                I quoted your euphemism for genocide directly. Elsewhere in the thread you downplay the Netanyahu/Biden genocide by referring to it as a war.
