Biden is the one supporting slaughter right now, and Biden is the one with power to stop it.
What would protesting Trump do?
Honestly? It would keep him hopefully from having a close enough election to contest it, game it, and potentially evade punishment for the crimes he's actually on trial RIGHT NOW for committing. Then there is precedent for punishing a president and guess who can be next?
Biden does not sit on a button that says "lower gas prices" or "defund Israel" or "hold trump accountable" or any of a whole variety of things in the first place. Can he do more? Sure. Would I trash him because everybody has to do the exact right thing with the exact right issue every time or I'm going to take my ball and go home to let the other guy win and escape punishment for the first time ever? Fuck. No.
Get precedent for punishment, then punish them all.
The US by its own law must not send weapons to war criminals and actors preventing US humanitarian efforts Israel is doing both. All Biden has to do is uphold US law. Why are you letting him get away with the same shit that Trump did?
See last sentence of previous comment.
Nobody has to get away with anything, the only trick is not chasing every squirrel in the park to make sure nothing gets done.
Trump tells Israel to "finish the job" in gaza,

You should try knowing what you're talking about some time
Read my comment very carefully. Where did I say "Trump would do less harm?" Exactly nowhere.
Protesting Trump for what he will probably do if he makes it to office rather than the sitting president actively supporting genocide is hilariously ineffective.

It's implied in a two party system kiddo
No it isn't, lmao. Who the fuck protests someone who can't fix the problem at hand? Do you want to protest against Hitler for also being worse than Biden as Biden assists in slaughtering children?
"Kiddo," you're deeply unserious.
Ensure he doesn't get into office and push Israel harder to annihilate every Gazan.
Israel is already absolutely blasting every man, woman, and child in Gaza, with no sign of stopping. Could Trump be worse? Sure. Is giving Biden a pass and falling in line with his genocide going to make things better? Absolutely the fuck not.
I didn't say anything about Biden, only that Trump getting into office would make make Israel feel emboldened to kill more children with Trump openly applauding and perhaps even supporting with American troops on the ground. Biden needs to change his view but we are protesting while standing on the lip of a maga volcano.
Biden is openly appluading it and sending American weapons. If you think Trump is bad, I agree! Biden needs to be worth voting for.
"Bidens at fault for his inaction" "I'm not at fault for my inaction"
What action can we take to make biden not support genocide?
I think Trump is the much much bigger threat. He supports the genocide in both Ukraine and Israel. At least Biden is vocally against the genocide in Israel. We just need to get Biden into office then work on getting aid to Gaza and a cease-fire along with continued support for Ukraine. Trump in office could mean the end of NATO and with that the proliferation of nuclear weapons among all the other NATO members now that their nuclear umbrella is gone. Everywhere could be like Gaza of Trump is allowed anywhere near the oval office. He is a risk not worth taking under any circumstances.
They already do.
You're going to have to give me some yoga tips. Your stretching is impressive.
