He doesn't seem to care about people's concerns over the genocide. He picks and chooses which concerns he addresses.
While you and I may care, and a lot of young college folks care.
Your "average" American could give shit less about what is going on in Gaza. If they even have any clue at all about it.
Cynicism. A majority of Americans disapprove of Israel's actions in Gaza. 55% disapprove to 36% approve.
If this goes on until November it will only get worse, but Biden doesn't care.
Biden doesn't care because he knows he'll keep more votes than he loses by supporting Israel.
The genocide is one that I can't get over. I understand the bill that got Ukrainian aid. But he won't even call it a genocide. Even with Rafah he backpedaled.
I honestly like or at least accept the majority of Biden's term. But Gaza has been a disaster that he continues to botch.
What's there to like? The further militarisation of the police? The expansion of Obama's child caging programme? Housing crisis? Funding Nazis in Ukraine?...
He's the one directly supporting it and making sure it happens. How's he gonna call it a genocide?
