The refusal to condemn Israel’s genocide of Palestinians resulted in a “net-negative” of voters’ support, sources said.

      Joe Biden personally feeding Palestinian children into a meat grinder. Kamala cheering.

      You: “Wow, he’s acting with such poise. He’s so pragmatic. I’m so proud to be an American.”

      You are the one campaigning for an explicit supporter of the genocide’s perpetrators. There is no spin you can put on this.

      You know what I care about?

      Killing America. And I’ll throw away my vote as many times as it takes until this shithole country dies.

      It’s really disgusting that you try to pin the Palestinian genocide on people who refused to politically support the party enabling the genocide.
