        True. Blaming the genocide on Joe Biden misses the point that the genocide will be happening no matter who is president.

          Which in turn ignores the fact that only Biden is CURRENTLY the president and accountable for his own actions (which include material aid and political cover to the point that the US in general and the executive branch in particular is an active PARTICIPANT in the genocide rather than just a biased bystander) and that he’s acting against the wishes of not just the vast majority of the people who voted for him, but also the majority of the population in general.

          I don’t like the use of the term either, as it makes legitimate criticism seem disingenuous if not downright Trumpian, but that doesn’t mean that it’s inaccurate.

            I do agree with you. Biden can stop it but chooses not to, he is a Zionist. But no one will become US president unless they are Zionists until something is done about AIPAC. Biden is as guilty as he can be, and it the same time completely irrelevant, just a warm body that will be replaced with another.

              I get what you’re saying, but I strenuously disagree with your central assertion that there’s no point in legitimate criticism of a sitting president as long as there isn’t currently a better president available.

              You don’t just get a free pass to commit crimes against humanity because there’s nobody lined up who wouldn’t.

              That’s lumping the US president in with the likes of Viktor Orban, Vladimir Putin, Benyamin Netanyahu, and other presidents whose subjects aren’t allowed to criticize their worst actions.

                What I was trying to say is that the president is a symptom and focusing on the president distracts from the system that elects them, because good people do exist and the majority oppose what Biden is doing, they just don’t seem to make it on the ballot. But you are right we can walk and chew gum at the same time, I am not taking any agency away from Biden, he is going to hell according to his own believes anyways.
