    Bidens state department openly enables and encourages genocide and then they feel slighted by his sub 40% approval (blaming the people for your poll numbers is really not helping the situation for anybody that needs to hear this). I don’t know what is so hard for them to understand. Nobody is happy with the course of action. A great way to reverse these poll numbers would be to stop providing Israel with material support for genocide and to provide Palestinians material support for simply existing, but Biden has made his bed with a base of liberals that is a rapidly shrinking block and without them he has literally no support what-so-ever. The message that these tone def liberals will inevitably not take from all this is that the democratic party needs to change dramatically if they ever want to win a national election again. Honestly this is the message they needed to get in 2016 and failed to pick up on when they went all in on Hillary. They took winning in 2020 with Biden as a mandate from the masses, which they misread incredibly (He won because we all had enough of Trumps shit and promptly learned that hey, actually Bidens shit is worse somehow) and they are now running on the mandate nobody ever gave them. Trump is going to trounce any Democrat they could run in 2024, because the one thing the Democrats don’t get is that the demographics have changed. Liberal boomers are not a viable course to victory and Black and Latino voters are much more conservative then they want to believe and are finding the modern democratic party just as racist as the modern republican party, so why not vote their religious values. The math is not good for a democratic base which makes a plurality of about 37% of likely voters. If the Democrats want to fill in that gap they need to do things to pull in more young voters, who don’t want genocide in Gaza. Denying it is happening is the most tone def way to appeal to a generation of voters who actually know what gaslighting is.

    The U.S has lost the authority to command respect and leadership in the global stage in such a short time since Biden took office.

    US propagandists disgust me. Guess what the US regime would have said during the native American genocide if asking about it.

    There’s a reason the term “not-see” exists, and its pronunciation is no coincidence.

    “we’ve investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing”

    America and its accomplices deserve the debacle that’s coming.

    Of course they can’t see it, they’re actively funding it!

    Miller said he did not have any assessment to share on whether war crimes or crimes against humanity have been committed.

    I guess we all know what this mean.

      Hey man, they turned a FULL 360 degrees and didn’t see one single act of genocide being committed in Gaza.

    How? “It’s only genocide if they all are killed” or what’s your definition? I mean… it’s not a full-blown genocide right now but we’ve just entered the highway to Genocidistan.

      It’s a full-blown genocide already; they’re trying to recreate the Armenian genocide but are facing too much resistance.

      Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.
