Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You're confusing, as usual, the leadership of the US with the leadership of Israel.
Harris is NOT "the VP of a Genocide", the closest would be Yariv Levin, the Deputy Prime Minister behind Benjamin Netanyahu, though naturally it's more complicated than that:

It really looks like Israel is kind of a cluster fuck at this level:

Besides the Prime Minister (Bibi) they have an Acting Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Vice Prime Minister and Alternate Prime Minister.
In the event Bibi is incapacitated, both the Acting Prime Minister and Alternate Prime Minister take over, while the Deputy Prime Minister is purely honorary, as is "Vice Prime Minister".
BUT:
Of those 4 roles, 3/4 are currently vacant. Meaning the Deputy Prime Minister is the only one capable of filling the role.
Acting Prime Minister - vacated 31 March 2009
Alternate Prime Minister - vacated 8 November 2022
Vice Prime Minister - vacated 24 January 2023
No, 76 years worth of US support totalling $310 billion dollars is why Israel is able to commit Genocide and other atrocities.
Biden's donation to the cause is just the most recent and miniscule.
It's not orders. Israel has had $300 billion dollars worth of aid and weapons over the last 75 years. They don't need Biden.
That is NOT why Biden is sending arms to Israel. Biden is rightly sending arms to Israel for the "Iron Dome" protection from outside aggression.

Israel misappropriates that support for use in the genocide. That is NOT on Biden. That's on Bibi and the IDF.
But in the end I am so fucking tired of your continual misrepresetation of facts bordering on outright lies.
"My neighbor told me coyotes keep eating his outdoor cats so I asked how many cats he has and he said he just goes to the shelter and gets a new cat afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding shelter cats to coyotes and then his daughter started crying." - Mike Primavera
Biden knows what the weapons are used for. He's still selling them.
