He's not the lesser of two evils. Cut this horseshit rhetoric. Biden has done a good job. No-one is perfect but calling him evil is just right wing propaganda both sides bullshit.

Trump is evil. If you want to see evil, vote Trump.

I understand where are you coming from. But you honestly believe that a person that enables genocide abroad isn't evil?

By your logic, every leader of a 1st world country for the last several decades is evil.

I have this conversation every single time I open up lemmy these days..

Biden isn't enabling a genocide. If the US completely stopped sending anything to Israel, Israel would still be conducting this genocide. Netanyahu said so himself. Israel generates its own war supplies and exports its excess.

The only thing that would change is the US would lose the influence it has left in the middle east and some other (likely hostile) nation would scoop up that spot. That's the real reason the US is still party to this.

Everyone who believes Biden is evil because they think he has a magic genocide-off button on his desk isn't paying attention.

I understand and agree. But being complicit and helping the genocide (and basically enabling it by not saying it is one out loud) could be considered evil.

Now, Biden may not be evil. But it's foreign policy in this regard might be.

Still, the genocide will be carried out. But enabling it does not help. And I say it again. If Biden is evil, it does not matter. It is better than Trump. You do not need to portray him in a good light. He just needs to be supported more than Trump. Vote Biden.

We Argentinians elected a fascist as president. I can and would have got behind the right if it meant stopping this pos.
