Joe Biden talked about wanting a cease-fire, but he continued sending weapons to Israel and refused to apply any pressure to end the attack on Gaza. That refusal, cosigned by Kamala Harris, is an integral part of both their legacies.

    Gaza was going down anyway as it does not matter who is sitting as US president. I still don’t understand why Americans focus so much on overseas stuff and let their own people slowly drown, economically

    biden’s been a political figure my entire life and i remember being terrified of him because of the anti-gay rhetoric he espoused for decades and for reaching out to THOROUGHLY despicable people to help them in their fight against progress in things like school de-segregation.

    seeing him magically hailed as the most progressive presidential ally in history simply because of the toothless respect for marriage act and a pro-gay-marriage gaffe a decade earlier proved to me that political legacies are easily ignored and i expect that the gaza genocide will likewise be swept under the rug in the future like all american backed genocides usually are.
