Lies. You can register your disapproval. I just don’t want you to get Trump re-elected, which we are headed towards. If you thought Gaza was a genocide now, wait for Trump.
There is no way of expressing disapproval with Biden’s support for Netanyahu’s genocide that isn’t interpreted in bad faith by pro-genocide centrists as helping Trump. Not one.

Where did I do any of that?
