    Biden HAS TO listen to the American people. And the American people are demanding that he do something. If he doesn’t, they will put in someone who does.

    Sure the GOP has forced the issue into people’s heads. But Biden HAS TO face that reality.

        He’s fucked up with Gaza. It’s the one thing I think he has absolutely failed on. But I don’t think the politics are that straightforward with it. Demanding a total ceasefire probably isn’t good politics. And they wouldn’t stop anyways.

        Demanding a stoppage to the genocide is definitely good politics. But Biden has been a behind the scenes president which works better for influencing Republicans who will dig their heels in if called out. But it has failed here and he needs to acknowledge that. They haven’t listened to anything from him since the hostage release.

          A total ceasefire is the only way to stop the genocide. Surely you realize this?

          Also, we can’t possibly know what’s happening behind the scenes. What his administration is saying is happening behind the scenes could very well be a total lie. Until I hear him publicly demand a ceasefire I’m going to assume that he supports the genocide.

          Surely you can see how this comment is a severe contradiction to your original assertion, yes?

          Biden HAS TO listen to the American people.

          Does he ‘HAVE TO’ or not?

      Democrats gave Republicans everything they wanted on the border in exchange for funding Ukraine

      And then orange man said no, so the Republicans said “well now I am not doing it”

      And so here we are, with both sidesists screaming that Biden has to do something about the “border crisis” when the Republicans have shot down their own bills

        Both sides of voters were already screaming at Biden.

        If you think Republicans got everything they wanted, you’re really not paying attention to what they want.
