Well for me personally, I get to tell Biden what to do because hes supposed to represent me. If I lived in Isreal I’d probably be yelling about Bibi and wouldn’t say anything about Biden. I have no power, not even theoretical, over Bibi.
Criticizing Biden is fine. There’s more nuance to what I’m saying than that. The phrase “genocide joe” illustrates it perfectly for me. A weird trump-style nickname that is supposed to pin the whole thing on him. He should act very differently, but that doesn’t make it entirely a Biden thing.
Fwiw I try to not say that phrase myself anymore and instead if I bring it up ill say financier of genocide, because thats more direct, less charged and not nearly as debatable as the other one, So I’m not gonna argue against distaste for the nickname, but personally I’m neutral to it which could be why I end up on the ‘other side’ of some of these discussions. I guess I just feel like some people need to hear that, but I also recognize that not everyone is going to take it with enough nuance for it to be good.

I appreciate this response. Thank you for being a nuanced human.
