Yeah

"Genocide Joe" seems like the perfect republican plot to make people abstain from voting because the deliberately leave out how Trump would make matters 100 times worse.

Biden is constantly challenging Netanyahu while Trump would deliberately hand them a full and permanent occupation of Palestine on a silver plate.

People already forgot that it was trump who moved the embassy to Jerusalem basically destroying the USAs support for a two state solution?

Yes it's actually quite despicable. Anyone using the brain dead slogan of genocide Joe is literally downplaying genocide. This isn't a defense of biden. Biden is making his own problems here. What he is doing is enabling. Not committing genocide. Even then he actually has been pushing diplomatically for it to stop. I get it though. Enabling Biden or enabling Joe doesn't really have the propaganda punch. Not like Bibi The Butcher of Bethlehem.

People don't want diplomacy. They want what they want. And they don't care or understand how they could get it. It's easy to make demands. Anyone can do it. Getting things done is a lot harder. This isn't too attack anyone putting pressure on Biden to put pressure on Netanyahu. Just the irresponsible ones making it genocide belittling propaganda slogans.

It would be the ideal platform for the GOP to run on...if they weren't also in AIPAC's pocket like the Democrats and Biden.

The GOP isn't going to run on it. They're going to use it as a tool to get people who would otherwise vote against them, to not vote or to vote third party. It isn't about what their stance on the issue is.

Oh, you bet. Republicans are getting a big fat chub over this topic. This war in Gaza is the best thing that could have ever happened to them in the year long run up to the election. Wouldn't doubt that China and Russia are also responsible for spreading the message to sow discord and doubt. For every person they successfully convince to stay home on election day, that shortens that gap between Trump and Biden by one less vote in Trump's favor, not to mention the even more important down ballot races.

Forget trying to explain this to people on Lemmy, though. They're not interested in listening.
