politics

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Biden has faced immense pressure from members of his own party over the United States' policies in light of the surprise Hamas attacks on Israel on October 7, which killed about 1,200 people and resulted in roughly 240 hostages, including some Americans.

In a letter published Wednesday on Medium, an anonymous group of Biden's campaign staffers demanded the president call for a ceasefire in Gaza, citing concerns that not shifting his policy on the issue could hurt his 2024 chances.

"Like so many others, we continue to be devastated by Hamas's attack against Israeli civilians on October 7th—it was a vile assault, one that touched the consciousness of the country," the letter read.

"Biden for President staff have seen volunteers quit in droves, and people who have voted blue for decades feel uncertain about doing so for the first time ever, because of this conflict," the Medium letter read.

The staffers' letter comes on the same day a U.S. Department of Education policy adviser told the Associated Press that they submitted their resignation in protest of the president's handling of the war in Gaza.

According to the progressive Working Families Party, 64 members of Congress—all Democrats—have also called for a ceasefire or cessation of Israel's military actions in Gaza.

The original article contains 693 words, the summary contains 209 words. Saved 70%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Though I agree that Biden should be punished for what he's doing there, I would please like to remind everyone that the alternative guy would probably just chose to "nuke Gaza or something, problem solved, right?" Or some other insanity like that. Please please, vote Biden, as bad as he is

Here's the thing: Politics is dead.

You know what else has broad popular support?

Medicare for All

Free college

Well funded public housing

There's a much longer list, but you get the idea. It's not what both parties are the same ... it's that Democrats use the same tired excuses for not doing what is popular and needed.

In 2024 not only are we going to be asked to once again ignore that Democrats are unable to fulfill the most basic functions of a political party, but we're going to be told we need to vote for somebody who tacitly approved of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

That's a bridge too far for me. Saying that the other guy is worse may be true, but it still doesn't take away the reality that the Democratic nominate for POTUS is a genocidal monster.
