Here’s Bernie not saying the word “genocide”
I strongly disagree with Mr. Biden on the question of U.S. support for Israel’s horrific war against the Palestinian people. The United States should not provide Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing extremist government with another nickel as it continues to create one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history.
. . .
Supporters of Mr. Biden can speak proudly about a good and decent Democratic president
who is committing genocide
with a record of real accomplishment.
. . . of committing genocide
. . .
We battled to defend women’s rights in the face of moves by Trump-appointed jurists to roll back reproductive freedom and deny women the right to control their own bodies.
Battled and lost, and in such a way as to make the “battle” part seem implausible
. . .
So, yes, Mr. Biden has a record to run on.
of committing genocide
. . .
This election offers a stark choice on issue after issue.
except on genocide, where the candidates are united
If Mr. Biden and his supporters focus on these issues — and refuse to be divided and distracted — the president will rally working families to his side in the industrial Midwest swing states and elsewhere and win the November election. And let me say this as emphatically as I can: For the sake of our kids and future generations, he must win.
But not for Palestinian kids and future generations. Fuck them, I guess.
After 2016 and 2020 Sanders was probably the only person in the last 100 years that could have built an independent working class party/movement around himself that might have had the power to fracture capital’s stranglehold on the electoral system. To throw that away to openly support Biden at this moment is beyond pathetic.
