    They didn’t ask because genocide is a US government thing, not a president thing. Good luck being against the industrial military complex AND becoming president of the US.

      You could also claim that serving the rich is a US government thing and not a president thing. Does that mean our votes mean nothing if the president is filtered through a system that only selects for a particular set of policies?

        There are some common policies they have to play ball with, and commonly shared interest like Israel. You just hear about them less.

        Im not saying it shouldn’t be questioned, it’s just not a great top 5 you want to send to your boss because both candidates will avoid the question/lie

      No it is a president thing. Biden approved the weapons shipment. It was not voted on.

          No party has ever bowed down for israel this hard. There are instances of israel putting on the Genocide hat before and it has always been shut down after a few thousand innocent Palestinians were murdered.

            Ok there, you might want to go read that again. Biden can barely shove money in for Ukraine because they need to agree with conservatives about sending to Israel. It’s the entire machine that wants this, youre just putting it all on Biden to make you feel better. If you didnt make shit up, you might not be so angry
