Kbin/Mbin (and possibly others?) definitely have the edge here since those platforms make votes public (only admins can see them on Lemmy). So, if you want to confirm what I’m saying here, go view some of these posts from Kbin/Mbin.

Every time one of the “usual suspects” says stuff like this in the comments, there will later be posts detailing how Biden is doing (or at least earnestly trying to do) exactly the things they’re saying he needs to be doing (oR ElSe i WiLl noT voTE anD NEithER ShoULD yoU!!!11!!). 100% of the time, those posts are downvoted by these same “usual suspect” accounts.

What gives? They have very strong opinions about how he should run his administration, so you’d think they’d appreciate him doing what they’ve been so helpfully suggesting. Unless…it was never about the issues at all.

That thin veneer of concern they’re hiding behind is not as thick as they think it is and is quite easy to see through. Now you know where to look.

Edit: Please don’t name and shame any specific users. That may violate the community or LW rules. We all know who most of the “usual suspects” are.

    His weakest point is Israel, but looking back I’m not sure what he could have done to stop the war.

    Are you kidding?

    He could have not used his veto power to prevent the United Nations from intervening in the war, and he could have not given Israel munitions and billions of dollars of war funding.

      Netanyahu has consistently said that the war on Hamas would continue even if Israel has to do it alone. I don’t agree with continuing to arm Israel, but it’s not like they don’t already have more weapons and ammunition than they need to continue to wage war in Gaza.

      Netanyahu doesn’t even seem to care about the Israeli hostages. The war keeps him in power, so the war will continue. Biden can’t force him to make a different decision.

        With what supplies? We’re shipping them everything from bullets to tank rounds. We’re still holding the bombs back, and suddenly there’s a lot less news about block busters being dropped in Gaza. Almost like they depend on us for their supply.
