@unclesam @jacklaridian He could maybe... not send illegally more bombs.
But okay, yes, we agree on that.
If Joe is going to say one thing publicly while doing another privately, then he can take his lumps and tell us about his secret heroism later. I don't think he's doing nothing; I think he's doing what he's done his entire career: keep everybody (especially his donors) happy. He's being a radical centrist, as he always has been. To be fair, I think he has done more to advance policies I value than any president in my lifetime (i.e., since Carter), but he has done the good things while doing some other bad things and ignoring some other things. That's a good description of most presidents (one exception I can think of), but it's not a reason to stop pushing for more good/less bad.
I'm not blaming Kamala for anything Joe did. Perhaps I hold her responsible for participating in the silencing of Palestinian or pro-Palestinian voices at the convention, but it's not even about that. I want change. She wants to be the greatest single-person agent of change on the planet, and I want to see more positive change. Overall, she's doing great, and seems likely to be one of the best presidents in a century, but none of that means I'm OK with a pretty clear agenda to silence the voices of a marginalized and relatively powerless minority group being murdered by the tens of thousands (now actually estimated hundreds of thousands) while we fund it. Yes, there are other genocides and horrible things, but I'm not aware of any we are directly funding to this extent. I want that to change.
I'm going to vote Kamala; the alternative is unthinkable. I'm not going to stop pointing out hypocrisy and massive missed opportunities in her actions, if I see them.
