Way to completely miss the point. He's obviously there cuz he's the current US president.
If they wanted to dunk on biden specifically of course, they could've just pointed out how he's has been bypassing congress to send weapons to israel faster, or how he walked back the few sanctions on israeli settlers that were only for optics anyway since it was to pretend as if the state itself wasn't behind it, but this is just the most recent shit the US is doing.
Edit: Looks like Biden does agree with the move against the ICC too, so there's no need to bring up all the other shit he's done specifically.
Under the caption about something the House did...
If you're gonna be such a pedantic shitlib, should I edit the caption to be something from this article Linkerbaan mentioned? Since it's about this incident specifically.
Why go out of your way so much to try defending a fascist? Why do you have an image saved on your device to defend this piece of shit online?
I'd be Ok with changing that caption, don't blame Biden for the stupid shit the House is doing.
Linkerbaan's article isn't on this bill. Articles on this bill say he doesn't support it https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm5512l7yero
Again denouncing and sanctioning have differences. He wags his finger, but he is against punching them down.
Being pedantic and defending fascists is also very hot right now among shitlibs apparently
Replace the caption with any of the other shit biden specifically has done that they mentioned if you're this much of a redditor
I'm all for blaming Biden for things he did.
Sanctioning the ICC is not one of them and was done by his opposition.
Dems and reps are equally part of the ruling capitalist class and are the parties of capital. There is no real "opposition" between the two aside from optics.
And as you'd expect, Biden does of course agree with this move like another user mentioned.
75% of Democrats voted against this
100% of Republicans voted for
Dumbfucks: bOTh siDes!
Biden does not agree with this move. Denouncing is using words and sanctions are actions. Biden has implied that he opposes this bill and his administration have stated that they do not support sanctions. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm5512l7yero
There absolutely is opposition between the sides.
The right wants to take away womens rights.
The left wants to take away gun rights.
Just as a quick example.
? Of course there is opposition between the left and the right. What does that have to do with two right wing genocidal capitalist parties?
They are not both right wing.
Examples:
Left:
Student loan forgiveness.
Right:
Blocking student loan forgiveness.
Alternately:
Right:
Capital Punishment
Left:
Blocking Capital Punishment
Is it also "left wing" to bypass congress to send weapons to a genocidal state faster? Or denounce the ICC for actions against that state like in the post you're commenting on?
Education Dept. announces highest federal student loan interest rate in more than a decade
And the student loan interest rate has fuck all to do with the plans on the left to forgive student loans, plans which are continually blocked on the right.
You can't take a single issue and go "BoTh sIdEs aRe tHe sAmE" when they clearly are not.
The right wants to invade Mexico for gods sake!
