I assume Biden must have spent his whole life wanting to be President.
And when he finally became one in his late 70s after decades in politics, he has blown it & become Genocide Joe & now risks losing to Trump.
Why? Is it because he's too steeped in the American/ Israel industrial/ military complex, donor interests & aggressive zionism to know or do otherwise.
But even that doesn't explain why he won't use his power & stop the slaughter.
When will enough be enough?

I was impressed by what my child was taught at primary school. It was about boundaries, staying safe, understanding the body & respect & acceptance. The kids had insights about gender & sexuality that my generation didn't have at that age.
Again Tories stoking gender & culture wars.
A ban is ridiculous.

@emmaaum You seem to be fine with ethnic cleansing and multiple displacements.. And genocide.

@emmaaum Why did I make an astounding leap? If 1.4 million are displaced again to Khan Younis or to Egypt why is that ok and not ethnic cleansing?

‘ reducing emissions was far cheaper than doing nothing and accepting more severe impacts. By 2050, it calculated mitigation costs – for example, from phasing out fossils and replacing them with renewable energy – to be $6tn dollars, which is less than a sixth of the median damage costs for that year of $38tn.’ https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/17/climate-crisis-average-world-incomes-to-drop-by-nearly-a-fifth-by-2050
