President Joe Biden and his administration have been accused of being complicit in enabling a famine in Gaza by failing to sufficiently act on repeated warnings from their own experts and aid agencies.

The former officials say the US also provided diplomatic cover for Israel to create the conditions for famine by blocking international efforts to bring about a ceasefire or alleviate the crisis, making the delivery of aid almost impossible.

“This is not just turning a blind eye to the man-made starvation of an entire population, it is direct complicity,” former State Department official Josh Paul, who resigned over US support for the war, told The Independent.

Not voting for Biden is helping Trump and the GOP.

There is no making assumptions here.

Yes, there fucking is. I'm voting for Biden. You assumed I support Trump because and only because I don't love genocide like you and every other centrist always has and always will.

I’ve already agreed with you that the Genocide is terrible.

And I agreed with you that Trump is worse than Biden. You responded by calling me a trumpist.

The Genocide needs to end. Biden must do more to end any support or the situation completely. Trump and the GOP must not gain the Office of the President of the United States.

This is my position, which I openly stated, and you replied by calling me a fucking trumpist. If you don't like it when people ignore your words and make up abhorrent positions to ascribe to you, good. Tell your genocide supporting buddies what that's like.

Still calling us "genocide lovers", even after my explanation. Bah. No good faith. Just rudeness and labels. Whatever, man. If you want to act like a MAGA Cult member by attempting to incite anger through the usage of extreme abrasiveness and offensive labeling do your thing. We're on the same page, even if you are a jackass about it.

I wouldn't be doing it if you hadn't responded to me agreeing with you by calling me a trumpist.

I was responding in kind. I was doing exactly what you did, directly quoting you in one case.

You don't like it very much, do you?
