The president promised he would champion values like universal rights and the dignity of every person. Then the Israel-Hamas war began.

    I have my doubts it will matter. Obama got a nobel peace prize while being a war monger. Poor Joe, might not get a nobel prize because of the genocide. Damn, sucks to be him.

    Biden was doing decent until Dark Brandon fully took over and he turned into Genocide Joe, a literal cartoon villain.

    I believe he ruined any such claim with his work on criminal justice legislation long before he endorsed genocide of a captive population.

      Reality is more complicated than that. The crime bill and the war on drugs at the time had significant support in the black community, including political and religious leaders.

        …that has no bearing on the fact that they’re both bad policy as measured by their impact on this country.

    At what point could he have made such a claim?
