you don't think calling the man desperately attempting to pull israel back Genocide Joe is gop astroturfing?

like you can assemble an entire argument about the primary process but ignore that aspect?

goddamn that's a useful idiot

He has not been desperately trying to pull Israel back, and people with a modicum of critical thinking skills have properly identified that he has not and are urging him to do so. That is not astroturfing, that is a fact and that is why people are pushing for him to use his outsized influence to end the genocide. Not just talk and send more weapons to kill Palestinian civilians. You can see why people might call him that, they want the genocide to end now, before more Palestinians are killed.

You are the useful idiot. 30,000+ civilians have been murdered, it’s a crime against humanity and it must stop. Do not urge it on by being desperately uninformed.
