'No votes for Genocide Joe': Thousands demand ceasefire at DC pro-Palestinian protest

[Beastly Boy]

WASHINGTON — Thousands of demonstrators converged opposite the White House on Saturday to call for an end to Israeli military action against Hamas, as part of a global day of action against the war in Gaza.

People in the capital held aloft signs questioning US President Joe Biden’s viability as a presidential candidate because of his staunch support for Israel in the nearly 100-day war against Hamas. Some of the signs read: “No votes for Genocide Joe,” “Biden has blood on his hands” and “Let Gaza live.”

Does "genocide" mean anything anymore? Or has it been completely normalized to become a meaningless household slur now, like "apartheid" and "Zionism" had become meaningless?

The "language of resistance" is getting ridiculouser and ridiculouser with each passing day. And yes, I am normalizing the term "ridiculouser" despite its patently nonsensical grammar. That's MY "language of resistance", so sue me!

[Drum]

1. Fools.

[paleotn]

2. So they'ed rather have a fascist America instead.

Protest votes worked so well in 2000.

[D23MIURG23]

24. I swear there are people on the hard left who want a fascist America.

That way their insane anti-American bullshit won't seem so insane.

I just keep hoping they are relatively rare as a proportion of the overall electorate. The amount of stupid you see in the era of the internet is frightening.

[Maru Kitteh]

26. I hadn't thought of it, but sadly you make sense.

I've never been more genuinely worried for the times ahead.

[betsuni]

28. +1

[Lunabell]

3. So, they're gonna vote for the orange blobfather, then?

Idiots.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

6. Or sit out the election,

which would still be a vote for Benedict Donald.

[Lunabell]

7. Idiots!!!

The only mulims that orange asshole cares about are the rich Saudis.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

8. So true.

These idiots don't seem to understand that if Benedict is returned to power, they will be in his crosshairs with no one to protect them from his anti muslim hatred.

[dlk]

4. Joe isn't leading any troops in Israel

This smells like troll farm propaganda from Russia/China/Iran.

[thomski64]

16. .. i think the algorithms and bots..

..have exacerbated and focused this attitude. But it is very real among young people that I know. I think the President Biden has lost some of them and also Arab Americans in Michigan (enough to be concerning). I have discussed this at length with someone who attended the DC rally, and after granting that the US is complicit in this disaster, it has been so since 1948. There are at a dozen other big as fuck issues. Would Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner be any better? Not to mention that loss of democracy thing? Crickets..

[Efilroft Sul]

19. I have friends in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who are willing to throw away democracy for Gaza. They have lost their minds.

I told them to stay away from boxcars in 2025.

"Genocide Joe"? Please.

[EllieBC]

5. They really should charter a plane

And fly to Qatar. Demand the Hamas leader abide by a ceasefire.

If they make it that far, continue into Gaza and demand Hamas military leaders there abide by a ceasefire.

Oh wait. That’s dangerous and they can’t make an IG post out of it.

[Cha]

22. Rec... TY!

[gab13by13]

9. I would remind, everyone,

Trump stated that he would deport every Palestinian living in the US.

[GuppyGal]

10. Right! Then go ahead and vote for the guy who invented the "Muslim Ban" ...........the stupidity

is panoramic.

[Historic NY]

15. He's got Stephen Miller warning up in the batters box.

Most of these people are like being in short attention span theater. They know nothing about the continuing conflict, thousands of terrorist bombings, suicide bombers, rockets that have plagued Israel for decades before they were even born.

They don't seem to question how miles and miles of tunnels are built right under them w/o even an opposition by the people.
Think of all that foreign aid sent to Gaza that went to Hamas. There are no innocents in war, this was an unprovoked attack on Israelis.

[multigraincracker]

17. The big problem is

BiBi and TFG are cut from the same mold. Both stir up religion to push hate.

[tritsofme]

11. Complete pieces of shit. They only embarrass themselves.

[eShirl]

12. giving him the ol' "Hey, hey, LBJ" treatment, eh?

[Hekate]

33. Worse, because this is not even our war. We have no troops there. These people are bottom level stupid.

[FalloutShelter]

13. Russian psyops aimed at the Left's grievance crowd.

It's a win-win for white supremacists and Nationalists:

Amps up antisemitism
Divided Democrats against themselves
It helps the racist traitor! Helps Vlad.

[Freethinker65]

14. If they are truly single issue voters, they will be voting for neither the Republican nor the Democratic candidate.

They are free to peacefully protest.

Did anyone ask who they are going to vote for? Do they find the Republican stance on supporting non-Christians better?? I think not.

[CousinIT]

18. "No Votes" for Joe Biden means electing TRUMP and he will be EVEN WORSE.

Have these morons though this through AT ALL?

The STUPID is astounding.

[mcar]

20. Fcking idiots

[bottomofthehill]

21. Morons

Cutting off their nose in spite of their face. Vote for President Biden, have a voice of reason although one that strongly supports Israel, vote for Trump, get deported, let no further students or other Muslim people in the country, and cut aid to places like Gaza. With friends like this……

[Cha]

23. Trolls for the Traitor... Putin Puppets in the Streets.

[Happy Hoosier]

25. Dishonest assholes.

I've just about had it with these morons.

[BlueTsunami2018]

27. A bunch of useful idiots for Putin.

I can’t stand these morons.

[Martin Eden]

29. The next president will be a Democrat or a Republican

ANY Republican -- especially The Fascist Goon -- would be far worse for the Palestinians.

Anyone who fails to understand that is stupid.

[gulliver]

30. It doesn't hurt Dems politically to be put down by assholes

It actually does us good, I would argue.

Some worthless, rude, masked jerks who block traffic and engage in acts of vandalism don't like us? What's wrong with that? I'd be much more worried if they did like us. I'm glad they don't. I don't like them either. No one does.

For every one of them who can't find their way to support the Democratic Party, that's too bad. If they're not Democrats, we don't support them either. Putting down Biden disqualifies them as Democrats. We can use their opposition, combined with their well-earned unpopularity, to recruit new loyal Democrats.

[The Wizard]

31. Tik Tok

has turned them into useful idiots.

[Hekate]

32. Excuse me, but that is just FILTHY. Those idiots. Those fools & tools. Those fckrs.

[Mountainguy]

34. Anybody going with those chants

wasn't going to vote for Biden anyway, and likely didn't vote for him last time either.

[lpbk2713]

35. They don't GAF about Gaza, Hamas or Israel.

They are GOP flunkies.
