- Biden doesn't need my support right now. He needs it on election day. Until that day I'm going to criticize his actions (or lack there of) and how he runs his campaign (as is my right as an American) because he's doing a bad job (again) at making people want to vote for him.
  
  It shouldn't be this difficult to beat an open fascist like Trump, but Biden is putting forth only token efforts to actually earn votes. He can stop payments to Israel. He can stop weapon shipments to Israel. That would earn him votes on the left, but he's too busy courting the right to bother. Too busy arguing with the ICJ that what's going on isn't genocide.
  
  Yeah, Nikki Haley signed some bombs. Joe Biden signed the check that paid for them (metaphorically).

  Excellent take. We can all be in agreement that Biden deserves criticism and needs to change positions, and then vote for him unhappily on election day if nothing changes. We don't have to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

  Better the devil we know than the ones explicitly telling us they will be worse.

- Who said anything about voting for a republican?

  Context clues my guy, when my feed is flooded with Genocide Joe memes because it's an election year and various interests are trying to dissuade people from voting so Republicans take power, it's pretty easy to tell what this meme is doing.

  You're at a work retreat for a month, and management is taking a vote on what to get for food. Word is that everyone else is about 50/50 split between BBQ ribs, and pepperoni pizza. You're a vegetarian, what you'd really like is Indian food, but the only ones interested are a handful of other vegetarians. If ribs win, you starve, if pizza wins, you spend the next month picking off pepperonis. How do you vote?
  
  Edit: lots of downvotes, but not a single answer. What a shock.

- Which candidates did that? Or do you not mean literally? 🤔

  No I mean literally. Nikki Haley is signing bombs headed to Israel, most likely for use in Rafah, writing Finish Them on the bombs.

- The bombs don't kill as many children if you (edit:) don't sign them.

I intend to criticize Biden's position today, and every day henceforth until the conflict is over.

That is independent of my vote for him. I will criticize him on election day and hopefully on his inauguration for a second term.
