    Why should he “care about Muslims” any more than any other group? Would your opinion be the same that he should care about Christians? Jews? Buddhists?

    The president of the USA is supposed to care about Americans.

    Also Biden is not even slightly anti-abortion, wtf. Biden is a Catholic and would not personally choose to abort a child of his own, but as the President he supports the right to choose in service to the office and not to his personal beliefs.

    This is what it means to be President, to do what is right for the people even if it goes against your own opinions. Did Trump really lower our expectations that badly?

      Since he unwaveringly supports the Zionist regime because they’re Jews, it seems reasonable to conclude that his support of some ethnicities but not other makes him a racist.

      I do agree that the POTUS is supposed to care about Americans (independently of ethnicity).

      That is however not what Biden is doing - he’s favoring some over others based on ethnicity (and money, like the vast majority of US Presidents).

        He supports Israel because they’re our only real ally in that region of the world. It almost doesn’t matter what they do, we’ll continue to support them on that alone unless and until we get another significant ally in the Middle East.

          Sending 2000lb bombs - well known for their massive collateral effects and hence innocent civilian deaths when used in an urban area - to a nation that’s bombing a city and had by then already killed tens of thousands of civilians there, is well beyond merelly “supporting” them and well into supporting the Genocide itself.

          Merelly “Supporting an Ally” that’s doing what Israel is doing would at most go up to the US vetos at the UN Security Council and even that would only go so far and by the 10000th dead children would have changed from veto to abstention.

          The smartest “Ally supporting” move for the US would’ve been to turn absolutelly neutral at around the 2nd or 3rd month of the Genocide.

          (PS: This last one is actually what we saw with all other nations out there which saw Israel as allies, so most Western nations except the US, UK, and Germany - after the 7th of October, when pretty much all of them came out supporting Israel, as over time it became more and more clear that the Israeli actions were not defense but outright Genocide, they turned from supporters to in most cases absolutelly neutral and in some cases against them. Merelly “Supporting an Ally” is what the likes of France did, not what the American Biden Administration did).

          The damage that this shit is doing for American soft power around the World must be immense - not even Trump managed to project in the minds of the well-educated the World over the impression that the US willingly and knowingly gives Genocidal nations bombs to murder children with.

      As far as Muslims, I am responding to the people on the tracks in the meme. Biden has been vocally anti-abortion for most of his career, he is only trying to walk that back in the last few years. Even then, best case scenario, he is refusing to try to make progress on that issue to use it as a mobilization issue. If it is not an issue of legislation, but only the Supreme Court reversing the precedent, then you have to keep voting Democrat for a generation before progress can be attempted. That is what it means to be Democrat.

      No, Biden did a number on me. It showed that Democrats and Liberals have absolutely no principles or beliefs. They are fine with a senile, racist, rapist, right-wing, war criminal, genocidaire president as long as he has a D next to his name and doesn’t have an orange spray tan. Now Liberals think it is not fascist for ICE to put more people in concentration camps, the president to continue building the border wall, ignore human rights agreements to turn away asylum seekers, arm and fund genocide, continue interventions in the middle east, etc. It laid bare that all of the Liberal’s objections to Trump were based not on principles nor positions, just that it was Trump doing it.
