    So…he can’t cut off the aid, because the optics are bad? That seems like a very, very poor excuse for supporting genocide. Also, the optics for supporting genocide are not good, either.

      It’s not purely the optics, but the fallout from it all. Major loss of support means Trump wins and the bombing continues or even gets worse, so as another user put it elsewhere “Biden is dealing with a hell of a trolly problem.” No matter whether he pulls the lever or not people will suffer :(

        Major loss of support from whom? The pro-genocide lobby? He should be running away from that endorsement, not towards it.
