Nope, but there are people who will just not vote. I'm not saying it's right, but Biden's willingness to be accomplice to genocide is damaging many people's faith in the democratic process. Hopefully they vote for Bernie in the primaries instead of just being mad about it on the internet.
What? He's what of the few US senators who demanded the US push for a ceasefire.
He literally stated just yesterday that he doesn't believe a ceasefire is possible with "Hamas".

You should read the whole thing.
Edit: He also said this:
Saying you doubt one will happen isn't the same as saying you don't want one to happen.
Source? Last video I watched he was giving the "I don't see the point of a ceasefire" line.
Don't confuse "humanitarian pause" with "ceasefire", they're completely different - "humanitarian pause" means a few hours/days off, and then starting it right back up.
He said he can't see a permanent ceasefire holding up with Hamas, not that he doesn't see the point of a ceasefire. He said this later:
Honestly, I saw his most recent interview, he was supporting the continuation of hostilities (urging restraint and all that) until Hamas was removed. Then I watched the hour long Norman Finkelstein response to it, going over his premises in excruciating detail - https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/11/06/18860126.php I don't think your portrayal of his statements is accurate.
