Maybe I wasn't clear, as I was trying to follow the metaphor of Biden being the equivalent of "eating your vegetables". Biden has been sending arms to Israel as it commits genocide, publicly locking arms with them no matter the attrocity of the day, and actively protecting them from consequences in the UN. So he's not just some boring politician doing a good job even if he's not inspiring. He's a actively contributing to crimes against humanity. Supporting Biden, and by extension genocide in Gaza, just to avoid Trump is not like eating vegetables, which are not tasty but good for you.
it's also important that rhetoric aside, his actions are very clearly supportive. Funding, arms sales/shipments, blocking UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire.
Given that Biden could* veto any funding bill (that'd probably be suicide given the riders,); is the one who decides to use veto powers at the UN security council.... and went out of his way to expedite arms sales....
...there is zero question in my mind he's 100% israel as it commits genocide.
