@Lassielmr but that still misses my question of how would it play out? What would happen?

It sounds like you're asking for a symbolic gesture, fine, but what would it do? Just be purely symbolic?

@alexlac51

@volkris @alexlac51 that may be the case, indeed the case in most declarations as Biden is the only one who can stop this. But you are not considering the people & emotional side of this. His distinct lack of empathy for those in Gaza has been palpable hence why there is now turmoil in the party. This lack of balance will not be forgotten by many voters. His political naivety in not tempering his language at the beginning is biting him hard.

@Lassielmr I just frankly don't see much point in purely symbolic actions.

If the original comment above laid out a way that there would be substantial, concrete improvement. Then I would want to hear about that, but if they are complaining that somebody didn't make the right symbolic gestures, well...
