The Biden administration, in alliance with the fascist-led Republican Party, is criminalizing political opposition to the Gaza genocide, the greatest war crime of the 21st century.
Biden is a functionary of capital but does wield real power. If he wanted to, he could force Israel to end the assault on Gaza.
The fact that he doesn't want to do that is important, and is part of why he's supported by capital, but it doesn't change the fact that he bears responsibility and that if someone else had that power they might not have that blood on their hands. Biden should be tried and found guilty of war crimes, for example.
Also Biden's history and personality do make a difference. Capital shapes broad strokes and only occasionally makes specific asks. Biden is a raging Zionist and bigot that gladly supports the state department, intelligence, propaganda, and military apparatus in their backing of Israel. He appoints relatively competent people that work together.
That there are hundreds of ghouls waiting in the wings doesn't change the personal monstrosity of it.
