Because Trump would be better for the Palestinian people? Don't get me wrong, you're not off the mark on biden in the least, but until the Republicans can put up something other than buffoonery, make your choice in the primary then hold your nose in the general for the lesser of two evils. Welcome to first past the post
I am tired of having the same exact conversation every day.
Yall need to stop reciting the same verbatim 5 statements.
"He is committing genocide on the Palestinian people, but is better for the Palestinian people than Trump" is just such a deluded argument. Both spell eradication for the Palestinian people. Eradication is eradication.
We need to stop the eradication.
We'll keep repeating the same 5 statements because they're the truth. Like I said, you don't have to like it, but this is reality. Not voting for Biden is bad for the US. If you think your morals are stronger and more important than voting to help benefit the lives of millions, then you do you. It just means your selfish and pro fascism.
You also have the black and white take on geopolitics. There's more nuance to somethings than others. I'm appalled by what's happening in Palestine, and would love to drop all support for Israel. In fact, I work for a manufacturing company that is machining parts that will likely be used to kill innocent people over there. I'm actively trying to find a new job and that's one of the biggest driving factors. Unfortunately, I have bills and shit so I'm stuck until I'm not. I have no love for current events and decisions, but I'm far more concerned with the future of this country and our allies's future based on the upcoming election.
Keep chugging that kool aid.
Reap what you sow.
What exactly do you think I'm sowing?
You have two options for POTUS, that's it. Doesn't matter how hard you want a third option, there's two. One is exponentially better than the other one. You can vote for the better option and give the world a better shot at a better future, you can vote for the worse option which is bad for everyone, or you can not vote or vote third party, which is bad for everyone unless you were going to vote for Trump in the first place.
Those are facts, no way around it. You can cast whatever vote you want from you high horse. There's only one benefitial option though. Help Trump and Russia, or help the rest of the world. There's no in-between. If that doesn't click with you, you must either lack empathy or have zero understanding of how the world works.
You are trying to sow a Biden term.
Disenfranchised Democrats wont be mobilized by genocide. They will not vote for Biden.
You shilling for Biden keeps his grip on the DNC tight.
So I think you are sowing a Trump presidency, but you want to feel all smug and self-righteous during it. Because you backed the genocidal maniac who lost.
Any person with a soul would be challenging the DNC to produce a new candidate and/or encouraging any third party challenger who is against genocide to go for it.
Any person that thinks running anyone but the incumbent in this political climate or votes third party is a fucking moron. The facts are plain. Not being able to comprehend that you have two choices, and one is clearly better than the other says a lot about you. I could certainly link to a laundry list of great things Biden has accomplished the last 3 years, but you don't care. You are pro Trump, that's clear as day, I just don't understand how anyone can be so ignorant to how the real world works.
