No, it's not. You don't sub out a candidate with someone who, nine months before the election, has no interest in running for the office. That's a pipe dream doing nothing but distracting you from the reality that it's going to be Biden vs. Trump, and despite how imperfect you feel Biden is, you're going to have to vote for him, because the alternative is fascist authoritarianism.

Come November, Sanders will be voting for Biden. I suggest you follow his lead.

Whose vote is more important to you, the people who would disagree if Biden kept supporting Israel’s genocidal actions or the people who support them?

You only get to pick one group.

Absolutely irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that Biden will be the nominee against Trump, regardless of what happens in Palestine. Doing anything besides voting for him is holding the door open for fascism to take over when Trump takes power.

You either do the bare minimum to stop Trump by voting for his only viable opponent, or you let him come to power with your blessing. Those are the only two options in November.

I might vote for Haley, I haven’t heard her calling for genocide on either side.

Besides she’s not Biden, not trump, and pissing off and trolling trump.

Last time I voted with my head I chose the wrong guy and he said yeehaw to killing him some brown folks
