This is why I'm not all that concerned in the recent polls that Biden is losing support among Progressives, who tend to be sympathetic to the Palestinians. What are they going to do, vote for Trump and his friends, who are even worse? If Trump does win, do they really think they would be listened to?
I doubt a single person in Florida who thinks that Biden and the party he leads is not taking their side on this issue would vote for this person instead.
Could just stay home. Maybe a bunch of us are tired of voting for people whose only qualifications is they aren't the other person.
But that's entirely my point. These people who are complaining that Biden isn't taking their side are at risk having an administration who considers them all to be terrorists to take over if they sit this one out. I suppose they can take solace in the fact that they stuck to their principles, even if the Trump Administration sends them all to re-education camps.
Sometimes the perfect is the enemy of the good.
There aren't good options. There's genocide lite and genocide delux.
I will not vote for genocide, and if you vote for genocide you are complicit.
Not acting is still a choice.
It's a choice to not vote for genocide. You can tell yourself pretty lies, but if you vote for Biden you are a genocide supporter.
Purposefully withholding your vote in the general election is a selfish/narcissistic act. No matter what wordplay you engage, not giving support to the lesser of two evils leads to better outcomes for the greater of them -- and pain and suffering for the most vulnerable. But you get the comfort of hugging your pristine principles**
**and La Revolución is NOT happening in time to help in any meaningful way before uncountable death and suffering -- stop that BS and grow up
Voting for genocide makes you a genocide supporter. Deal with it.
No ceasefire, no votes.
Every time I hear this I have to do some math, play a word puzzle, or some other mental exercise to make sure I don't catch The Stupid. If casting a vote for Biden equals support for genocide, then anything anyone in a civilized society does could be said to be the same. Vote for anyone? The joke's on you, genocide supporter, you helped a different genocide supporter get elected. Do you go to work? You failed again; You're making someone else money so they can vote for a genocide supporter. Do you pay Taxes, you genocide ~~supporter~~funder?
Protest votes are for the primary; go ahead and vote for Gandhi McJesus then. The general is the team play. And if you don't vote for the lesser of two evils you're helping the larger evil get elected, you genocide supporter, it just lets you smugly deflect blame.
You can vote for people who don't support genocide! They exist.
We are all complicit in our own ways and we have a moral duty to rebel against our genocidal government. Good job, you just made an argument for revolution lol
Democrats would oppose genocide if Trump was president, which actually results in harm reduction. How do you square that circle?
