So how do you suppose abstaining helps stop the genocide?

Are you honestly lucky enough to have nothing else on the line in this election worth fighting for? Wish I was in your shoes if so.

I don't intend to abstain. I just think your argument is stupid and counter productive. Any argument against criticizing a politician who is doing something horrific is stupid and counter productive.

It blows my mind that you started your rant with "I'll take genocide" and still think you're the good guy

This entire argument is about the idea of not voting in November because somehow that will fix Palestine, not that politicians are above criticism. If you somehow missed that detail, I apologize on behalf of OP.

Though you also missed the earlier part where I said Biden isn't my choice of an ideal candidate, but good to know that you're no less competent at lifting statements outside of their context to moralize from a position of self-superiority.
