Over 100 comments and nobody mentioned Biden spoke approvingly of a union leader during the SOTU

And even if Trump and Biden were identical in Gaza, there's also ~20 million LGBT people in the United States and a domestic genocide would actually be bad too (even if Americans are culturally imperialist or something).

"Spoiler effect" is so dumb. like oh, i'm the bad guy for voting for the candidate that you agree is better than the one you voted for??

give me a break. i'm literally not the one to blame for that.

i agree the spoiler effect is dumb. and you’re not the bad guy, the system is.

there are solutions to the spoiler effect problem but when seeking to save lives it tends to help to work within the bounds of the (broken) system.

The worst part is that the US supporting Israel is a huge liability at this point for everyone involved. A regional war would harm all parties. There might not be be an Israel if they don't stop their genocide. All US investment will have gone to waste and the entire region will be devastated. Your enemies can't win if everyone is destroyed 💀
