      I’ll never fucking understand it. They claim to care, but he will be substantially worse, and also make their lives directly worse on top of it.

        I get it. Nobody wants to actively vote for a guy supporting genocide. But they need to grow up and realize that if they can’t make a good choice, they need to make the better choice, no matter how much it sucks that we’re at this point.

          One supports it (probably because he can’t please everyone)

          The other would gleefully assist in the genocide

            I think Biden would please a lot more people if he just didn’t pick a side. Nobody I talk to, no matter where on the political spectrum they land, likes him supporting Israel.

              Sadly the side was chosen before he was even VP. The U.S. has been sending money and weapons for decades.

          Supporting genocide is not a matter of “growing up”.

          Dems have reached the end of the “lesser of two evils” strategy. It turns out literal genocide is the point at which people no longer respond that rhetoric, weird huh?

          If you don’t want to actively vote for a guy supporting genocide, then exercise your right to not do that by picking a third party candidate that best aligns with your interests and vote for them. Disparaging the people whose votes you absolutely have to have isn’t going to persuade them to vote for the person you’re voting for. Just makes you look silly.

        There is no “worse” than full on, reigns free, genocide. Biden isn’t just doing nothing he’s supplying the genocide. The only way it could be worse is if US troops were activated to help.

        It’s a bullshit talking point to pretend Trump could do worse on this issue (especially since it is never accompanied with any specifics about how he’d be worse on this issue). Biden is full genocide support, you might not like hearing that and knowing your vote will serve as an endorsement for continued Democratic complicity in genocide, but that’s what it is and is exactly why people simply cannot support Biden without him taking action to reverse his course.

        You might be willing to excuse it, many aren’t, especially those who have literal family members being killed by US bombs right now. There are no rhetorical gymnastics that make it ok.

          Hahaha! Jesus fucking christ, what are you, twelve? Was the first illegitimate trump administration happening while you learned colors and letters? You have got to be fucking joking with this garbage. Nobody can give specifics on how he’d be worse! HAH! For fuck’s sake. If you’re not from America, ok, but otherwise - please. There have been many cogent arguments as to how he’d be worse - do you need help finding them? Are you actually, in good faith, asking? Because I doubt it. And if it’s even a question to you whether trump can manage a competent foreign relations situation, you’re either being disingenuous or comically ignorant.
