    The amount of downvotes on this is absurd

    Imagine being an American Palestinian with dead family in Gaza being told to vote for Biden because he’s the lesser evil.

    Dude would probably sucker punch you in the face for such an asanine idea.

    Not to mention by the time elections end, the genocide will already have gone though it’s climax and ended with who knows how many dead. The pressure to put on Biden needs to happen now, and it’s easy to do because it’s election year.

    If he still refuses to budge then he loses the election. That’s a good thing because a genocide supporter really shouldn’t be president.

      Biden IS the lesser evil. The fact that you and I don’t like that doesn’t matter a jot. The alternative is immeasurably worse. Biden is an evil man who supports Genocide and the alternative is worse and because of the shitty FPP voting system, you should vote for Biden.

      Yea we get it, you are new to US elections. Let me give you a tip: every goddamn election is the choice between two lesser evils. No candidate can court all issues for all voters. The propped up 2p system ensures this.

      Until we shift US politics when it comes to 2 parties, the electoral college, ranked choice voting, and getting money out of politics (citizens united rulings), this will ALWAYS be the case.

      Voting red ain’t gonna help you in that regard, only blue cares about democracy right now.

      Imagine being an American Palestinian indeed: vote for Biden who is trying to hold Israel back or vote for Trump who is cheering on bibi and his genocide?

      Imagine being an American Ukrainian: vote for Biden who is invested in ukraines survival or Trump who wants to split up nato and genocide the remaining Ukrainians?

      It’s so neat how you get to choose which genocide matters btw.
