If the DNC hadn’t steamrolled Bernie, I’m reasonably certain that he would be handling Gaza and Ukraine a bit differently. Just based on what he’s said and voted on as a senator.
Yep. Therefore we’d better vote for the other fellows, the ones who wish to do more genocide even faster while beating the shit out of protesters with the National Guard.
I agree that genocide is horrendous, but you seem to be missing the fact that your alternatives are voting for the candidate that has publicly pressured Israel to stop, and withheld weapons, or voting for the candidate that wants to arrest and deport people that oppose the genocide, and has actively urged it on.
Not voting means you don’t care who wins: The candidate trying, at least somewhat, to reduce the scale of the genocide, or the candidate urging for it to increase in scale.
In that case, you are complicit if the latter wins, and the genocide gets worse.
No, Biden is complicit. If enough voters make it clear he has two choices: abandon Israel or we’ll elect Trump, then it’s his fault when Trump is elected for continuing to support genocide.
Politicians work for us, they have a responsibility. Not the other way around.
What US president would be doing anything different.

What do you think he would do differently?
Push hard for more aid to Ukraine and no aid, other than humanitarian aid to Israel.
Though most likely Boeing or some other corporate entity would have assassinated him by now
How would he get around this? The US is obliged to send weapons by law.

That’s what he would be pushing to revise with Congress
No, my rights do not supercede the rights of others. Especially when those other rights are being denied via slaughter by the US.
Genocide is bad enough to outweigh all the good.

These dipshits don’t understand that they’ll be genocided themselves if Trump wins.
