Trump in 2016:

She shouldn't be allowed to run.
If she were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis.
In that situation we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial.
It would grind the government to a halt.

Actively supporting a genocide with billions of USD in goods seems like a great reason to not vote for Biden anymore

okay, that's the first half... so since you're going to not vote because of gaza, it stands to reason that it's possible that someone would choose not to vote for Trump if he said he wasn't going to let Israel ethnically-cleanse gaza. It's all about putting yourself in someone else's shoes. Thanks for participating!

I'm not even a US citizen but ok

ah. So the true answer to what would it take for me to not vote for Biden was "nothing." I guess the question for you is, what would it take to get you to cast a valid vote for a US democrat president and why aren't you doing it?

For me yeah. I'm just saying I sympathise with all those who think Biden crossed their "activation energy" line by supporting Israel's genocide for this long.

A good track record. I'd want to vote for Bernie if I could, after hearing the fire in his voice and knowing he means it.

I would say strategic voting for biden at this point to prevent Donny from winning is a fine reason to vote Biden right now.

Let's not forget that their system is broken and unless you vote one of those two parties, your vote doesn't matter, and Donny wants your vote to matter even less. Even just to attempt to uphold political democracy it's worth voting Biden, but that's what he's riding on and that's a fucking shame.

By all means, if the alternative wasn't thrusting the US into fascism, I would absolutely say don't vote for the person supporting genocide, alas that is not the case.
