Hmm, let me see. Ceasefire in a country that has nothing to do with us and doesn't effect us in the slightest
OR
We elect a literal fascist who actually admitted he will be a dictator and use the military against his enemies at home
Tough choice
I'm sorry that pushing for Biden to be a better person is such a problem for you. Trump is a monster, but that doesn't mean we should ignore everything Biden does and pretend he's perfect.
I don't see anyone pretending Biden is perfect though?
I see a whole lot of people saying "a sane rational actor instead of a fucking psychpath and his cult."
You're in survival mode. So calling on the better of two options to condemn genocide and call for a cease fire is a waste of time?
I guess you have to compromise your morality to survive, but damn...
When the implied threat behind that call is letting the fascist wannabe dictator into office, yes it's a dangerous waste of time.
I'm a Palestinian here in America and I feel fucking violated by how many people are ready to let me hang by the klansman's rope on the excuse of being mad about what Israel is doing to my cousins in the Levant.
Meanwhile the man they're supposedly so mad at for his inaction has been pressing Israel on de-escalation, negotiating prisoner swaps, and negotiated Gaza the right to access their own offshore natural resources to use the revenue for their own development.
Biden at his worst is doing more for the Palestinian community than these supposed allies of ours are doing at what they insist are their best.
What else is there left to conclude except that vote hostagers prefer Palestinians dead rather than living, dead Palestinians don't call them out for enabling the circumstances that let Israel and racist Americans get away with tormenting and killing us.
Every cult likes to think they’re sane and rational.
Even the Cult of Biden.
who is doing that? where?
He’s not perfect. He’s like getting 6 hours of sleep, tolerable. Trump is like getting 45 minutes of sleep a week, concerning and dangerous. 8 hours of sleep isn’t on the ballot and probably won’t be next time either
Oh shut the fuck up, that’s not what any of this even is, not to mention it’s not about being a “better person”. There is far more complexity to this whole mess. This shit doesn’t start nor end with Biden.
Your other responses in comments are just as shortsighted and simplistic, but go off ig
"Genocide is fine if it doesn't happen to me" is not a take I was expecting to see being upvoted.
Uh... Israel is killing Gazans using American-made weapons right now.
a brutal lie in the first part, a gross lie in the second part. mind you, I'm not pushing for any of the two octogenarian that will be elected.
