The “uncommitted” vote in Michigan way outperformed expectations last night, reflecting Democratic unhappiness with Joe Biden’s support for Israel’s brutal war. He should change course on Gaza immediately.

But you are shirking away by hiding behind an alt.

You are part of the problem with the left. Yes, the Israel thing is fucked up and a mess, but, as much as it sucks, Biden would have to do something much much worse than stick with a long standing policy of supporting Israel (regardless of how we feel about it) before I would not support him, especially over trump.

No one else has the support or name recognition to beat trump and every vote for anyone other than Biden (in the actual election) is a vote in support of fascism and helps usher in our first dictator. It won't be trump but I won't be surprised if they find a way to give his vp a total of 3 terms and push legislation that will make sure that they get whoever they want in office after that.

The above said. I'm not in the mood to argue anymore with an alt so I'm blocking you so I don't have to see this bullshit, astroturf you are pushing.

Have a nice day.
