    Your confusion makes your concern understandable.

    Voting for Biden is not a vote for genocide, you’re misattributing 70-year Israeli war crimes to a 3-year sitting president asking Israel to be less aggressive and ignoring all of his administration’s achievements for women’s rights, the environment, infrastructure, jobs, voting rights, and many more.

    Go ahead. Ask.

    There are many candidates, OP can vote for any candidate they like, that is a choice.

    Voting is a choice.

      Voting for Biden is not a vote for genocide,

      He didn’t have to circumvent congress to sell them weapons. His hands weren’t tied there.

      Voting is a choice.

      And the refrain when someone doesn’t want to vote for the genocide you support and suggests not participating at all, the refrain unfailingly is “that’s the same as voting for Trump.” There’s no choice.

        They won’t be voting for genocide by voting for Biden, your nonsensical equivocation of two unrelated events notwithstanding.

        Biden is a good presidential candidate with 3 years of successful beneficial domestic and foreign policies, regardless of who he’s running against, and Biden happened to be sitting when a terrorist attack occurred against a 70-year mutual defense ally.

        If you don’t like the false refrain you mentioned, all you have to do is stop spreading it around.

        Anyone can vote for Trump if they want to. It’s a vote for rape and direct election fraud, but that’s the price you pay for participating in a representative democracy.

        Everyone gets to vote.

        Voting is a choice.

          You did a good job of handling this. When I’m faced with such stupid, I cannot even deal with it.

            Appreciate it.

            I don’t always take the high road, but I am satisfied with how this thread turned out.
