I mean, in all fairness, the Biden admin is actively aiding in this genocide. It doesn’t mean we can let trump be president. But we also can’t deny that Biden is very much pro Israel—but so is all of the establishment US. It’s the country that’s in bed with Israel.

Vote for Biden, vote for democrats. Because republicans are an active and vicious threat to far more than just Palestinians. They can’t be allowed to get their grubby fingers back on the levers of power. We can’t take more of their judges. They are one of the most dangerous groups for the future of the world. We cannot survive Republican climate policy.

This does not mean democrats are good on every single thing the republicans are terrible for. It’s shitty to have to vote for them because they are complicit in a lot of the major issues we face. But it’s necessary.

Nuance matters. Things aren’t as simple or black and white as people who love shouting their politics from behind a screen make them out to be. But republicans, especially with trump at the front of the party, cannot be allowed back in. Under any circumstances. But that doesn’t mean we can’t acknowledge that Joe Biden is complicit in the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Because it’d be dishonest to ignore it. It sucks, but we still need to vote for that asshole.

You know if you had more political parties you would have more choice for whom to vote, but your political system is hardly democratic in my opinion.

Not to mention that democracy should defend their voter's rights and not mega corporations rights.
