Too bad that Biden chose to alienate a requisite member of his coalition.
Hold him accountable for his decisions.
He chose an action, supporting genocide, that will cost him the general, and chose not to run a primary.
Edit: I don't understand these responses that try and imply voting is an individual moral decision. It has the same logic of blaming the consumer and individual choices for carbon based climate change instead of the people with culpability and power to change things.
Edit edit: I think at this point, unless someone dies, that Trump will be elected. To be clear, I am not voting for Trump.
Okay, so who should we vote for?
According to him your choices are nobody or Trump. So I guess write in the name of the perfect American over 35 and get back to your soaps.
That's not what they're saying. They're saying other people won't vote for Biden because he's enabling a genocide of people from their community and it's ridiculous to expect that they would. It's easy to foresee what would happen and change tact, you know, like a politician. It's not a prescription, it's a description.
Vote your conscious. Personally, if you're in a swing state, I think you should vote Biden. But maybe also don't jump in front of bullets to protect him from criticism because it's not going to help him. Forcing him to try harder on this issue will help him. He's even throwing up some token resistance now, like that temporary hold up a few weapons, so baby steps are happening. I mean, it sounds like he approved another $1 billion of weapons after that little stunt of temporarily holding up a couple, and he's still condemning protestors and the UN trying to hold Israel accountable even while they walk right over his "red line" but hey, uh... Baby steps, I guess...
I'll answer this a fourth time, but no more since it's clear you have no reading comprehension.
Whomever you want. It's always been your decision. Just don't blame the people personally impacted by Bidens decision to back a genocide when he loses.
Is this concept really that hard to understand?
I answered that question twice in my comment...
That's your decision.
Don't be surprised when the people that Joe Biden's second term requires don't vote for him because he supported the wholesale slaughter of their families.
One person is responsible for that decision.
Joe Biden.
If you hate Trump, blame the person most responsible for his reelection.
It's funny, every time I talk to someone like you who is explaining why not to vote for Biden and I ask them who I should vote for, they don't give me a straight answer.
I'm not explaining why not to vote for Biden.
Why do you think I'm doing that? Have you read anything I wrote, or are you just seeing words that you filter as 'anti Biden' and give a canned response?
I'm literally responding to someone calling Palestinian Americans and Muslim Americans stupid because they, as a bloc, don't want to vote for the man that chose not to stop the slaughter of their families.
Vote for whomever you want.
Don't scapegoat the people whose families were slaughtered in an ongoing genocide.
Someone needs to beat this into your skull, in the current us voting system not voting for Biden is the same as voting for Trump.
Which one do you want to win? Neither are great, but Trump will lead to the complete annihilation of Palestinians in Gaza.
Someone needs to beat into your skull some reading comprehension.
Nothing you've said has any bearing on what I said.
You're arguing in an empty room against yourself.
Read better.
Whomever you want. Just don't blame the people personally affected by Biden decision to back a genocide when he loses.
I'd be offended if this was from someone that had even the slight ability to comprehend what they read.
All well and good, but I would rather not suffer through another four years (or more, the way he talks) of Trump just to teach Biden a lesson. Seems a bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I'm not telling you who to vote for.
All of this thread is off of a post calling Palestinian Americans and Muslim Americans stupid for not voting, as a bloc, for Biden.
I am arguing against the scapegoating that will come against an enthic minority when the outcome of Biden's actions are that he doesn't get elected again.
Vote for whomever you want. Don't blame the family members of victims of an ongoing genocide for the outcome.
