    Yeah but deciding not to vote for Biden just feels like a good trendy way to express my sympathies with Palestineans… /s

      I hope this gets posted in all the leftist boards. People need to understand Biden is a continuation of the United States’ wishy-washy policies on Palestinians whereas Trump is pedal to the floor full acceleration towards genocide. Biden has shown he can at least be pressured into taking minor steps in the right direction. Being able to claim moral purity at the expense of a genocided Palestine will ring pretty hollow.

        I have a strict “no genocide” policy. Candidates that promote, endorse, allow, or sit idly by and let others do genocide are gonna be a no go from me.

        It’s not going to change unless we make demands.

          I have a strict “no genocide” policy.

          That’s not one of the options though. You get to pick which genocide. You either get restrained genocide, or full genocide with a side of dismantling American democracy.

              You mean critical thinking?
              As soon as it’s assured Trump loses, and the subsequent cou de tat is quelled, you can all camp the White House front lawn and shake the fences, throw red paint, call old Biden an accessory to murder. Fill your boots.

              But not before.

              Balancing on the tightrope with hell yawning below, is hardly the time to consider changing your shoelaces.

                None of that will cause any structural change, which is why it is permitted

                How can we reshape the United States such that genocide is never permitted again?

                  That sounds bad. But you have to remember that they’re brown and Muslim. Which means it’s OK.

                  Fish don’t have any feelings, which makes it ok to eat them. Same logic applies here.

                  Remember to vote blue no matter who. And always remember that the United States is a good country filled with moral people

              Happily, and I’ll teach them how to do the same, when necessary. Unlike your parents apparently.

              Sometimes there’s no good choice, only bad and worse. That’s how life works and I’m sad your parents never prepared you for that.

                Sometimes there’s no good choice

                Why?

                And what conclusions can be drawn about who does and does not hold power in the United States?

                And what should be done to the United States to correct this?

        United States’ wishy-washy policies on Palestinians

        Wishy-washy policies is my favorite way to say “apartheid ethnostate”
