ah, so the single-issue voter. actually it's not even single-issue, that's just giving up status quo in order to effectively vote for worse than status quo. that's called having a narrow view on the world, you know the middle east isn't the only thing that exists in american politics right? there are still other things to improve on rather than just saying "oh israel-palestine conflict is going to shit either way therefore why even bother, might as well fuck up every other political issue, it's useless if we can't have this one win".
grow up, you're effectively casting all your friends and loved ones into the flames with your stubbornness, and casting palestinians into the flames considering trump is going to rail way harder against palestine than biden does. it's not like not voting means no palestinians die, why do you have this delusion that you have blood on your hands if you vote but no blood on your hands if you don't. it helps nobody and improves nothing except your own ego because you get to say "oh well i didn't vote for genocide!" even though you practically voted for more genocide.
It's not my only issue with Biden, but it is my biggest and the fact that it doesn't even seem to register as a problem for you is very telling. You don't care about anything that's happening to anyone outside of the US huh? Your world is that small? Get a grip. We all draw our lines in the sand somewhere and when the line is crossed, that's usually the thing we're going to yell about. I think "I can work with you on anything other than genocide related crimes" is pretty fucking lenient, don't you?
alright then my guy, what does trump do better than biden that makes you want him to win instead? because you seem so happy to give trump an extra vote. what would trump do better outside of the US since that seems to be where your concern lies? how will not voting for biden achieve your goals and make the situation in palestine any better?
you seem to think that voting for biden is "working with him", which is just plain delusional. that's completely outside of the scope of general elections. you're not relevant to biden, or any politicians, he doesn't know you exist, don't think of yourself as so important that you think you're working with them. what you're doing is casting a vote to lessen future pain.
if biden were the only candidate, if it were a 1 party state and the only person able to run was biden, then yeah i'd agree with you. voting means nothing. but that's simply not the case. you are genuinely either stupid or evil if you'd rather give your vote for trump rather than swallow your pride and at least vote to maintain some semblance of liberty (at least what's left of it). a world where democrats lose the election is a world where you won't even have the right to criticize your president, nor your government's genocide.
bottom line is by not participating in the 2 party system in the presidential election, you're not somehow making a morally correct decision that means you have no blood on your hands. you WILL have blood on your hands if republicans win, no matter how much you try to convince yourself that you totally owned those genociders by basically voting for the worse genocider. your view is extremely short-sighted and you care about your own pride more than the rights of LGBT people, black & hispanic people, etc.
I don't think trump does anything better than Biden and I'm not reading the rest of your shitty comment because you started out by putting words in my mouth. I never said that Trump did anything better than Biden. I don't want Biden to be president. His actions have been disqualifying.
