The other problem problem with it is that it’s mostly right-wing propaganda intended to disenfranchise democratic voters.
And it’s INCREDIBLY effective.
Ah yes, Joe Biden committing Genocide, the right-wing talking point.
It is a right-wing talking point. It's meant to sow division among Biden voters so that it becomes more likely Trump will win.
It's chess not checkers.
The Democrats are starting to change their stance on the Genocide solely because they are seeing that voters are starting to walk away.
You are the person enabling the Genocide in Gaza with your rhetoric that Democrats can continue it and not lose voters.
Right? I love how mad centrists democrats get at the fact that leftists have a standard for whether they will vote for someone or not. It makes it pretty clear to me this is precisely what leftists should be doing because that anger tells me that centrists are having to actually listen to leftists instead of spitting in their face constantly and assuming leftists will fall in line without having their input taken into account.
Of course these arguments are always framed as “YOU are the reason we are going to lose” which ignores EVERY SINGLE step along the way the got us to this point of centrists democrats machine gunning themselves in the foot and aggressively ignoring what voters actually want. All of those steps and all of that responsibility is somehow invisible and all of the fault is directed at the voter…for having standards?
Vote undecided in the primaries and in the general well… I am not gonna tell you to vote for genocide Joe even though I don’t disagree for a nano-second Trump is worse. That is a decision everyone has to make for themselves.
I think I will vote for Biden but honestly I just don’t have it in me to try to convince anyone else to vote for someone who is so clearly using their position to aid and facilitate genocide. I do think it is best to think of voting as damage control not the primary strategy and thus there are many very good arguments to vote for Biden, but at the end of the day it is also true that centrist democrats just will not fucking listen unless they are panicking about losing to fascists it seems.
