    Ah yes, it’s my fault for not wanting to vote for Biden and not Bidens fault for committing a genocide and making his voter base absolutely fucking hate him.

      Oh that’s definitely his fault, but you are presented 2 bad options and have chosen the worst one out of principle.

      Please be practical. I want the best for Palestine, and unfortunately the best US presidential candidate for them with a chance of winning is Biden. “best” meaning least worst…

      Send a message all you’d like, but I’d rather minimize the inevitable damage than say “told you so” while standing and watching everything burn.

          I’m not shaming you for not wanting to vote for him, I don’t want to either, I’m trying to convince people that voting for him is in Palestine’s best interest (better than Trump winning).

        No. It’s not our problem to fix. It’s sometimes just a choice to walk away which everyone seems these days to push that you should just focus on yourself anyways.

        If they don’t want our input, or effort or thoughts but just want a vote and some money then fuck it. I’m not involved and I don’t have the sway or money to even be a bother to them.

        I won’t just be a resource to be won by default.

          You have a completely different perspective than I. Yes, the Democratic party is being an ass to voters; yes, I hate them for what they’re (not) doing; but I can slightly affect the odds to be slightly better for Palestine, so I will.

          You can send a message that you’re not a pawn, but they don’t care, or at least in 4 years it won’t matter anymore. If you want the best for Palestine, analyze your options for what’s best, of which giving up and stepping back is not a very good one.
