“Will you vote for Biden in the 2024 election?” No.
If all Biden has to do to earn your vote is not be Trump, then you aren’t getting much else. People should vote for who earned their vote, not for who commits a genocide knowing he won’t lose a vote.
Just wait until trump wins and kicks that genocide into fuckin' overdrive. You'll pine for the days of sleepy Joe the genocide amateur.
It is already on a scale not seen since WW2. Already more than 80% of Gazans are displaced, more than 30% of buildings has been completely destroyed, there will be nothing left by November.
If this genocide was happening while Trump was president you would have the courage to oppose it, but because Biden is president you are making excuses for it.
My point is that it would be much much worse if trump was in a position of power instead of the defense bench in a courtroom.
Don't believe me? Vote third party to show sleepy Joe you don't support his support of an ally. There's no way you're playing chess with the lives of others, and you totally care about the genocide 100%.
Nobody here is making excuses for a genocide, stop being obstinate with your rhetoric.
Politics ~~has always been~~ is currently a game of the least offensive though. Every can candidate will have things they give you and things they take away. If your two choices are between "I will genocide" and "I will genocide even harder" it seems wild to me to help the second one win by abstaining from the first.
Oh and the second one doesn't think women are people and thinks climate change is fake.
No it hasn’t. Polling in the US has asked for decades, “are you voting more FOR a candidate or agains their opponent?” 2016 was the first major election where people’s “against” vote outweighed the “for” vote.
Ah, I stand corrected!
But what will deter future presidents from enabling future genocides if they know they won’t lose a vote?
Maybe starting with getting more than one dem into office in a row so each subsequent one doesn't have to fix the train wreck economy from the last GOPer giving trillions to the rich, then continuing to elect people on the left end of the party like Bernie and AOC so that future dems are forced to enact more social policies to win votes.
That didnt work with either Clinton or Obama.
We didn't have a dem after either Obama or Clinton
No, but they had two terms. One of them was a corporate shill; the other an extension of GWB.
Biden earned my vote because he's actually done shit during his term, unlike Trump. The situation in Gaza is lamentable, but I'm not going to let a wedge issue on which both of the candidates appear to be in agreement color my opinion.
