Seriously I’m so confused on this. The USA has a 2 party system. You either vote for Biden or you get Trump. Abstaining from the vote you get Trump. MAGA will have a 100% turnout for their God Emperor.

Trump supports Israel 100%. Again, by not voting for Biden the reality is you’re voting for Trump who is even more supportive of Israel and will also attempt to upend democracy in the west.

You don’t have any options here that support Palestine. The reality of the situation is you either get Biden or Trump and the latter is infinitely worse for the ideal you’re trying to uphold by abstaining. That’s how politics work in the US. You might not like it, it sucks, but unfortunately that’s just the way things work.

    I dont believe any attempt at minimizing casualties is happening at all. Any lines being drawn? Deadlines to be met, funds being withheld? Only thing thats happening is a skyrocketing civilian death toll in Gaza with zero consequences for Israel.

      That’s probably because Israel literally wears the Star of David on their suit jacket while they perform their genocide, wearing their “oppression” on their sleeve with a need to be “sensitive” to their “plight”. It definitely takes balls and commitment, and the US hasn’t had balls in the office for 30 years. Who do you think would have the balls?

        I guess youve forgotten what you were replying to. This is just convincing me more of my original post.

          No I know exactly what I was replying to.

          If it doesn’t matter who we vote for, who would you vote for? Who has the balls?
