      Yea. This is repugnant, but I’m gonna hold my nose and vote Biden anyway.

            Its bullshit, we deserve more choice and better choices. Unfortunately, the reality is its probably going to end in Biden v Trump. My choice is easy in that regard.

          I’m fighting the whole notion inside myself. Is there any social environment we can build a clu…oh shit…I can’t talk about that.

            Listen, I dont want bombs falling anywhere. I don’t like what Israel is doing in Gaza at all. If I could I would summon the strength of Hercules and the wisdom of Solomon to put an end to this. But I can’t I’m a human. The most I can do right now is assist the nation with the most powerful military in the world with not electing a dictator. I can’t produce a miracle and make some unknown 3rd candidate win. And if you think Trump would be nicer to Palestinians, I got some news for you. What an incredibly disingenuous statement.

              You could act like you care about the genocide atleast. You could also stop acting like Trump is any worse than any of the other Republican presidents, going back to atleast Nixon.

                Do you see any other choices in this instance of our current election cycle? Do you see any other possible candidates that will continue to support Ukraine AND offer to pull support from Israel while also maintaining the possibility of an electoral victory? If you do see a US presidential candidate with these prerequisites please inform me immediately so that I may vote for them. Until then, Biden unfortunately holds my vote.

                Don’t pretend to give a shit about genocide and then start making a pitch for Trump as if he’d be calling for a ceasefire.

                “There is no hatred like the Palestinian hatred of Israel and Jewish people. And probably the other way around also; I don’t know,” Trump said. “You know, it’s not as obvious, but probably that’s it too. So sometimes you have to let things play out and you have to see where it ends.”
