    So, are you going to vote for Trump or not vote and help Trump that way? I’m sure he’ll run right over to Gaza and give a helping hand.

          explain how? biden is a self proclaimed zionist. hes not stopping israel anytime soon. trump is a populist, failed businessman that wont stop israel either. you’re response doesn’t actually make sense. voting for either would actually be voting against my interests

            You’re not only voting for a person, you’re voting for an administration.

            The Biden administration has been much more forthcoming toward Gaza and Palestine than Trump and Republicans would ever be.

            By not voting for the administration that would do the most, even if it’s not enough, you’re really aiding the administration that would do the least. That’s how it works in a winner-take-all, electoral-college system.

              Oh yea, is voting against every UN ceasefire resolution your idea of forthcoming? Or maybe pulling aid to UNRWA? Or letting big tech use AI and other technology in the assault on Gaza?

              Y’all are on this kick of, “if you don’t vote my way, you’re wrong. If you abstain from the vote, its your fault the country goes into chaos” As if there aren’t political and business forces that have been around and created establishments that prevent real meaningful change because it would mean power transfer and reversal.

              All the dems can do to muster up votes is try to convince people that they aren’t evil republicans. Sorry I’m a little harder to get and its not my fault that they aren’t good enough.

                It’s like you didn’t even read what I said. The Biden admin’s response has maybe not been enough for you, but it’s a ton more than Trump and the Republicans would ever do.

                And if you’re not voting for Biden, you’re just helping Trump and you’ll get even less of what you want. Yes, that sucks, but that’s how it is in the electoral college.

                  you’re just helping Trump

                  i know its easy to think that way but not voting for biden doesn’t mean i’m enabling trump.

                    Sorry, but that’s exactly what it means in a system with the electoral college.
