    You act like I’ve never heard any of these arguments before 🙄 when this lesser of two evils, game theory argument is the Democrats’ party line to avoid accountability. Keep voting for us!! We won’t change at all, in fact, we’ll get more conservative, but keep it up! Thanks for the votes!

    Why would Biden be conviced to stop funding genocide after we elect him? After he has definitively learned that genocide is not a bridge too far for people to vote Democrat? It’s illogical. You’re just like oh hopes and prayers Biden will change his mind 🙏 YOU’RE the one being illogical.

    Threatening re-election is the only power we have to convince high level Democrats to change. I’m suggesting something that has actual power.

    We don’t have to limit our political strategy to a single election cycle. If Trump wins, it’s the Democrats fault for not adhering to basic moral values. When Democrats realize they will actually lose elections, they will put up different candidates in the next elections and they will support better policies.

      Okay cool. You show the Democrats they will lose unless they put up better more Leftist candidates by handing Trump the victory. What now? At the place we’re going, Gaza won’t be around in 2028. All of the Palestinians will be dead.

          So the Genocide doesn’t actually matter to you. Got it. You just wanna use it as an excuse to do stay home. Kinda cringe bro.

            To get out of the weird negativity you brought into the discussion -

            Biden and Trump are much closer to each other politically than the Democrats would have us believe. Voting for third party could make the Democrats run more left-leaning candidates. If we keep voting for Democrats no matter what they do, they have no motivation to change! Why would Biden suddenly stop FUNDING Israel after we vote him in again? What is the motivation? But if Democrats lose or nearly lose the election due to losing votes, that’s amazing motivation to change.
