    Those 100K protest votes aren’t going to be switching to Trump in the general election. Trump would be far, far worse for Gaza than Biden.

      Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire while yelling Free Palestine. These people are not playing around.

      They won’t be voting for Trump. But if the Genocide doesn’t stop they won’t be voting for Biden either.

        So they’ll in effect be handing the election to Trump, who won’t even try for a diplomatic resolution, but instead will fully support Netanyahu in razing Gaza to the ground.

          Biden is razing Gaza to the ground already. If Biden does not stop his genocide he will not get votes.

          You can try to but-trump it all you want. The sooner you face that fact that Biden urgently needs to stop his Genocide or lose. the better.

            Bullshit like that is why I can’t take you seriously. Biden is not razing Gaza, he’s trying to end the violence there while maintaining ties to a long-term ally that has (hopefully temporarily) gone astray with a right-wing government.

            And pretending that the options are anything but Biden or Trump will get you Trump. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. There is a 100% chance Trump becomes president again if Biden loses, because we have first-past-the-post elections and exactly two viable candidates. Sucks, but that’s reality. The sooner you face that fact, the better.
