Yeah but deciding not to vote for Biden just feels like a good trendy way to express my sympathies with Palestineans... /s
I hope this gets posted in all the leftist boards. People need to understand Biden is a continuation of the United States' wishy-washy policies on Palestinians whereas Trump is pedal to the floor full acceleration towards genocide. Biden has shown he can at least be pressured into taking minor steps in the right direction. Being able to claim moral purity at the expense of a genocided Palestine will ring pretty hollow.
I have a strict "no genocide" policy. Candidates that promote, endorse, allow, or sit idly by and let others do genocide are gonna be a no go from me.
It's not going to change unless we make demands.
Numbnutz, clown, shill. Very convincing rhetoric. If the 100,000 in Michigan who voted uncommitted had heard these eloquent shibboleths, surely they would have changed their minds.
Do what you want in the primaries. That is the time for it (although not voting doesn't do anything still). We are obviously talking about the general.
Not to mention the 19% of voters in Minnesota who voted uncommitted
How about you make demands all the time instead of only when it's politically convenient for people who don't give a shit?
Because that's exactly how you will get steamrolled. You're lucky there's people like us looking out for people like you.
It’s The White Man’s Burden.
