You seem to be under the impression that most Americans vote matters.

With the Electoral College and how partisan state governments have gerrymandered, I can honestly say my vote, here in Texas, literally makes no difference. Biden has literally zero realistic chance of winning this state, my vote does not make any difference. So why make an empty gesture in support of a war criminal, when I can make an empty gesture by writing in a 3rd party like the PSL?

You know what?

Late October, with a ceasefire in place, I can understand the impulse to swallow your pride and vote Biden out of fear. It’s not an impulse I’ll share, but it’s one I can understand.

But we are over 4 months away from the election. Pledging your support to an incumbent president while he is in the middle of supporting a genocide, with no reservations or halfhearted attempts to demand concessions is so servile it makes me sick.

Look at my “leftists” bro. We are never getting socialism bro.

I don’t know what’s more depressing. That dozens of people who unironically agree with his dipshit, or the ads Twitter is inserting into this conversation to promote evangelical missions to Israel and Congressional Republican fundraising.

Israel is desperate to record a win.

They have not been able to demonstrate victory in Gaza despite taking over practically the entire territory. They have not been able to demonstrate a win against Hezbollah despite lobbing missiles back and forth for months. They have not been able to record a win against Iran despite blowing up an oil pipeline and (mabie) assassinating a president.

Even assuming the political leadership in Israel wanted to end this conflict (they don’t) they can’t really de-escalate until they’ve “won” something.

If Netanyahu were truly a statesman and a Patriot, he could in this conflict and shoulder the burden of defeat. Give Israel away to deescalate the situation and save face. Unfortunately for everyone involved Netanyahu may be a nationalist but he’s not a patriot.

I think that in a war between Israel and Hezbollah two things are certain.

Hezbollah would eventually win.

The people of Lebanon would suffer greatly.

The ideal solution to all this is for Israel to stop its genocide. If it comes to war between Hezbollah and Israel I have no doubt about who the final victor would be, but just like the last war, while the IDF will lose, they will extract a horrific price.

damn, i wonder how america could throw a wrench in the plans of alleged russian disinformation campaigns that focus on biden’s active support and denial of genocide?

perhaps biden could stop sending weapons and stop denying the genocide?

I hate to say it, but “bloodfart” makes a very good point

Wasn’t there a quote from an Ansarallah leader who said he feels bad every time he sees one of these drones because he knows that it was millions of dollars that could have gone to poor people in America, instead of a useless machine of death?

There are things that Biden supporters can point to. The problem is the list is very short, because he’s unwilling to take strong executive action and he’s hamstrung by a broken Congress.

Also the fact that anything he can point to is overshadowed by the genocide happening with his support.

So like, discharging less than 1% of college debt is something. But it’s not a lot. And the people who might be willing to make the case that it’s better than nothing, are a little bit too disturbed at the genocide happening with our tax dollars to make that argument.
