Pointing out hypocrisy isn't whataboutism. Whataboutism would be distracting from the issue with something unrelated.
But aiding and abetting a genocide is, in fact, racist. I have to point that out because no one seems to care anymore.
I think your comment is being interpreted as "Biden supports Israel, so vote Red." However, you're likely just pointing out the flaws in Biden.
Perhaps you should include the intent of your comment so people do not misunderstand your goal.
Keep in mind that we operate in a FPTP voting system that favors two parties, thus many people will assume criticism of a candidate is a tacit endorsement of the opposition.
The left has enough trouble fighting amongst themselves that people are sick of the lack of cohesive strategy.
Biden isn't running for President! How can my comment be interpreted as saying anything about how people should vote?
Because we're in the middle of an election cycle, and in America's fucked up bullshit two party system, any criticism of one side will almost certainly (and largely understandably) be taken as an implicit endorsement of the other side.
The elections never fucking end these days. Trump's reelection started when he lost.
If that trend continues we'll just never be allowed to criticize any Democrat for any reason at any time.
Ok, that’s fair enough. Just goes to show that the KKK doesn’t have the kind of lobbying power Israel does.
