No one expects you to, son.
But voting Trump would be just throwing gas on that fire. He is all in on this genocide and has called it great. His base thinks they need the Jews to trigger Armageddon so the Zombie Sky Wizard can come save them all. He would also pull funding from Ukraine, and back Putin in anything he wants.
Also anyone writing that the protests are antisemitism are spreading right wing talking points. They know the majority of the left have an issue with being seen as racist, while they wear their hoods with pride.
EDIT - autocorrect is my enemy.
If they don't vote for democracy, they are allowing the rise of a dictator. A dictator that is going to make their world a whole lot worse. Someone calling them an anti-semite when they know they aren't, and the Jewish people protesting with them know they are not, sucks and is misguided. But that shouldn't be reason enough to hand democracy over to the guy who wants to be a dictator. The next protest they attend will have the military putting it down, or his proud boys.
Ok, and electing Trump who has said he 100% approves of the genocide also, and would like to also kill protesters domestically is better? He also wants to remove our constitution, democracy, and round up the kind of people having these very discussions. And I agree Biden absolutely should move faster to do something about what is happening, but being upset about it and then pissing away any chance it could get better, among all the things that will surely get worse does not compute for me.
“You have to finish up your war. You have to finish it up. You’ve got to get it done,” [Trump] said in an interview with Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom. “We’ve got to get to peace. You can’t have this going on, and I will say Israel has to be very careful because you are losing a lot of the world. You are losing a lot of support.” He knows this war is unpopular and has better political instincts. See also: his new stance on TikTok.
Biden is actually the stronger supporter of genocide. He will support Israel even if they ethnically cleanse Gaza entirely.
And I would rather kill myself than vote for genocide. Bushnell cast the only legitimate vote in this election as far as I'm concerned.
I'm casting a protest vote. I will not vote for Génocidaire A nor Génocidaire B.
I would be really surprised if Trump won. The guy has so many points against him it's laughable. What's more, people know what kind of a president he'll be already. He isn't some wacky unknown like in 2016. So, people would be voting him with full knowledge of what they're voting for.
