Seriously I’m so confused on this. The USA has a 2 party system. You either vote for Biden or you get Trump. Abstaining from the vote you get Trump. MAGA will have a 100% turnout for their God Emperor.

Trump supports Israel 100%. Again, by not voting for Biden the reality is you’re voting for Trump who is even more supportive of Israel and will also attempt to upend democracy in the west.

You don’t have any options here that support Palestine. The reality of the situation is you either get Biden or Trump and the latter is infinitely worse for the ideal you’re trying to uphold by abstaining. That’s how politics work in the US. You might not like it, it sucks, but unfortunately that’s just the way things work.

        How did the genocide under Trump compare to how its going under Biden?

          If you compare to the Mexican border during Trump which has direct involvement under him. Or COVID, also direct involvement, Biden is doing alright genocide-wise. You’ll have to be more specific - pick a genocide and a definition. This is an Israel/Hamas war, not a United States one.

            Ethnically targeted killings. In this case, against palestinians. And this has heavy US involvement with the billions in US funding Israel is using to commit it.

              I mean this is a pretty specific definition. Israel has a record of generally only genociding during the reign of a Democrat president (Battle of Gaza, Operation Cast Lead).

              How about the defense of Ukraine which literally helped prevent genocide of Ukranians from Russian aggression? There’s value there.

              Saying this, I agree, funds for Israel should stop.

        I’m willing to be dollars to donuts you’re simply looking for an excuse not to get off the couch and vote.

        oh, I’m going to vote. for $20,000 you can decide who I vote for.

      It’s like an algebra equation. Genocide is on both sides of the equation, so we can cancel it out. Then we are left with Biden being a ridiculously old Boomer and Trump wanting to finish destroying our democracy.
