I'm not following you.
No one expects you to, son.
Some people are really dense lol. Biden has lost this election with his response to these protests. Left wingers are not anti semites and you would have to literally be dumb as fuck to believe otherwise
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.
That’s not enough to convince these students being arrested now,
Biden is literally calling them anti semites
And no one said anything about voting for Trump, although I think he will win now if not because of this specifically
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.
30-40% of the United States voting base is literally ignorant racist fucks. Biden will win the popular vote but to win the electoral college he needs at the very least 55% or so and the battleground states matter most.
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.
Your point of view is incorrect. They have their own world view, and from that world view they see Biden as a supporter of genocide, and he has embraced his support of the genocidal regime.
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.
Yes it is sad to see Trump backtracking on genocide against Israel before Biden does but I would still not vote for Trump regardless of anything that happens now or in the future, ever.
Biden on the other hand has the potential to win the vote of the youth but he is literally pooping in their faces.
I'm casting a protest vote. I will not vote for Génocidaire A nor Génocidaire B.
Your opinion is probably not that important then…. Go eat some French fries in your new car and pay your cable bill
