Do you even have the slightest idea who the largest voting block is? People don't need to vote for a Republican for Biden to lose. They just have to not vote.
It's amazing you even posted that as a response.
Sure, I would advocate for Republicans not voting for Republican legislators, if the Republican base wanted a ceasefire. But they don't. The Republican party is afraid of their base. The Democratic party has contempt for theirs.
Also, Biden already started shipping those weapons, regardless of that vote. Holding up the weapons temporarily was an attempt to look like he was doing something, same as the floating pier was. Did you even read the link? It hasn't passed the Senate yet.
And who do you think is going to win then?
Come January 2025, the next president will be either Biden or Trump. The election is your one chance to say which one. Act accordingly.
Too bad that Biden chose to alienate a requisite member of his coalition.
Hold him accountable for his decisions.
He chose an action, supporting genocide, that will cost him the general, and chose not to run a primary.
Edit: I don't understand these responses that try and imply voting is an individual moral decision. It has the same logic of blaming the consumer and individual choices for carbon based climate change instead of the people with culpability and power to change things.
Edit edit: I think at this point, unless someone dies, that Trump will be elected. To be clear, I am not voting for Trump.
All well and good, but I would rather not suffer through another four years (or more, the way he talks) of Trump just to teach Biden a lesson. Seems a bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I'm not telling you who to vote for.
All of this thread is off of a post calling Palestinian Americans and Muslim Americans stupid for not voting, as a bloc, for Biden.
I am arguing against the scapegoating that will come against an enthic minority when the outcome of Biden's actions are that he doesn't get elected again.
Vote for whomever you want. Don't blame the family members of victims of an ongoing genocide for the outcome.
