Think of it this way: Vote for Biden. Not because you support any war, because you support being able to harass the man for another four years. Don't let him leaving office leave you with regrets! Meanwhile, consider also voting specifically against tyranny.

Personally, I see a chance for change with Biden, or at least the foundations for positive change. All I see with Trump are giant steps backwards.

When every side supports Israel, isn't it basically a non issue? I know you guys love to police the world, but maybe choose your politicians based on national, not global affairs

I recommend listening to Medhi Hasan debate this exact issue on the most recent episode of the podcast "Pod Save America".

So much better of a discussion than can be had in fediverse comments.

The most powerful thing I took away from it is that there are people in Michigan, right now, who have had literal dozens of family members back in Gaza who are now dead just since Oct 7. That actual, real, current loss of lives is always going to be more powerful than " other guy worse". A lot of them may just not vote instead of casting their votes for their Democratic president who's done less than motherfucking Ronald fucking Reagan did in picking up the fucking phone and calling Netanyahu.

That's the truth in very stark terms.

It is a goddamn primary election and there isn't oppostion to Biden. Anyone voting uncommitted in the primary is having no actual effect on the general election as Biden will be the nominee no matter what the voters express.

Telling the voters they doth protest too much is electorally a shit strategy.

And shit electoral strategies on behalf of the Democratic Party is how we got Trump once and now likely twice.

Except this is about the primary. How is not voting for him in the primary matter? Honestly, the fact that the Democrat party in places like Florida just got rid of the primary so none of the challengers could be voted for is...dumb to me.

I might hate most of the other people running, since they're largely anti-vaccine pseudoscience conspiracy types, but people should still be allowed to vote in the primary.

The genocide will continue until morale improves

I've wanted her to be my president since the first time I saw her speak. SOTU response or something iirc?
