Biden is representative of the Democratic establishment. He’s the chosen one they forced through in the primary. It’s not about him as an individual, it’s the political regime he represents within the party. Biden, like Trump, is just a symptom.
It’s not about Trump, it’s about what Democrats are demanding I put my name to.
Won’t do it. There’s literally no combination of words or sounds you can make that will make me vote for a pro-genocide candidate.
Whether Trump wins or not depends entirely on how well Democrats can get the vote out, that’s their responsibility. I offer my vote with that one simple condition, not hard to get.
You have a binary choice, Biden or Trump for this election.
What you do with your vote is your choice of course but if you help Trump and the GOP get back in power are you going to accept your responsibility in everything that it entails?
We have three choices; Biden, Trump, deliberate non-vote.
I won’t be helping the GOP get into power because there is no scenario in which I would vote for them. Whether Biden can or cannot convince enough people to vote for him would be entirely on Biden himself. That’s how democracy works; you convince people to vote for you and get into office – He has the power to stop supporting genocide, ultimately I can’t influence him to do that other than to communicate that I will withhold my vote. If I’m unwilling to follow through on that option then it’s an empty threat.
I’m not sure why it’s become so difficult for people to understand. You’re trying to persuade the wrong person here. Write a letter to Biden and your representatives, they’re the one in office not me. I’m just a voter who Biden seems confident he doesn’t need.
I’m not trying to persuade you about anything, you’ve obviously made up your mind that helping Trump get back into power is a choice you’re willing to make to maintain your moral high ground.
I’m trying to let anyone else reading this conversation that there is a choice this election between Biden or Trump (I don’t think deliberate non-vote has a chance of becoming president) and the real work is pushing the DNC to have young, smart and progressive candidates in the next primary.
Biden won’t be in the next primary, so how is not voting for him in the general doing anything but showing support for Trump and his policies?

It’s like a paper cut vs a massive heart attack.
Nope, genocide is genocide as far as I’m concerned.
Cool, the millions of additional victims you’re condoning thank you for your pseudoreligious deontological outlook on life.
Will Trump be better for Gaza?
I know he won’t be for Ukraine, that women’s reproductive rights will continue to be limited and the war on queer and trans people will accelerate.
Is that worth it to you?

Cool- I’ll just make a personal note that /u/retrospectology is pro-more-genocide because he refuses to vote for the pro-less-genocide candidate.
They do it all in service to his divine shadow. More mass for the protein bank.
Yo Way Yo!
Genocide is genocide, not sure what you’re on about.
Oh- so you don’t care about Palestinian lives at all- just taking a moralistic stance against a word you don’t even understand- gotcha.
