        When you have only one barely acceptable option, there is no choice. Only coercion.

            You must support genocide to consider it a choice.

              Nope.

              Three months ago all of you said I supported terrorism because I was standing up for the Palestinian civilians, now because I don’t attribute a 70-year-old mutual defense agreement solely to the sitting president of 3 years who’s asking that ally to be less aggressive, all of you say I support genocide.

              OP asked who they can vote for. That is a choice. They have a choice who they cast their vote for.

                I said no such thing.

                OP asked who they can vote for. That is a choice. They have a choice who they cast their vote for.

                As long as they don’t want Trump and the fascism he promises, they have to vote for Biden and the genocide he enables. You may think voting for genocide under threat of fascism is a choice, but the threat is what makes it coercion.

                As far as I’m concerned, calling it a choice just indicates that you would choose to vote for genocide in the absence of such a threat.

                  Your confusion makes your concern understandable.

                  Voting for Biden is not a vote for genocide, you’re misattributing 70-year Israeli war crimes to a 3-year sitting president asking Israel to be less aggressive and ignoring all of his administration’s achievements for women’s rights, the environment, infrastructure, jobs, voting rights, and many more.

                  Go ahead. Ask.

                  There are many candidates, OP can vote for any candidate they like, that is a choice.

                  Voting is a choice.

                    Voting for Biden is not a vote for genocide,

                    He didn’t have to circumvent congress to sell them weapons. His hands weren’t tied there.

                    Voting is a choice.

                    And the refrain when someone doesn’t want to vote for the genocide you support and suggests not participating at all, the refrain unfailingly is “that’s the same as voting for Trump.” There’s no choice.
