Okay. Gaza isn’t my only issue with Biden. And no Trump doesn’t align with me on those issues either, but if Trump doesn’t get my vote by default just because I dislike Biden, then the same should follow for Biden. I’m sorry that you don’t like how I, one person that you do not know, am planning to vote. However, I will not change my plans because you say I have to. You have not given me a reason to vote for Biden. Just reasons not to vote for Trump. And that’s not only not a winning strategy forever, but its getting fucking annoying at this point. Not a single person here has said been able to point to any actual thing that makes Trump better on this issue. Biden didn’t do anything to fix the issues with the court with the first two years that he had. He dropped the ball on student loan debt relief. I could give you other examples of my frustrations with Biden. But I’m not going to waste my time. Because you’ll just say “Trump will be worse, if you want change, vote for Dems.” But dems don’t make changes because they want to hold onto power. That is how they always operate in my opinion. You are free to feel differently, but I have based that opinion on 36 years of life and watching them operate. You won’t get the change you want out of democrats. You’ll get more of the same.
So please, stop telling people what they have to do with their votes. We don’t all agree that things are going so super, duper well right now. Dems don’t listen to progressives, there aren’t any parties on the actual left who can win, i have no one to vote for. And yes, I’m mad at democrats about it because they lie about being progressives. And I mean literally. Jon Fetterman ran a progressive campaign and now openly states that he’s not progressive and drapes himself in the Israeli flag so that he can get those sweet, sweet AIPAC dollars. But by all means, keep voting blue no matter who and tell yourself that your not like MAGA Republicans, because at least you have the illusion of choice.

The reason they don’t make much change happen is much more complex than that, but you’re entitled to your opinion.
Other people have also lived for 30+ years and don’t have the same reductionist take, so like, that’s just like your opinion man.
So please, stop telling people what they have to do with their votes.
I don’t give a shit what you do with your vote, but if you want to be regarded as anything approaching reasonable, it makes no sense at all to say “oh it doesn’t matter at all which party I vote for because my exact preferences are not represented in this election”.
You have the freedom to be unreasonable, and I have the freedom to tell you that that’s exactly what you’re being.
Ultimately no politician alone will be able to change the things that need changing, but a couple of choice politicians in the right offices will go a long way toward making things markedly worse.
And dems will never give that to you. If they wanted to, they would have done so by now. But you’re entitled to you’re belief that I have simply thrown my hands up instead of wrestling with this question for months. Voting for Biden will just make life hell for different people. Not fewer, in my view.
So if you’re cool with me telling you that you’re acting like an asshole, then go ahead and tell me what to do
But don’t act surprised when people get pissed at you.
I think this reply got lost. It’s likely difficult to manage your inbox because you’re typing out walls of text to a dozen different accounts right now.
Also, if you can’t regard me as a reasonable person for not wanting to vote against my own beliefs and interests, then you absolutely do give a whole lot of shits about what I do with my vote. You give so many shits, that some people might even call it unreasonable that you can’t let a grown person make up their own mind.

I really don’t give a shit as stated before. There is a reason why people like yourself get so absolutely blown in half by a simple meme like the one that started this shit fest of a thread…I personally think that it’s because there’s still a little part of you that still knows you’re behaving petulantly, and you think by typing out walls of text to strangers on the Internet in response, you’ll somehow be able to convince that part of you that you’re right.
EDIT: Yeah if the walls of text don’t do it, meaningless down votes definitely will. 😉
So he would do what Biden is doing but more… Justify voting for him however you want. Biden is just as supportive of Israel as Trump would be.
Exactly…so that’s why Trump is worse for everything including the Israel issue.
