    Not going to touch that example with a ten foot pole but:

    If your ethics require you to take a pointless moral stand that accomplishes nothing for the people you claim to care about? Cool. Have fun.

    This is not the trolley problem where you are deciding if one person or ten people die. This is a case where that same one person is going to die either way but the other ten can be saved.

      It’s only pointless if a few people do it…

      Like literally every social change, including voting.

      If enough people say “I can’t vote for Biden because of his support of Israel” then a rational candidate would appease their voters, at least till after the election.

      If the candidate refuses to do that…

      Whats the point in voting for someone who openly refuses to care what their voting base wants?

      You’re mad at the wrong person here. Be mad at Biden for putting Israel over America, when according to your opinion, Israel wouldn’t have an issue continuing genocide with trump in office.

      Think about Biden’s refusal to listen to voters and that for a minute.

      He cares more about Israel than America.

        Okay. What does not voting for Biden and letting trump win do for Palestine?

        is the orange fuckface going to say “Oh wow. I only won because Biden handled Palestine so poorly. Let me go fight for the rights of ‘muslims’”?

        OH! I know. The Democrats will decide they need to do better during the next election as we lose even more supreme court judges and the next election never happens (as per gop plan). But hey, maybe a few Palestinians will be alive in four to infinity years.
