Using Joe Biden actions and inaction on Palestine isn't a justification to allow Trump, a fascist, to dismantle our democracy. Trump will green light the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip. All he does is kiss dictator ass.
It isn't a reason either to give him a blank check now without even trying everything to inflect his policy on the matter. He's campaigning so now is actually the best time to let him know that we want more than a non-Trump. The OP suggests that we have to sit still and watch genocide from afar, because the only alternative is worse. NO. The other option is to pressure Dems by all means and let them know we won't vote for him otherwise. Even if come vote day, the sensible person's gonna do the sensible thing. How many fucking hypocritical defeatists around here
If Trump gets elected we will be watching genocides and ethnic cleansings at home and abroad at a much larger scale. Voting for Biden isn't a blank check for him to do whatever he wants. By all means, pressure Biden to change his outdated views on Palestine and Israel.
However, in this election, all not voting does is let the fascists win. Biden will get the message, but there won't be any future elections for him or anyone else to do better. Trump is offering his base the end of democracy and politics. We can prove our demographics matter to the Democratic party and keep our democracy by voting for Biden.
I believe it. Don't expect me to be silent until then though.
