Maybe she knows that Biden losing would only result in worse deviation for Gaza.
"You have no real choice in US but to vote for genocide"
yes, thank you for this searing critique of electoralism that everyone here is already aware of
The two aren't equal. In our two party system, a vote for Biden is a vote against Trump. Sometimes the best option you have on a ballot is harm reduction, you can't expect voting to fix everything. We need to organize outside electorialism, but voting is still an essential task in slowing down fascism.
If Trump was in office at least there'd be one side of the aisle openly denouncing this genocide right now but they're not at the moment because it's not politically convenient for them. That tells me all I need to know about the Democratic party. All of their values are conditional and paper thin. Behind the rhetoric they really stand for all the same stuff the Republicans do.
