Shit is so complicated right now. Saying “Fuck Joe Biden vote 3rd party” is such a massive oversimplification of how the world works. And, IMO will only do more harm to the world.
You honestly think this is what Joe Biden wants? You think he has any actual control over this situation? Israel is going to do what it’s going to do regardless of what Biden says or does.
Yes, let’s put the orange potato back in office; who moved the US embassy and also assassinated a high ranking Iranian official. He would love another middle east war. All because the skeleton that has zero actual control isn’t burning all his bridges.

They’re not mutually exclusive. The real problem is that with FPTP, we’re just going to keep voting these assholes into office.
Right now, the left doesn’t really have a choice other than settling for less genocide. Voting any other way in this system is voting for more

I’ll never vote for any kind or amount of genocide. Clock’s ticking if Biden wants the anti-genocide vote.

Your principles are sound, but not voting in any election is imo equivalent to voting for whoever wins. If that turns out to be Trump your moral high ground has no basis because you actively enabled that result.
Voting for a candidate doesn’t have to mean endorsing their entire being, it can be for many reasons, most noteably tactical voting to ensure the least bad outcome.

This isn’t a matter of disagreeing with this or that policy of a candidate. This is genocide. I don’t need to agree 100% with a candidate to vote for them, but I do have a limit and if anything exceeds it, it’s genocide.
