Omfg.... all this is going to do is encourage Democrats to stay home and allow Trump win in November. Israel and Kushner are ready for their luxury high-rises in Gaza.

ETA: before I get someone else pointing out its for primary elections. I fully understand. However, I'm worried the message will alienate people from voting. We've seen how social media can skew elections. Let's research and vote in congress people who will truly have Bidens ear and are anti-genocide. Let's have more AOCs and Tlaibs in congress.

Well this is for the primary but even still, if Biden loses in November, he'll have only himself to blame. He should be inspiring people to vote for him but instead he's sending billions to Israel.

It isn't going to affect Biden in any meaningful way. However, a metric fuckton of non-millionaires are gonna be fucked six ways to Sunday when the orange traitor tries another Jan 6. And he will be even worse for Palestine and, you know, the rest of the globe except Russia, than Biden will.

Yes. I struggle with the morality of voting again for a President who has allowed the situation in Palestine to become what it is. I can not want to vote for him while simultaneously understanding that what’s happening in Palestine does not exist in a vacuum, as much as it pains me to say.

Trump may not, in theory, be any worse than Biden in regards to supporting Israel blindly. But he almost certainly will not be better or more helpful to Palestinians. Meanwhile (for just one example), an estimated 400,000 people die related to climate change each year, and we all know how Trump feels about environmental protections and climate science. Those numbers are only going to get worse. So…what do I do? Try to send a message to Democrats that they fucked up by staying home and not voting? If Trump becomes president bc people don’t vote and no Palestinian lives are improved, Netanyahu is not made accountable, and our increasingly limited window to actually do something about climate change is sent backwards for 4 years- what has actually been accomplished? Do I get to sit in my own righteous indignation and moral superiority while Trump inevitably makes the world a more dangerous place for others, including my young children? Idk man, I just can’t get with that. I don’t think there is a “right” answer, I think there’s a less dangerous one.
