    What choice was MLK making when he organized boycotts in Burmingham?

    Why are you pretending like our choice is flexible, but Biden’s is fixed? Why are you so eager to accept the binary as given instead of pushing back against a pair of clearly untenable options?

    Instead of hounding people online to vote for Biden in 7 months, why aren’t you protesting his events and pleading for him to reverse course on Israel?

      You have no clue what I do with my live. Your voice is flexible for the future. Your choices in the upcoming election are limited to 2

        And I 100% reserve the right to tell Biden to pound sand if he doesn’t reverse course. And being loud about that ultimatum gives Biden the choice between continued support in genocide and being reelected.

        I agree the second choice is better, if only Biden agreed himself.

          Good for you, we all have that choice.

          Just be aware choices have consequences.

            I highly encourage you to press Biden to fix what he’s broken if you feel strongly about him not losing.

              You know, as a member of the military, it’s gonna be real interesting if your team follows what you do and we get the other guy as commander in chief again. I’m just saying, I’ll probably survive, be fine even if I hide my beliefs again, but your smug “both sides bad” smirk will probably not last all that long with said other guy in charge. Unless you’re into that, in which case, hey, I’ll try to not be on duty wearing the jack boots as much as possible.
