And since that candidate needs our votes, we have some degree of bargaining power over what that candidate chooses to do right now and for the next 7 months.
If Biden doesn’t stop helping Israel, you’ll help the other guy get elected? What kind of bargain is that?
You’re playing with fire by threatening that. It’s a terrible, terrible gamble. If you lose, countless more people will die. Are you okay having that on your conscience?
This is the world’s biggest trolley problem, and you’re advocating for “don’t pull the lever even though more people will die”
You’re making that choice right now. If you stand on a hill with a megaphone shouting “GENOCIDE JOE GENOCIDE JOE!” for 8 months and then at the 11th hour decide to go “eh okay I’ll vote for him”, it’s too late.
