    Do you?

    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”

      If Biden doesn’t stop funding Israel in the next 7 months, i’ll make that choice.

      But making that choice now when I don’t have to isn’t just dumb, it’s complicity.

        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.
