    Okay, does that actually change the choice you make? You only have two practical options when it comes to voting. I said do nothing because the government’s policy on Israel effectively hasn’t changed now that they’ve started a genocide (or rather, really ramped up their genocide). In that sense, he’s doing nothing. But again, does that change the choice you make in order to end up with the world closest to what you want?

      The third choice is to refuse to vote for genocide supporters and force the obstensibly liberal party to change their actions. Genocide funders don’t get free votes just for having the D next to their name.

        You seem to think I’m voting for them without making it known their Israel policy is unacceptable. You seem to think that Biden won’t listen to public opinion at all. You seem to think that if I withhold my vote for Biden, there is no potential consequence for doing so, like, I dunno, Trump winning a second term, making the genocide even worse, and attempting to make himself a proper dictator.
