          The best someone can do when faced with two equally genocidal candidates is try to pressure the party that has the potential to produce non-genocidal candidates, and the only way to do that is through protest, boycott, striking and soliciting your representatives or, as a lost resort, witholding your vote to communicate clearly that pro-genocide candidates are unviable. Anything else is enabling.

          You’re not mitigating anything by voting for Biden, he literally just gave Israel a billion in military aid and will do so again as soon as an opportunity presents itself. The only thing more he could be doing is literally sending in American soldiers to help with the killing.

            I’d rather mitigate the immediate potential of halting of all US aid to Gaza by the Trump admin- but obviously empty ‘principles’ are more important to you than starving Palestinians.

              Motherfucker please, the us already decided to withhold how many billions of unrwa?

              Trump might stop giving them more, but let’s not pretend Mr. Cut off palestinian aid, shut down every ceasefire except one halfass one, continually reject every Palestinian attempt at state.

              WE HAVE ALREADY LOST GAZA!!!

              Those people are toast either way, trump will do it fast and Biden will let Israel keep crossing Every Single Red Line.

              At this point, there is no helping them, both candidates want them dead.

              Fucking Biden actually probably wants the dead more than trump.

              I don’t think trump actually cares one way or the other he just wants to stay out of jail, Biden actually wants them dead, they are causing him problems.

              Edit: added everything after the last comma, missed it the first time.
