    Here’s another truth for you: Like it or not, he’s gonna be stuck with Trump again if Biden loses.

    Maybe he just doesn’t have as much to lose as the rest of us…

      If trump wins, there will be no more Palestinians. Not in the Gaza strip at least. Israel will be free to take over all disputed territories and they will. Bibi is doing everything he can to make sure trump wins.

        By the time Trump would take office, if Biden doesn’t change course and get tough on genocidal maniacs, Gaza will already be gone. They’re starving right now. Their infrastructure is gone and half their homes are unlivable. This isn’t a “seven months from now” problem.

        I don’t think anyone should actually refuse to vote for Biden (in a swing state, if you’re solid blue/red do whatever the fuck you want), but if threatening to do so changes his course of action now, that can save lives. I firmly believe Biden is only where he is now because the antiwar campaigns are working and he’s scared about his weak polling.

            I can hope a) the Biden camp sees the catastrophic toll of unconditional support for Israel and b) voters see the potentially catastrophic toll of a second Trump presidency at the same time.

            Astonishing, I know.

              Right, but one is hoping for thousands of people to not act like people, that is emotionally to issues that effect them, and the other one is hoping for a small group of people who have shown a history of bowing to pressure continue to do so. It’s much more realistic and a better avenue of effort.

                Well then good for you that the latter is less of a threat to your health, job, and survival than the former. Must be nice.

          No no. He’ll be in the in group surely! Authoritarians have never ever been known to turn on and scapegoat groups for their failures! /S

      i’ve lost my livelihood 3x because of biden’s anti-lgbt votes & anti-lgbt support; with #4 on the way; and will suffer more under trump as a non-white non-hetero non-christian; i still think macklemore is in the right here.

        You’ll note that I didn’t say he’s wrong. Just that the Trump cabal will come after all of us. You should pay close attention to the words people choose in the future.
