    He’s seeing nationwide protests and hearing vocal opposition from Congress and the UN. He’s not listening to an echo chamber yell about vote abstentions. That’s still a terrible idea. Trump will be worse for Palestinians, Ukrainians, and Americans.

      Politicians don’t care about nationwide protests and vocal opposition from Congress and the UN. And the US has definitely never cared about the UN. They care about popular music artists telling their constituents not to vote for them in a viral song, or huge increases in “Uncommitted” during the primaries.

      Or course Trump will be worse on other issues, but that’s no reason to let a genocide slide. Pressure is required to save lives, or we’re letting our President be just as bad for Palestine, which isn’t good.
