I swear this board doesn't understand how a democracy should function. We're so used to this shitty system that we think it's normal to have to justify a genocide because the other side is going to genocide even harder if we don't vote for "the good guys"

No, what we should be doing is using the one political tool we have, our vote, to try to force the people in power to bend to the will of the people. That's how a democracy is supposed to function. Thats all that voting uncommitted is trying to do. They realize they're helpless, but if this act gets the Dems to reconsider their stance on Israel, then that's a net positive.

And instead of brow beating those people because they don't feel great about supporting a candidate that is actively funding a genocide, maybe you should join them and use that same energy and criticize the people that are funding the fucking genocide.Try to force the people in power to actually do the right thing.

It's better than sitting back and criticizing the people that are actually trying whatever they can, no matter how hopeless, to fix the situation.

I mean, how am I wrong? If Biden ignores this all and does absolutely nothing different, he is still far better than the GOP on domestic issues and not putting tens of millions of Americans at risk of disenfranchisement, suffering, death, etc. The entire healthcare system will go from crappy to collapsed. We'll speed run even faster towards environmental ruin.

You guys need to be prepared for Biden to stay the shitty course of blind support of Israel. In that instance, are you going to make the utilitarian, damage mitigating choice, or are you going to lose the will to live and not give a fuck what happens to ANYONE? What are we saying? We'd rather everyone die than live in an America where our government supports evil foreign nations?
