I fundamentally reject this idea that we can't criticize the President and have to vote for him regardless of what he does because the other guy is worse. At that point, in what sense do we have a democracy? You've given up on the idea of improvement, of influencing your leaders, of choosing your leaders, you're committed to not even suggesting they do better so as not to scare off others who recognize they're doing something horrible, so what's left at that point? You'll just vote for whatever slop is presented to you and call that maturity, even as they commit evil in your name and your life deteriorates without you putting up a fight?

That's an incredibly unpopular position, none of you seem to get that. That's not what most people who participate in politics think it is. If most people thought that's what it was, they would completely check out and we'd have fascism at the next opportunity. You're not being a freedom fighter by spreading that view and condescending to others for not adopting it.

This election is literally a binary choice of:

My life and this country stay the same if not slightly improve, and Biden will hopefully adjust his stance on Israel.

or

My life, my loved ones lives, this country, and most certainly foreign countries will get drastically worse, and Trump will absolutely increase aggression towards palestine.

So yes, its a mature decision to vote for the less bad candidate.
