I'm sure that this gesture accomplishes nothing and, at absolute worst, might add a couple percentage points we can't really spare.

but you get to feel good I guess. Dunno how much of a consolation prize that is

Because they know the far right will do so much worse to Palestine and them?
You're operating under the assumption that American voters are hyper-rational and well-learned on the subject of elections. Unfortunately, they are neither of those things.

I think the most important message we should get out right now as Trump is locking down support from his base is tell voters not to vote for Biden. We absolutely should fuck around and put doubt in the support of Biden into the wider political conversation. Its sure to convince people on the fence to stay away.

I am pointing out that your "minor protest" has no realistic outcome besides making everything worse for everyone. Or nothing at best.

But hey, if that makes you feel bad, you're welcome to come up with more effective means.

Thats not how messaging works. The message sent is dont vote Biden. This campaign will absolutely have some effect on the general because the average voter doesnt follow all the minutiae. They just see a growing movement to uncommit to Biden and Trump shoring up support. That is the narrative. That absolutely has resonance with average voters. Glad to clear that up for you.

They don't necessarily know that. There's not pandemic going on right now and there wasn't a well known genocide from an ally when Trump was president.

The Palestinian genocide has been going on for seven and a half decades, and the US has supported it ever since.

If youve ever voted before, youve already supported it all along. This time will be no different.

Stay home. Pick someone else. But do not support Biden.

If theres someone else with a better chance of beating Trump than Biden, theyre an option. If their chance of beating Trump is less than Bidens, they are not an option.

And they'll somehow blame Biden if Trump takes over. They really need to get over themselves and stop cutting off their own noses out of spite.

pointing out that you are, at best, awful at your stated objective is not "getting upset". That's an objective view of reality.

You cant urge people not to vote Biden (i.e. against Trump) and then claim its Bidens fault for not convincing people to vote for him. You dont get to create a problem and then blame someone for not fixing it well enough.

Thats explicitly what the Republicans do to the Democrats every time they take office. Youre better than that.

Apartheid and genocide are two different things. I already feel bad about voting for Biden in 2020. Telling me I was wrong to do so only makes me want to not vote for Biden in 2024 more.

Take a look at the death statistics and the shrinking of Palestinian land over the last 75 years. They have been erasing them, not just keeping them segregated.

Thats my point. People so concerned about Palestinians (youre not) never cared that much before. But now your country is on the verge of turning into a Christian theocracy, you want to switch horses at the last minute?

And youre surprised when people assume your real motive is helping Trump win?

I've been trying to point out to you that you're also helping Trump win by saying it has always been wrong to vote for the lesser evil. Genocide will happen so save yourself a day and some guilt by not voting.

Youre saying dumb shit though because youre not trying to make a genuine argument against genocide or in support of uncommitted votes as a protest.
I can't help if you don't think my protest against genocide is genuine. I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to do for that to come across.

Personally, I agree with the people saying that if Biden doesn't get convinced by the uncommitted campaign then the uncommitted campaign was pointless. The only thing that will have meaning after that is for Biden to lose.

Maybe we should change the point of view.

We assumed that some people are allowing the genocide happened because they support Biden, maybe what's really happening is that they support Biden because they supported the Genocide.

That's why any argument about Palestine situation won't change their stance

The Uncommitted votes are not for an actual candidate. The point is to engage in a pressure campaign to push Biden on the issue.

Even if they are hypocrites, so what if they're hypocrites? People don't mind being hypocrites if they're now doing the right thing. You don't have to keep using poisonous non-stick cookware because learning they're poisonous somehow makes you a hypocrite.

The Palestinian genocide has been going on for seven and a half decades, and the US has supported it ever since.

If youve ever voted before, youve already supported it all along. This time will be no different.

In terms of death and destruction, this Israel/Gaza war far outpaces any major armed conflict in the 21st century. Oxfam calculated 250 deaths per day, compared to: Syria (96.5 deaths per day), Sudan (51.6), Iraq (50.8), Ukraine (43.9) Afghanistan (23.8) and Yemen (15.8). These numbers become much, much worse when you look at civilian deaths - especially children. And now that healthcare and food deliveries have had a near total shutdown, things are looking to get even worse.

And comparing it to previous Gaza invasions:
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/058331a2.jpg

This is not just any old war, it's a massacre. If you're really claiming that the past 5 months have been nothing new, you're either not paying attention to the news or you're actively trying to downplay it.

To be clear, I'm pointing out that Trump has made many public actions and statements that he would support Israel and the Palestinian genocide if elected, even moreso than Biden has. Nobody who wants to massacre to stop would vote for Trump.

They could (and many might) abstain from voting, which is demonstrably the wrong move still, but voting Trump would only accelerate Israel's plans.
