Because I have no hope of successfully arguing to Republicans that killing brown children by the thousands is actually bad and should be resisted. I'd like to think Democrats agree with that but I might be wrong.

Israel being attacked does not justify a genocide that was already underway before said attack and hugely ramped up afterwards. And the US has no duty to support even legitimate self-defense (to be clear I'm not saying they shouldn't do so, just that they have no obligation), let alone what Israel is doing now (and if they did have such a duty, they'd owe it FAR more to Ukraine, yet the aid being provided to them is fuck all in comparison).
Guess why Ukraine isn't getting more aid! Because the party you want to help win is obstructing sending aid to Ukraine.

And no dude, the US does indeed have a duty to help their allies when they're attacked.

If Americans continue to pretend that these two are the only options that exist, and accept the support those two have for Israel, then it's hard to argue that Americans didn't bring the outcome on themself.

In what real world version of American presidential elections are there anything other than 2 outcomes?
There's a Senate and House that's also voted on. The outcomes can be wildly different between a Democrat with a supermajority and just a majority.

Do you remember how important it was for the Democrats to win two Georgia Senate seats in 2020? Biden would have been in a much worse spot without a Senate majority for reconciliation bills and judge appointments.

All great arguments to tell Biden he needs to do anything he can to win voters to his side.

Biden should not need to win your vote when the only other candidate is a fascist. I do not understand why you cannot grasp this. If you choose to not vote for the not-fascist, you are complicit in voting in the fascist. I am not a child and am capable of seeing the bigger picture.

Hornezz posted...
We're back in the same 'but Trump worse'-loop and ignoring the part that Biden's refusal to budge on Israel is actually what's bringing a Trump win closer.

Not one person ITT thinks that his handling of Gaza is a win in his favor. Moderates who love Israel probably consider it a boon, if anything. Standing up to those no good Hamas.

Also -

See my earlier post about not being cool with a complicit rise to fascism. Trump is that fucked no matter how you dress it up as "not worth considering"

If your actions help Trump win, then you helped Trump win.

The world isn't the fairy tail you keep pretending that it is where you'll magically have a candidate that does everything you want.

So yeah, "one option is worse" is indeed more than enough justification to vote for the "lesser evil".

It's not a morality contest really. Choosing to openly support Israel in what is arguably the world's most publicized genocide is going to do irreparable harm the the United States. On that basis alone Biden failed on his mandate to the American people.

But if insulting me makes anyone feel better for voting for a genocider, I guess do what makes you happy?

I think you're really underestimating the disapproval of Bidens handling of this conflict. According to an AP/NORC poll 70% of dems under the age 45 disapprove of his handling of Israel, and 60% of non-white dem voters. These are the groups most likely to stay home. (And this poll result was from before the recent billions of dollars arms sales)

Now of course you can just tell these groups that Biden doesn't need to win them over, and that he's entitled to their vote even if he supports genocide, and that they're complicit in fascism if they take issue with that - but it's incredibly callous to think this is helping him win the election.

None of the rhetoric you're sharing ITT is actually helping prevent Trump's fascism. If you do want Biden to win, you should join in on pressuring him to listen to his voters.

The reality is that you are completely willing to turn a blind eye to Biden supporting an ongoing genocide, and support him despite it. That is, if we assume the most favorable interpretation.

You're not willing to put any pressure on him to stop supporting it. You just want people to ignore the fact that he supports it and vote for him anyway.

Not really. Voting is about selecting someone who represents my interests and/or someone who I think will make my life better. I don't think Biden does that for me. If you think that he does for you, fine, I'm sure that millions of people will agree and cast their votes for him as well. Even if I don't agree with that as a specific moral choice, I don't think you're a bad person purely for doing that.

However, I think there's also many who will choose not to vote for him due to his stance. Especially if they weren't really thrilled to vote for him in 2020, combined with his record until now, his unwavering support for the genocide is the last thing he needed electorally. Will enough people refuse to vote for him due to his stance on Israel that it'll swing the election? All I'm saying is there's a chance. And if it does happen, he could've avoided it. And he chose not to.
