    The argument isn’t “don’t vote for biden” it’s “stop deflecting the harm your candidate is actively doing by pointing at someone else”. Why is that so hard to understand? The fact the democrats want to die on the hill of commiting genocide and squashing student protests against it is their own fault, no one elses.

      This isn’t an election issue, since both parties agree on support for Israel. Stop making it an election issue

      This is a Congress issue, go protest at the house, or offices of your congressman.

        It’s an election issue if the people say it is. Otherwise we no longer live in a democracy.

            Enjoy president Trump

            So you admit that it is an election issue?

              No, they’re replying to the claim that it is. If you attempt to protest the genocide at the polls, you’ll just end up with more genocide.

                Right, so Bidens continued support of genocide makes it more likely that Trump will win

                Therefore it is an election issue. Therefore, Biden needs to immediately change policy

                    No, it’s because of the truth that continued support of genocide will cause Biden to lose Michigan and other states as well. Which means Trump wins.

                    To prevent that, Biden needs to change policy immediately

                    If people are mad at a government then they will not vote to re-elect that government. Which is how democracy is supposed to work. Not that it matters, because our democracy is not long for this world anyway
