    Meh, you (and I) are in a constrained system. Any other words on choice are fluff.

    You’re ascribing emotions to something that has none. You’re ascribing motive to someone you dont even know.

    Thus far edit ive only declared I don’t want trump president. You don’t know my choices beyond that.

      I don’t want Trump president either, but if Biden does not stop he is going to lose.

      And so I have to use the only leverage I have to force Biden to stop supporting and carrying out genocide. If anti-Trump voters actually want to stop Trump then y’all need to understand that Trump is going to win because of the genocide. The people who don’t support genocide will not vote for Biden and the people who love genocide will vote for Trump, it’s lose lose.

      We have to force Biden to move on this issue or he’s doomed. It’s not about anyone’s feelings or emotions or what you truly want in your heart. Like I said, this is strategic. We are in a constrained system, this is the only strategy we have.

      Or is your plan to help Biden win just to scream at people who won’t vote for genocide?

      Because that’s doomed to fail. This is what you are voting for.

        I fully get what you are saying, and I wish I believed that we had the leverage that you think we do. But, I think Netanyahu actively wants Trump in power, and I don’t think Biden has the power or ability to really do anything to stop him. It’s not just Netanyahu either, it’s Putin, Farage, Erdogan, Meloni, Le Pen, Orban, and all the other conservative/fascist leaders out there. And as bad as Biden is, a Trump victory is 10x worse. I don’t think Netanyahu would have pulled any of this shit if there was no chance for Trump. I honestly think that by threatening Biden, you just emboldened Netanyahu to do even worse. The greater the atrocities that get committed, the more likely that Trump wins, then he’ll have free reign to really do whatever he wants. Sounds like a win-win for Netanyahu.

          I don’t think he has the willingness to stop selling weapons to Netanyahu.
