What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

    It’s reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally simple:

    Voting Biden in gives us time to take all this energy we’re mustering up and using it to promote broader, more significant changes. We don’t stop at the election and instead use the next four years to push toward a better tomorrow.

    Too many people are stopping at Trump v. Biden. Too many more are stopping at Them v “The System”.

    Change takes time. When you vote for Biden, you vote to reset the clock, and then it’s time for all of us to get to work.

      Can you explain how you expect to push for a better tomorrow after Biden is re-elected?

      The reason I am reluctant to vote for Biden is that he is supporting genocide. If Biden continues to give away large quantities of child-exploding bombs, and he is still rewarded with reelection, then what leverage will the anti-genocide movement have left?

      It seems like if Biden can ignore the anti-genocide movement and still win, then we can expect Biden to keep ignoring for 4 more years.

          I expect Trump to do horrible things. I expect Trump to be worse than Biden.

          What does that have to do with my questions?

            Because that is literally the entire campaign for the DNC: “but what about Trump!”.

            They love Trump because he’s the ultimate boogeyman to strong-arm voters to fall into line.
