yup. so many people are acting like we're all one-issue voters and just bc the other guy might be just as bad we shouldn't bother or vote third party. sure, let the giant cheeto with tiny hands win. as a queer person who has heard what he's said he'd do if he won, i guess i'll go fuck myself then?
Biden.
Because I'm not ready to die yet.
He *does* need to get his act together about COVID-19 (because it isn't over) and Gaza (because Likud and Hamas are *jointly* wrecking the place)...
I mean, easy choice? Biden's a highly-competent public servant with a great track record of achievement in the last four years, a functioning moral compass, and every reason to think he'll continue that going forward.
Remember when he had to go on to live television and admit that his justification of sending the first batch of weapons (which was personally seeing photos of beheaded babies) was actually a lie he made up.
Indeed. There are two bad guys in this conflict, one with avowedly genocidal intent (Hamas) and one that's certainly AT BEST unconcerned if what they're doing superficially looks like a genocide (Israel).
Neither of them deserve the genocide the other is inflicting/looks like it's attempting to inflict upon them, which is why helping them defend themselves against genocide is good.
i mean, sure. but none of us should be one-issue voters. there's things to worry about here at home, too. i don't want to vote for biden but being an adult means sometimes you have only shitty options but you have to pick one no matter how much it sucks. at least he won't try to take my rights away
I'm pretty sure most people care about more than one issue
But there is one issue of genocide that's the line in the sand for many people who aren't going to cross that line
There are no signs biden cares enough to do anything about that
Lies about seeing photos of decapitated babies
Sends unlimited arms to genocide tens of thousands of innocent civilians
Repeatedly vetoing UN so Israel isn't held accountable for war crimes
In no context does your favourite genocidal freak president have a "functioning moral compass"
