    And what outcome do you have from voting that isn’t genocide? You either have implicitly helping genocide through weapons or explicitly helping by backing Israel no matter what and getting US troops involved. And not voting is just helping the latter side. It sucks and we definitely need to protest more and apply pressure how we can but there aren’t really that many choices for us through voting.

      No one is voting for Biden! He’s not running for President!

      You are free to speak out against him now, don’t you get it?

        I was also free to speak out against him before and did, but that didn’t change that I was gonna vote for him even though I have some problems with him. And the same applies to Kamala as well, who at least on Palestine and Israel seems to have the same exact position as Biden.

            Yeah, by voting for Kamala, who has been pushing for a ceasefire and who will not bomb the west bank

              I hope the West Bank isn’t already being bombed by the time she takes office. Zionist soldiers are already raiding the territory and murdering people constantly, it wouldn’t surprise me if Israel started droning the area too.

              The best way to make sure that happens is to stop the genocide now.

                Yes, with protests, student encampments, civil disobedience, and such. Not by abstaining, that won’t do any good.

                  You keep trying to bring this back to voting, but I’m talking about voicing dissent against a guy for whom you can’t even vote. 🤨

                  Voting is irrelevant to this conversation. This is about Biden, and why you should be screaming at him to stop doing genocide.
