    And then Trump will make things infinitely worse, and we’ll have to fight that same stupid battle over who’s to blame for the next 4 years. Wash, rinse, repeat.

      Yes indeed, but the people pledging to vote against Biden because Israel don’t care. Or don’t believe. Or sincerely think Trump will be better.

        Or they don’t want to vote for a pro genocide President. Tbh, I get it. Your vote is your stamp of approval for a candidate for a lot of people. It’s the only way to say their approval that a lot of people have, their only voice.

          It really isn’t that, though.

          Your vote is a commodity. It’s influence to be spent, and you should spend it wisely.

          People who think their vote is some deep moral choice need to get over themselves. Try to affect the greatest positive outcome you can. A vote is not a formal, sworn endorsement of everything every checkbox on the ballot stands for. If it were, only the Trump cultists would ever be voting.

        They’re either naive people with a sheltered existence, or bad faith actors. May as well write in a candidate for all the good it would do.
