    But voting Trump would be just throwing gas on that fire. He is all in on this genocide and has called it great. His base thinks they need the Jews to trigger Armageddon so the Zombie Sky Wizard can come save them all. He would also pull funding from Ukraine, and back Putin in anything he wants.

    Also anyone writing that the protests are antisemitism are spreading right wing talking points. They know the majority of the left have an issue with being seen as racist, while they wear their hoods with pride.

    EDIT - autocorrect is my enemy.

      That’s not enough to convince these students being arrested now,

      Biden is literally calling them anti semites

      And no one said anything about voting for Trump, although I think he will win now if not because of this specifically

        I would be really surprised if Trump won. The guy has so many points against him it’s laughable. What’s more, people know what kind of a president he’ll be already. He isn’t some wacky unknown like in 2016. So, people would be voting him with full knowledge of what they’re voting for.

          30-40% of the United States voting base is literally ignorant racist fucks. Biden will win the popular vote but to win the electoral college he needs at the very least 55% or so and the battleground states matter most.

        If they don’t vote for democracy, they are allowing the rise of a dictator. A dictator that is going to make their world a whole lot worse. Someone calling them an anti-semite when they know they aren’t, and the Jewish people protesting with them know they are not, sucks and is misguided. But that shouldn’t be reason enough to hand democracy over to the guy who wants to be a dictator. The next protest they attend will have the military putting it down, or his proud boys.
