        What do you mean that doesn’t make sense?

        Biden’s approval is trash no matter what i’m doing here. There are voters that are already going to sit this out that need convincing; either you need to convince them to show up anyway (hold their nose to genocide to prevent more genocide), or you need to convince Biden that his position on genocide is a losing one (it looks like it already is)

        In 2016 Hilary lost because voters didn’t think the establishment gave a shit about their concerns, if you don’t think that’s a risk again all hope is lost.

            Why is it that when I point to the reality of the situation, suddenly I’m a troll?

            Bidens approval is at 38% right now, how many votes do you think that equates to?

            I don’t know what kind of campaign could make up that kind of deficit without a total about face.

      I did that. I’m also going to vote against more genocide, done not just abroad but at home.

      In the voting booth, there is no “no genocide” button. Your choices come down to “more genocide” and “less genocide”, and you get to push towards one outcome or the other.

      Personally, I’m going to take a brave stance against “more genocide”, but if your principles keep you from engaging with the real options, well.

      I’m sure the people who die who wouldn’t have otherwise will forgive you.

        Did you also tell a bunch of people quite loudly that you’ll vote for him anyway?

        Idk seems like you’ve effectively said ‘if you do this again I’ll be really upset, but ILL DO NOTHING IF YOU KEEP DOING IT’

        from where I am a lot of people have been saying that second part REALLY LOUDLY but barely whispering the first part
