            Because it takes votes away from Biden, which makes a Trump presidency more likely.

            We all know Biden is not perfect, spending time pointing it out is not very productive.

              We just discussed how it doesn’t, if they weren’t planning on voting for Biden in the first place. If Biden wants more leftist votes, he can appeal to Leftists instead of Zionists and Neoliberals.

                If you weren’t planning to vote for Biden in the first place then you are not very leftist. He’s the leftmost candidate of the two than are in the race.

                Not voting for Biden is a tacit endorsement of Trump. You chose to have turbo-genocide instead of genocide-light.

                You don’t like that Biden did a publicity stunt building that pier and just brought one day worth of food in two months? Just wait until Trump decides to cover Gaza in rat poison.

                You don’t like that Biden keeps selling arms to Israel? How about sending a carrier group and bombing those refugee camps directly?

                  If you weren’t planning to vote for Biden in the first place then you are not very leftist. He’s the leftmost candidate of the two than are in the race.

                  See, that would be true if Biden could be considered anything other than firmly right wing. A vote for Biden doesn’t move America to the left, it maintains the right wing status quo. Leftists have had to work outside the electoral process, historically.

                  Guess the huge portion of people who don’t vote each year secretly want Trump.

                  Not voting for Biden is a tacit endorsement of Trump. You chose to have turbo-genocide instead of genocide-light.

                  If they weren’t voting for Biden in the first place, and instead for, say, PSL or the Greens, Biden never had their vote in the first place. Secondly, 180,000 Palestinians are dead, if you’re comfortable with calling that “genocide-light” then that’s sickening. Even if Trump would double weapon shipments or something, we are still in full-blown genocide mode currently.

                  You don’t like that Biden did a publicity stunt building that pier and just brought one day worth of food in two months? Just wait until Trump decides to cover Gaza in rat poison.

                  Trump is evil, yes, but even you have to realize he would still be working with the existing US state department. The President has the power to stop or continue the genocide, yes, but covering Gaza in Rat Poison? That’s nit going to happen, especially because Israel is a Settler-Colonial state. They are taking land to live in.

                  You don’t like that Biden keeps selling arms to Israel? How about sending a carrier group and bombing those refugee camps directly?

                  That would be insanely monstrous and cruel, and would likely turn the rest of the International community against America.

                    A vote for Biden doesn’t move America to the left?

                    Insulin price cap, Medicare protection, student debt forgiveness, weed re-scheduling, etc.

                    Compare that to defundingthe the EPA, mass deportations, one TRILLION dollars in tax breaks for the rich, etc.

                    If you don’t think 180.000 dead Palestinians is better than 360.000 dead Palestinians, that’s a you problem.

                    And do i need to remind you of fucking Iraq? Guantanamo? Did America ever care about the international community and their opinion?
