    Rather than attempt to guilt millions of people into voting a guy carrying out a genocide, you should attempt to convince Biden to stop the genocide.

      Bruh, I’ve writen letters to him, been to multiple protests in D.C., and have called my Congressman multiple times (who already wants to stop the Genocide). You cant convince liberals to do a damn thing they dont want to do, but that won’t stop me from doing everything in my power to prevent a candidate that literally moved the Israeli embassy to Israel and would support their Genocide even harder than Biden already does. You will never convince democrats to do anything that weakens the USA’s Capitalist empire. Voting for the lesser of 2 evils still results in less evil in the world, and no systemic change will ever occur at the ballot box, the fact that some thinks that’s possible and should be held over other’s heads shows how out of touch they are with Material Conditions.

        If your lesser evil voting strategy ends with genocide either way, it’s time you try a new strategy.

          If your non-voting strategy results in more Genocide its time to take a long hard look in the mirror.

            Putting pressure on the democratic party to stop the genocide. Tell them they need to choose: genocide, or win elections. They can’t have both.

              That’s an extremely disappointing answer. You can’t put pressure on them if you have no leverage, and they know that. Something like a general strike would be far more effective and wouldn’t endanger our democracy.

          You think OP has a lot more power than they actually do if you’re attributing their actions to perpetuating the Palestinian genocide…

      attempt to guilt millions of people into accepting genocide

      lol this is hilarious considering the fact that you’re trying to “guilt” people into voting for some no-name or not voting at all, which is the same as voting for trump

      Yeah we should instead accept the same genocide but from Trump because we are protesting against Biden /s
