      If they want any chance in hell, they pick Biden.

      Trump rolls out the red carpet for Netanyahu and tries to secure the rights to build a hotel and golf resort on the beach in Gaza.

          If you think trump is a wild card on this topic I really don’t know what to tell you.

          If that’s your best option, that’s what you have to do.

          This is how logic and critical thinking work.

          Can you provide a better alternative?

            I’d say Jill Stein would probably be the best option for them of the choices we have.

              She’s not an option given the current state of the democratic system used in the country.

              The only way it works is if people banded together and changed the system, then a 3rd party system becomes viable.

                  If you think that’s how elections currently work in the United States, nothing I can say will help you.

                  For a 3rd party candidate to be viable, there would need to be enormous system changes or a very successful write in campaign.

                  I would love for other candidates to be an option, but that’s currently not the case.

                    For a 3rd party candidate to be viable…people literally just need to vote for them. She gonna be on the ballot for me to put a check by and everything.

                  By all means agitate for a better voting system. But until you have something other than FPP voting third party will do the opposite of what you want. This is a well known paradox of FPP, it has been well studied

                    Im voting for a better voting system. Jill also has ranked choice voting as a campaign platform. I think you’ll have a better chance trying to convince Trump supporters to join Zionist Biden’s campaign than me, and with much better returns on your goal of not electing Trump.

                Yeah, more people should be voting for her. Like, if you care about stuff like Biden using emergency powers to bypass congress to send missiles to Israel to help kill more Gazan civilians.

                    Yeah probably, everyone seems to either be voting for Trump so he can kill more brown folks, or voting for the guy currently genociding brown folks to stop trump from killing them. End result’s the same, im not voting for either of em.

                  She’s an anti science quack who has perpetuated global warming through her nuclear fear mongering. And that’s nothing to say of her vaccine skepticism. Nor hobnobbing with capitalist oligarchs who make US CEOs look like socialists.

                    Nuclear waste is its own environmental beast.

                    Skepticism is fine, and im assuming youre talking about the singular photo of her visiting Russia. She is running for president, even Bidens made Russia visits as a candidate

      Based on this article, I think they’d want Biden.

      There is a very clear choice now, that many of us have been trying to explain. Trump would be infinitely worse for Palestinians, and he proves it to you here. If you actually care about the Palestinians, it’s clear which of the two you should vote for.

      If you only care about scoring political points however and using the Palestinians as pawns to that end, I could see why your voting decision would be more challenging.

        I dont think you understand how dire things are for palestinians right now. Even if Trump were elected and Gaza was completely wiped off the map, he’d only be responsible for like 10% of the destruction. Its about to be completely gone, Rafah is the last place in Gaza and its already being bombed. Really tired of this lame excuse for Bidens genocide.
