Biden supporters going to the polls to stop fascists at home but a-okay with helping cause the genocide of middle eastern people.
There isn't really a third option. I'm not a fan of Biden and wanted to see either Sanders or Warren win the Primary back in 2020. And I still think a Sanders win in 2016 would have put the US on a very different trajectory, but ya know, it was Her turn and DNC Primary voters got what they asked for. So now we're stuck with the reality we have, rather than the realty we want. And the political reality in the US is that the next US President is either going to be Joe Biden or Donald Trump (talk of Trump losing the GOP primary is just wishful thinking and news sites trying to drive clicks). We don't have an option which doesn't support genocide in Palestine. So, once again, we're stuck choosing the lesser of two evils. We either get a President who might ask for Israel to think about not engaging in genocide, and whose other policies are fairly reasonable. Or, we can have a President who will likely ask how he can get in on raping Palestinians while also trying to fuck over the American people as hard as possible. Ya, our politics is currently fucked, but we can't un-fuck it by letting a bigger dick fuck us all.
They can choose between genocide in Israel, and genocide in Israel with a side of fascism in the US and even more genocide in Mexico and the US. I don't blame them.
You could say vote third party, but the Dem-Rep axis has as much chance of being voted out as Putin.
Maybe protests could work, but only if at the scale of at least the BLM stuff, but the US is far too divided for that.
The choices are genocide and climate apocalypse, or genocide and climate apocalypse.
