    That’s cool, but choosing to do nothing is also a choice and you’ll see worse results under Trump, maybe even American forces helping out in the genocide, complete withdrawal of any Palestinian relief efforts, even more weapons provided without any conditions, and repression of groups here in the US. Saving the Palestinians would be great, but throwing out everything else for their sake when it won’t even make a difference just seems childish. If Trump gets power again, you won’t even have the freedom to worry about the Palestinians anymore, but you’ll still have to live with dead Palestinian children under rubble.

    With Biden, there’s at least attempts at trying to reign in the Israelis. The US has less sway over the Israelis than what many probably think, as we can see with Israel’s/Netanyahu’s flippant attitude towards Biden’s urgings for restraint. Israel specifically started positioning itself to be less reliant on US influence since the 90s. We should still just stop sending them weapons altogether, but at least under Biden there an effort to stop it (as ineffectual as they are). Under Trump, the US will give increased enthusiastic support.

      People like Ozma don’t seem to care about any of that. Their disingenuous agenda appears to have no other purpose than to smear Biden and nothing else. Many people have tried explaining how things work just as you have, and many even brought proof to support their argument.

      This dude just shuts down and stops responding when he runs out of excuses to not vote. This is about as bad-faith as it gets. You’re better off just citing how it’s wrong than trying to get this person to listen to reason.

      Cardi is a fraud. She’s trying to boost her brand. Nothing more.
