    Yeah I voted for Biden last election. Obviously I knew that he was in power while the US was vaporizing brown children in the middle east, but I didn’t really fully process how horrifying that was until it happened to someone closer to me I guess. I know that both sides aren’t the same, but like they’re both so awful. One of them is genocide, and the other is genocide while undermining queer rights in the US. I might be just thinking emotionally instead of logically, but I can’t bring myself to vote for the genocide candidate.

    And I think that at the very least threatening to not vote for Biden will force him to change his foreign policy. If we’re sitting here saying “still vote blue next year!” then what motivation does Biden have to change anything? We know he won’t do it out of the goodness of his heart, cause he’s a fucking horrible person, so we have to try to scare him.
