    It’s nuts to me how there was a recent poll showing Biden taking a hit in swing states, presumably because of the wide and unprecedented public support for Palestinian freedom, and how the reaction among some liberals is turning in to, “Biden’s support for genocide is bad now because Trump could win again.” Criticizing the US supporting the genocide, through the spectacle of partisan politics, turns in to, “this is how you get another Trump victory.” Instead of vocalizing the disapproval, it’s like “don’t say anything because it could help Trump.”

      Cue some liberals telling us “tough shit, vote for Biden anyway” You’re right talking about it in a partisan lens is a huge problem. The government is meant to represent us, all we should need to do is make sure they know how we feel.
