    Simply vote for the man who is actively supplying the weapons to kill your family/kill ppl just like you because Trump is a giant bigot and would do the exact same if not worse?

    FTFY.

    But to answer your question, yes. In America 99.99% of the time we have to vote for the fractionally lesser of two evils and Biden is that. Not voting IS voting for Trump. It is a stupid selfish thing that does nothing for no one. Giving in to apathy by not voting is giving up on democracy and right now we are either voting to continue democracy or giving in to fascism.

    Just to be clear I don’t endorse what the US is letting Israel do to Gaza and Palestinians and I’ve let my local representatives know this. I also wish there was someone other than Trump or Biden who had any chance at all of winning the next presidential election.

      This comment is stupid selfish. Choosing not to vote for an administration that supplied the weapons that killed your family is the exact opposite of apathy.

        I guess we’ll lose the votes of all seven people this possibly applies to

        Thereby helping the candidate who wants to enthusiastically bomb said family and assist Israel in annexing remaining lands, I suppose that will end this conflict, but not in the way they want.
