    Oh? I thought it was the choice of the people… The people may not want to vote for another genocide supporter. Maybe they won’t vote at all?

    In your version of this, Biden gets away with anything just because Trump exists. You don’t want Trump to win? Why not run independently? 😬

      That’s what I said, the choice of the people is between Biden who will let Israel buy weapons and Trump who has said he will be dictator for a day to deport Muslims, just like he did before.

      “In the wake of the attacks on Israel, Americans have been disgusted to see the open support for terrorists among the legions of foreign nationals on college campuses. They’re teaching your children hate,” he said. “Under the Trump administration, we will revoke the student visas of radical anti-American and antisemitic foreigners at our colleges and universities and we will send them straight back home.” -Donald Trump Oct 17 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/17/trump-muslim-ban-gaza-refugees

      In response, Israel has been shelling Gaza and carrying out airstrikes that have killed thousands of Palestinians:

      “Sometimes you have to let things play out.”

      -Donald Trump 11/10/23

      Not voting is you proclaiming, “But but but what if the world was nicer to me!”

        I think people with your kind of opinion ruin democracy because they rob voters of a choice. Putting the blame on voters rather than politicians is rubbish.
