    I’ll give my two cents on why I won’t for Biden. Simply put, foreign policy doesn’t matter the president. So for me its about punishing an incumbent to possibly set precedence moving forward that supporting genocide won’t get you re-elected.

      If foreign policy “doesn’t matter the president” why are you trying to punish a president over a foreign policy issue. By your logic isn’t Biden not actually responsible?

        Because maybe you can set precedence going forward. So presidents and elected officials will know it’s a red line they don’t step over if they want to get re-elected. Biden is responsible because he can choose not to support Israel but he does. He’s complicit in genocide and apartheid. So have past presidents been.

          But you’re rewarding a different bad behavior with your inaction. I hope you realize that.

            I’m not rewarding genocide. Imagine biden gets re-elected, walks right into the white house and says, “guys I can get re elected even after committing genocide. I helped slaughter 30k+ innocent civilians including women and children and it didn’t even change my election chances” yeah no.

              If you can legally vote. And you help trump win by not voting for the only guy that can beat him, you are helping to enable Trump into office and thus commit a hell lot more genocide.

          How would they know that? Why wouldn’t they take the opposite lesson, and assume that Biden losing is because of opposition to perceived liberalism in the Biden administration and support of Trump’s alt-right policies?

          Because that’s certainly what Trump’s gonna be claiming in his victory speech. “Today we won a great victory over the woke leftists who want to poison our blood…”

            Because we have groups in states such as Michigan which are very pro palestine and anti war. If not many vote for Biden then they’ll know. Polls can always be conducted later asking people why they didn’t vote for someone or voted for someone else.

              Oh yes, what a fruitful exercize, asking people defined by their refusal to answer an opinion poll to answer an opinion poll!

              This will definitely be top priority at DNC headquarters as Trump begins arresting them for being socialists!

        I’m not sacrificing democracy. I’m simply not willing to vote for someone who’s helped commit genocide. Fyi, people said the same thing about trump last time he was elected but here we are. Democracy in America is already broken.

      Bro, that’s not two cents, that’s pocket lint and an old cough drop. Your entire statement is a contradiction.
