    I just don’t believe that risking Trump getting elected [risking this particular harm] will help this particular cause

    That’s almost exactly what I said. And I agree, it won’t be effective [e.g. ‘help’ this particular cause] if libs keep running cover for his campaign regardless of what he does.

    Nothing I’ve said about protesting until the election has changed. Being loud so other people see the lack of support raises the stakes for Biden so he is compelled to reason.

    Like I said, you don’t think the risk is worth the cause, that’s fine.

      Yeah, I get that. Makes sense to me.

      Not exactly. A different way to say it would be, the cause is so important and the risk to the Palestinian people (among many others) so potentially catastrophic if Trump wins, that I’m hesitant to support this strategy. But yeah I get where you’re coming from.
