They think Trump is BETTER on Gaza?
Mr. "Nobody has done more for the Jewish people than me"?

If Gaza is your single issue in '24 there's NOBODY to vote for.
Don't be a single issue voter either. Shit is too important to throw away your most valuable resource to combat climate change, ensure world peace, fund science and medical research, and equal rights for everyone.
Vote like your life depends on it. Because it does. Federal and local elections. It's very important everyone vote.
Young people not voting is very, very bad for Biden though.
Young people not voting is explicitly voting for a christofascist though.
yay "democracy"
In every voting system, not voting is equivalent to a vote for the worst option.
That’s how democracy in general works. Even with ranked choice voting, if someone only puts candidate A as their choice because they disagree with everyone else, then their vote doesn’t count if candidate A is eliminated in the first round.
Not voting at all just lowers the threshold needed to win.
because this system wont bring what people actually want/need.
motherfuckers will have to actually get up and fight for it to be changed for the better.
Yeah well we got him. The alternative wants to ban Muslims and queer people. It fucking sucks, vote anyway
It is what it is. If we care about climate change and LGBT people, there's a clear action we have to take.
Exactly
I'm sure they don't, but they're saying Biden's decisions will make them not vote for him
And not voting is just selfish. Trump's policies would kill more Palestinians, and we'd go decades back on climate change. The purity of one's ideals isn't worth more than that.
There's definitely someone to vote against, though.
White House doesn't get our soldiers on the ground and is only there to make sure this doesn't explode into something bigger.
It also was successful (unfortunately not always) in persuading Israel into some relief to civilians.
Trump essentially lit a fuse for this conflict: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-partly-blame-situation-israel-opinion-1833933
I mean the US is giving so much to Israel that they shouldn't be persuading, they should be demanding it. Even Reagan did it.
