    Voting for Biden without trying to tell him he needs to stop supporting genocide will likely still result in him losing.

      Weird how you didn’t deny being a Russian instigator stoking division among progressives.

          Yeah, sure. That’s the reason.

          It’s just completely out of the realm of possibility to prove that you’re not a Russian troll. /megasarcasm

          Where’d you live?

            Does it concern you a little bit, though, that I’m really American and there might be a lot more who think like me?

            Fine, assume I’m a Russian troll if you want, but it’d be smart to at least pretend that there’s a small possibility of there being a low turn out, and you should have a plan on how to address that.

            The idea of actually caring that 2.3 million people are on the brink of starvation is so foreign to you that you have to conjure fantasies of Russian troll farms targeting Lemmy to explain away complaints.

        What do you mean that doesn’t make sense?

        Biden’s approval is trash no matter what i’m doing here. There are voters that are already going to sit this out that need convincing; either you need to convince them to show up anyway (hold their nose to genocide to prevent more genocide), or you need to convince Biden that his position on genocide is a losing one (it looks like it already is)

        In 2016 Hilary lost because voters didn’t think the establishment gave a shit about their concerns, if you don’t think that’s a risk again all hope is lost.

            Why is it that when I point to the reality of the situation, suddenly I’m a troll?

            Bidens approval is at 38% right now, how many votes do you think that equates to?

            I don’t know what kind of campaign could make up that kind of deficit without a total about face.

      I did that. I’m also going to vote against more genocide, done not just abroad but at home.

      In the voting booth, there is no “no genocide” button. Your choices come down to “more genocide” and “less genocide”, and you get to push towards one outcome or the other.

      Personally, I’m going to take a brave stance against “more genocide”, but if your principles keep you from engaging with the real options, well.

      I’m sure the people who die who wouldn’t have otherwise will forgive you.
