Ah, yes, everyone in the uncommitted campaign in the primary is now going to not vote, or vote third-party.

They are flipping from Biden to “I can’t in good confidence vote for a guy who supports the whole-cloth genocide of a people”.

Oh, cool, then they'll in good confidence ensure a guy gets in who supports the whole-cloth genocide of multiple peoples, including the ones they're supposedly protesting against. Great. I'll thank them from the camp showers.

You are just throwing the whole thing because some people are more committed to their morals than you are, and you aren't convincing the people who need to be convinced with this approach to rhetoric. You are just driving them further and further away from being able to consider Biden.

If you focused your ire where it belong, on Biden, and were making an argument that we can drag him to where he needs to be, you might actually help him pick up a vote or two.

Even better, you could make the point directly that you can't in good conscious vote for him if he doesn't shift his position on Gaza, there-by bringing significantly more voters to Bidens table than just yourself.

Like I said, this is between Biden and the couch, but all you are doing is scoring points for the couch.

Yeah, some people are more committed to killing MORE Palestinians AND Americans in addition, as well as Ukrainians; rather than killing fewer Palestinians. Great morals they have. I hope we don't end up in the same camp.

Oh they won't be letting me get to the camps. My names out there and I've been doxxed by white nationalists directly for my work. I've been loud and clear about my stance against fascism since long before Trump.

Cute. Not sure you understand how fascist regimes operate when they get to the 'camp' phase of things.

Yeah, that's only reinforcement that you'll be in the camps with the rest of us. We'll probably be bunkmates in the barracks, with my luck. At least we won't have to tolerate each other long.

Bro, they won't be letting me get to the camps. I'll be dead in my driveway long before they even finish the site suitability analysis.
