    Neither Biden nor Trump will do anything about making Israel stop in Palestine, and Biden will be better than Trump overall as president. Refusing to vote for him is a privileged position which essentially throws gays, trans, Muslims, minorities, and the entire American democracy under the bus to satisfy your pride. It’s time to grow up.

      Biden will do something when he starts feeling the heat of losing enough votes.

      You can try to downplay and ignore the issue. Tell the kids that they “need to support Genocide like real grown ups”. But that’s not going to work.

        Acting like a grown-up means voting strategically, especially when the other option is a fascist. Staying home to pout, or voting third party which amounts to the same thing, is an infantile position which reeks of “I got mine, fuck everyone else” privilege.

        You might weather a second Trump term okay due to your privilege. Plenty of folks won’t be so lucky, and if you refuse to vote for Biden in November, you’re just as guilty as the MAGA conservatives who voted for Trump if he wins.
