    minimize the amounts of deaths by genocide

    Supporting the guy thats continuing to fund and arm genocide is not minimizing death

      It is if that guy can get the genocide to stop earlier than the other guy could. Or if the other guy would stop it earlier then vote for him.

        It is 100% within Biden’s power to have stopped it October 8. The exact same way that Ronald Reagan did when Israel was bombing Lebanon in 1982. All he has to do is threaten to cut off funding and weapons exactly like Ronald Reagan did in 1982. Ronald Reagan got results, Joe Biden the self-proclaimed Zionist, has refused to do the same thing that he has the power to do.

          You are allowed to believe that Israel would have not responded to Hamas after Oct 7th militarily if Biden had acted differently, or that they would stop if Biden acted differently now. Or that they would if Trump won and then he threatened to cut off funding and weapons (if you think he would actually do anything Israel didn’t like).

          If you think those things, then pick the person who is going to do the thing that will have the result you want. If neither will do the thing, it’s a moot point.

            then pick the person

            Thats more of the lesser evil myth. Neither is getting a vote from me, they have not earned it.

              You’re just going in circles now. We covered this. There is one major party candidate whose election will result in less death via genocide. Pick the one you think it is and vote for them or you will be helping the one who will cause more death via genocide.

              You are free to vote for whoever you want, but it’s not much of a stand against genocide to be so indignant that you decide to help the person that will result in more death via genocide.

                  That’s exactly full circle to where we came from. No death is not on the ballot in an election for US president.

                    Thats a crock of shit. The only thing on the ballot is protecting the status quo, the status quo that enriches the wealthy, while the rest of us get fucked over and/or killed.
