If I’ve got two options and one of them reduces harm, and the other amplifies it, the only humane thing to do is the former.

The one you say reduces harm is detaining more people at the border than trump did and both aiding and denying a genocide.

When is it too far? What would be beyond the pale enough for you to turn your back on Biden?

I have to ask again: would you still vote for Biden instead of a third party if he were supplying weapons to and denying the bombing of American hospitals?

I know I sound like a broken record, but where’s the line?

If Joe Biden were blowing up American Hospitals than we’re well past the point where voting would accomplish anything. But he’s not doing that, he’s just selling arms to a longtime ally of America and not paying close enough attention to the reasons people are telling him to stop. Still bad, but…

Oh he’s only supplying weapons to a country committing a genocide and then denying that it’s a genocide in public.

I’m gonna ask some questions that will probably sound like accusations but I’m asking them to feel out who you are and what matters to you, not to accuse or harm:

Still bad but what?

So you wouldn’t support Biden if the genocide were happening to Palestinians on American soil, what about if it was French people being invaded and bombed by Israelis wielding American weapons? What if it was Libyans?

What if instead of pissing away the cost of any number of domestic programs in weapons shipments to israel, Biden was sending arms to russia to use on ukranians?
