If genocide is a red line for voting than every citizen who has voted within our life time would have crossed it. Our whole political system upholds genocide from local to presidential. A red line and acceptable are not actual synonyms like you are inferring. I do things I don’t find acceptable all the time because they are better than the other option and its less acceptable to allow the alternative to happen. I can have gencodie and fascism in america or just genocide. Neither is acceptable. One will happen whether I make a decision or not.

Absolutely. Remember everyone: some of the people wearing your colors are only pretending to be on your side.

Don’t evaluate sources for loyalty; evaluate ideas for validity.

Know your own values, and get good at thinking critically. Then double check everything that you think, and that others are saying, to find out if there are any bugs or malicious code, changing outcomes away from what it should be per your values.

Yup.

I fully support a cease fire, but I also put ZERO blame on Biden for what another democratic country does.

People blaming Biden for Israel are either trolls or massive morons that do not understand geopolitics.

People really put America in the center of everything and act like they must do everything while also being angry at them for being the international police.

Russia has a hand in Israel and the middle eastern conflicts as does China and India and Saudi Arabia. Why is Joe Biden responsible for everything? Congress is more responsible if anything deserves scrutiny.

Calling him Genocide Joe because of another country’s actions just exposes someone’s stupidity and inability to view situations as complexly as they actually are.

That said fuck Israel and Bibi can suck my turds I’d toss a brick at that fascist fuck if given the chance.

Exactly this. And they’re beyond reasoning with. Best to just ask them who has a better chance to win in November and watch them squirm out of the conversation.

It’s a lot easier to call them out for what they are this way than it is to argue with them.

Not in picture: the majority of Democrats that support a cease fire.

Biden supports a ceasefire. The only people resisting a ceasefire are Netanyahu and the Republican party.

Biden has been improving his position, but he needs encouragement. That is why I say there are Democrats not in picture: a bunch of us are still protesting and writing. The letter responses have improved from “we need to take out Hamas” to “we we’re working with coalitions to get aide in”.

He supports a ceasefire only if his Israeli overlords accept it. He won’t attempt to use any leverage such as our munitions supply to Israel to attempt to force it though.

Still far better than the orange man who would outright assist Israel with exterminating Palestine.

If the ‘anti-trump coalition’ consists of people voting entirely to avoid a trump presidency, why does the coalition building only consist of capitulation to the views of the anti-trump republicans

Because a split on the left, in this case, guarantees a right win. You should, however fight for what you think is right on all days of the year, not just on election season.

This. What you can vote for in the election depends heavily on what happens between elections.

If “we have to vote trump out of office” is the platform and everything else is immaterial, why not run a more progressive campaign instead of trying to win the vote of people who won’t vote Dem again

Because biden is not progressive, and since votes on the left are not realy going to trump, he is trying to win votes at the “center-right”. To the risk of loosing some votes on the left, yes.
