As the president begins his last international trip before the election, the fear in the crowd is that conflict in Gaza is tripping him up.

    Sorry to repeat this comment, but it really applies here too since I don’t disagree with either of you:

    Then it behooves all of us who want to stop Trump to give them other reasons to vote for Biden. We need to let them know that Trump is not going to be any less supportive of genocide and it’s either Trump or Biden. Voting third party or abstaining won’t change that.

    It helps if you try to convince people to vote on down ballot races too. Too many people think president is the most important thing to vote for when local and regional elections can matter far more on a personal level.

      SCOTUS nominations are probably the only thing gonna make me actually vote for Biden. He’s done some stuff that was good, sure, but no where near what I would have liked to see him accomplish, and his approach to the ongoing genocide is inexcusable, but I can’t let that mean I help Trump decide the court layouts for the rest of my life by staying home.

        Right, this election, and the last, where more about who the president surrounds themselves with. Who they appoint to key positions. Not the individual.
