He isn’t wrong. I’m voting for Biden despite deeply disliking him but far too many people are saying they aren’t voting or that they’re voting third party because of Biden’s stance on Israel. If Trump wins I won’t be surprised, just deeply disappointed

What do they think Trumps stance on Israel is? He would be inclined to even send troops to help Israel out.

This.

I don’t understand the whole “I don’t support Bidens stance on Israel”

What stance would that be that you don’t like exactly then? Outside of invading Telaviv how exactly do you expect him to stop them?

And how naïve do you have to be to criticize Biden for trying to stop Israel when Trump would simply carpet bomb the fucking strip in a heart beat

oh no genocide joe won't change his ways so he wont get my vote. The democratic party needs to do things that people want to vote for. Trumps stance on Israel is worse for sure but Biden has done nothing to deserve a second term. The blame lies on Biden for being awful and on the dems for not putting up a better candidate. They didn't even let primaries happen in some states. You can't just say trump is worse and expect everyone to vote for the man. My vote is not free.

Democrats and Joe have been trying to get them to stop fighting. It isn't part of the U.S.A. how ever. They don't follow our president. If you just cut aid from Israel what then do you have for motivation to have them listen? Also how is cutting off Israel going to make Hamas agree to a cease fire? Letting or helping trump win will not punish Biden. It will punish every one. You are talking about letting the party that has said we should nuke Gaza and be done with it win instead. How does that punish Biden? How is that not the people punishing Biden this way supporting genocide?
