    We don’t agree on those two facts.

    1. I don’t know if I truly believe there will be Palestinians by next January, so I don’t know if trump could be worse for them. If he takes office, he might be more enthusiastic, but I don’t think Netanyahu will stop as long as someone in the White House supports him. When Biden does it while holding his nose, it’s not less useful support.

    2. Not voting may help trump or Biden, depending on your jurisdiction.

      Oh boy, those are some pretty silly arguments. I can see why you’re supporting this nonsense then.

      1. Some 30,000 Palestineans are estimated to have died since October. You could have double that number die _every month _until January and there would be 4+ million Palestineans.

      Unless what, you think Bibbi is going to start dropping nukes? Really?

      1. Come on, that’s just the dumbest idea. Explain how an otherwise democratic voter, the type of voter whom the damn article is about, not voting somehow helps Biden.

        You’re rude to me too! How fun. This is my last reply.

        I absolutely see the escalation that has already occurred from each month to the next and understand how things could get much worse, much more quickly, without nuclear bombs (think about Dresden).

        A progressive voter in a solid blue area who will not vote for Biden but may have voted in this primary could absolutely help him by not voting for a third party candidate.

          Except, Dresden had a population of 600,000 and lost ~ 25000 people and many folks lived there throughout and after the war. Just like Palestinians will. And of course, if you read the news you’d know that Israel aims to have the bulk of their boots on the ground phase before the summer.

          Biden but may have voted in this primary could absolutely help him by not voting for a third party candidate.

          This is just silly. You might as well say Biden is actually helping Palestinians by not having the American military bomb Gaza.

          I think at this point, you know how nonsensical your position is, you just don’t have the maturity to admit it. At least, I hope that’s what’s up. Because these are truly childish arguments and if this nonsense is what we on the left have to offer then we deserve to lose elections.
