    Really feels like Israel is trying to do the old Russian misinformation game even on Lemmy these days to try and suppress blue votes on a single wedge issue because they know it’s the only way to get Trump elected and get more guns and bombs than they’re already getting, and they wouldn’t get pushback at all for Rafah or any warnings of any sort, just a blank check for wanton genocide.

    Like I don’t like what’s happening in Palestine, but I don’t want to make it worse by pretending a non vote would somehow help them. Helping them would be ensuring that the party least likely to enable Israel the most is elected. That’s Joe Biden. Some people have ridiculous nicknames for him but my god wait until they make this look like restraint if Trump gets elected. Palestine would cease to exist almost immediately and Israel will de facto annex it, like Russia is trying to do in Ukraine.

    So really you can vote to minimize the pain and suffering of Palestinians or you can not vote to minimize the pain and suffering of Palestinians. Personally I’m gonna vote to minimize the pain and suffering of Palestinians, and also support the environment (again not to the degree I desire), and support abortion access, and trans rights, and taxes for the wealthiest Americans, and, the list goes on, but yeah, I’m gonna vote for Joe Biden.

      I swear to god, the orange parasite could shit in their living room carpet, and so many idiots would still declare through lazy, stupid inaction that bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe.

      What you say is a reasoned, nuanced argument. Too many people are beyond the reach of reason and nuance.

      You know what? I’m starting to think that “psyop campaigns” are the Boogeyman of the Democrats the same way that Trans and Drag queens are used by the Republicans.

      An easy scapegoat to wave away complaints about other issues.

      Cause now Israel is on here complaining about the lack of change? I get they are absolutely running a disinformation campaign about themselves and the war but you think they are complaining about Biden?

      I don’t disbelieve that it’s happening. There is always someone doing exactly what you would hope no human would ever do, but when it’s every single complaint that can be turned into a simple scare crow of a villain then it feels disingenuous
