    You’re trying to hold progressives and leftists to a different standard than everybody else. You’re insisting we have to vote for someone acting against our interests while excusing others for signaling they wouldn’t vote for Biden if he did.

    Fuck. That. Shit.

    Your polling calculus only holds up if people like me show up to vote for Biden. So I’ll change that calculus: I’m voting 3rd party.

    See? Now you can go deal with the people who insist Biden keep sending weapons to Israel. It’s not my problem anymore.

      If progressives are smarter and more informed than everyone else, then yes I hold them to a higher standard. I’m one of them, and yes I hold myself to a higher standard than anyone else.

      So I’ll change that calculus: I’m voting 3rd party.

      And in doing so, you’ll doom Ukrainian women and children, as well as Palestinian women and children because of your pouting for years to come and that disgusts me. But go for it. I can’t teach morality over Lemmy.

        Lol that’s even worse! Not only are you holding us to a different standard you’re spending your time and energy lecturing people like me instead of doing the very thing you told me to do.

        focus on changing the opinions of Jewish Americans

        You go do that.
