    But Biden is old and, according to this poll I found, unexciting

    How will I decide whether voting is even important at all; I’m not motivated

      Or the ones who say they can’t vote for Biden because he’s not doing the things he’s not got the power to do. All in pursuit of some ephemeral moral High Ground. Which they think exonerates them of all the genocide and killing that will still happen. Possibly even increase if such actions were to be taken.

      They all think they’ve got a simple easily implementable answer to all the problems. Despite the best minds of generations of people having been unable to actually solve it. The ignorance and hubris is palpable.

      I think the easiest and most simple to implement solution to all this. Would be to time travel back to the selection of places for Israel to be carved out of. And hard veto Palestine somehow.

          What you don’t understand, is that they’ll still get delivered. Wait…. I’m pretty sure you DO understand this. But it really messes up your propaganda if you were to admit it.

            No they won’t. Wait, I’m sorry, let’s hear it. How do you think the weapons are going to be delivered if Israel is declared completely ineligible under the Leahy Law and FSA?

              ROFL… show how you don’t know how congress works without saying you don’t know how congress works.

              Even if Biden is able to halt it- which he isn’t…. When you succeed in getting Trump elected, he’s going to go HAM on Palestine. So tell us again how much you care to stop it again?

                I’m sorry, but by what method exactly will Congress bypass the Leahy Law and FSA?

                None of this schoolyard innuendo. Prove your knowledge.

                  You mean like when I asked you to provide a name of someone running that could win against Trump in November?

                  You forgot didn’t you?

                  You had no answer. I asked you several times. You refused to answer. Proving that no only do you not have anything better to say than “dOn’T vOtE fOr biDeN!” You have no clue what your end game is.

                  And in case you forgot- I said I had no intention to ever take a thing you say seriously. That means I’m not entertaining any of your questions where you refused to answer mine.

                    That’s because you keep fever dreaming that I care about that. Like it’s some kind of gotcha moment.

                    But I’ve made it pretty clear that it’s a price I’m willing to accept because the realistic damage Trump can do is already happening.

                    So, now. How is Congress going to get around Biden? Do they have 67 votes in the Senate and 290 votes in the house to override his veto? Do they have 60 votes in the Senate to repeal the Leahy Law and Foreign Assistance Act?

                    What physical method will they use to deliver weapons the Pentagon and State won’t move and the US Marshals will impound if they have to?

                    Edit to add, you also keep ignoring I’m absolutely willing to vote for Biden if he stops supporting this genocide.

        Love seeing both of you in the comment sections of these posts! Far left lunacy needs to be put in check.

      I don’t understand your comment. Are you being sarcastic?

      Edit: downvoters, it was a genuine question. Nowadays it’s hard to know when people are being serious or sarcastic. I’m glad the poster was sarcastic in the end.

        I am

        I am lampooning a certain population on Lemmy who like to come up with an endless variety of specious reasons not to vote for Biden. Some of their reasons are pretty much exactly as I stated, and to me they are outweighed by “Trump wants to kill anyone who disobeys him, so we shouldn’t put him in charge of the military” among other issues, and so hence the lampooning.
