    Exactly. Biden isn’t doing the genocide.

    Supplying weapons? Sure.

    Enabling it? Maybe, yeah.

    Condemning it? No he is not, and should.

    But he isn’t DOING IT.

      I agree with you but the way things are right now, if you want to keep your right to criticize your government, you have to still vote for Biden at the election.

      If you stay home or vote for Orange Man, hating what your government is doing overseas will be the last thing you’ll be complaining about.

        Yeah, exactly. I hate it. I hate that NOT voting for Biden is one vote closer that Trump could win again and end our democracy like he is promising to do. That’s scary. And if that does happen we will never again have ANY votes for anything, let alone protesting a foreign genocide.

        We need to all be pushing and campaigning to get Ranked Choice Voting in as many states as we can.

        Until then the reality is we get to choose between A or B. There are no other viable options. You can choose to not vote, you can vote 3rd party, but that does absolutely nothing at all but toss the vote away. And you will never convince me otherwise until a 3rd party candidate gets anywhere close to the other 2. And 2-5% of the country is not that.

            Mr. Beast’s latest video did more to raise awareness of ranked choice voting than this election.

            Edit: Okay, it was 3 weeks ago. RCV is at the end.
