President Joe Biden’s support for the Israeli military offensive in Gaza mixed with student anger over police crackdowns on anti-war campus protests are complicating the work of Democratic youth groups trying to engage classmates and other Generation Z voters ahead of this year’s election.
I want people to understand that protesting genocide should happen in the street, and not at the polls. You seem to want to create friction rather than provide information.
This is a post about supporting Biden in the face of genocide. Did you not read the article that spurred the conversation? No one here is supporting genocide. It’s a conversation about voting. By commenting that Biden needs to change his stance on genocide, you imply a lack of support unless he does. How is that not clear? It’s contextual.
Even in the single issue of genocide, Trump is worse.
He is, yes. Why are you trying to convince me? I’m already voting for Biden. Do you suppose your scolding and utter inability to listen is gonna convince single-issue voters to vote for the genocide you support?
Biden must adapt to the political reality. There are people who won’t vote for him because he supports genocide.
I’m not one of them. but since you don’t want Biden to abandon support for genocide, you’ll keep ignoring that and lecturing me for pointing out what Biden needs to do.
I never said that. You repeatedly misrepresent my stance in an attempt to escalate the discussion. It won’t work with me. I would love Biden to take the unprecedented steps to withdraw all support from Israel. I don’t expect it to happen at all, let alone by November. Every time you comment to equate that action to votes for Biden, you will see my corrective reply.
No one is happy about it. You happen to be very vocal about protesting by abstaining from voting for someone that intends to vote.
I literally said in the comment you’re replying to that I’m voting for Biden.
I never told anyone to not vote. You just want all opposition to genocide to shut up forever.
I want people to understand that protesting genocide should happen in the street, and not at the polls. You seem to want to create friction rather than provide information.
But you ignore it anytime anyone who opposes genocide says that they’re voting for Biden. And you imagine advocacy against voting where none exists.
In bad faith.

I was pointing out the political reality: single-issue voters exist. Biden must adapt.
Adaptation involves less support for genocide, and that upsets you.
Even in the single issue of genocide, Trump is worse. He’s already stated that Israel should finish what they started in Gaza, but stop recording their atrocities.
