The White House said Sunday that “it’s the right time” for Israel to scale back its military offensive in the Gaza Strip, as Israeli leaders again vowed to press ahead with their operation against the territory’s ruling Hamas militant group.
The comments exposed the growing differences between the close allies on the 100th day of the war.
Biden was hoping this would be one and done, but the longer it goes on the more it threatens the election. Sad that it has to work this way.
That said the sentiment that, “geez this is really bad for
PalestiniansBiden’s polling,” that dominates a lot of the US-centric media and political discourse is pretty disgusting. It always seems to be the case that now is always the worst time to act against war in any way.Damage already done anyway. Joe “I didn’t ask for a ceasefire” Biden has blood on his hands. A lot of it.
What does Biden’s polling or blood matter? Do we get a choice? The red party candidacy will go to Trump and the blue party is apparently planning to skip the election and keep Biden as president until he inevitably dies of old age because they’ve opted not to hold any debates.
Voting reform hasn’t happened, so without a miraculous level of coordination and turnout from like-minded voters, Biden being reelected is the best outcome we can hope for. Without a way to ensure a majority of states will vote third party (remember we still have the electoral college with unequal representation and most delegates are able to vote however they want, and many states first count votes by district), voting for a third party candidate is half a vote against your second choice. If you’re in a state where your vote actually matters, you can vote for a third party out of protest or because you really think the third party candidate is better, and then your least favored candidate can win as a result.
We need to move beyond voting in this broken system.
Personally I’m in Florida so my vote really means fuck all anyway since FL is solid red now so I’m going with third party. Claudia de la Cruz with PSL most likely.
We’re clearly never going to push Dems left by voting for them. The only other possible option for this system is “Move left or you will lose”. This least evil barely different shit is getting old. Beyond that we need to take to the streets.
Good luck continuing to provide no benefit to society with your Florida Man ideas.
We appreciate it!
Huh? Does Biden have a rats chance in hell of even being a little close in Florida? No. So I might as well enjoy pissing into the wind.
Average lesser evilist voter IQ right here
You’d rather have Trump on the throne?
A vote not cast is a vote in favour of your opposition.
Sadly, in the two party system of the US, the only effective alternative vote is the one for the lesser of two evils. At least there’s a chance that one will do some things right.
