Part is the fact that the Americans most likely to be upset by the violence in Gaza are the same that are likely to vote for him. And he’s being largely unreceptive to their criticism. In any other election, that would mean his base would probably just let his opponent win. There’s an obvious problem with that this time.
Basically, Biden is forcing the nation’s left wing to pick between showing their disdain for genocide overseas and stopping fascism to at home. It’s not a fair choice and people are bitter about it.
They’re choosing between the party that will not try to implement fascism while supporting Israel and the party that will try while also supporting Israel. Why would anyone think that the fucking Republicans won’t support Israel?
It also assumes that you view the democrats as a credible counter to rising fascism… They’re currently trying to pass a fascist border bill, and literally using our military to aid in an ongoing genocide.
I don’t think there’s a choice to be made and I will not be voting for either.
If you are set on not voting in the presidential election, I would like to encourage you to still vote (if you didn’t already intend to) and just not vote on that question on the ballot, for two reaons:
Local ballot measures and politicians are still quite relevant and your vote is still fairly impactful there relative to the federal election (depending on your state) and
it sends a significantly stronger message to both parties that they are putting forward garbage candidates to vote and just abstain from the one question. Not voting is easy to mislabel as voter suppression by the opposition or any number of other misleading causes when voting, just not for Biden or trump is much more clear what you are mad about.
Our local elections only happen on off years to suppress turnout, and it’s overwhelmingly dominated by landlords and NIMBYs, trust me I’m involved, but that shit is absolutely calcified.

Because their goal, unbeknownst to some of them, is to get Pootie’s chosen puppet back in power.
What complete self defeating bullshit you’ve discovered.

My goodness you history is filled with full throated support for any and all division propaganda.
People could just vote null.
