    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.

      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 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.

              Biden must adapt if he wants the votes of PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ME but won’t vote like you want them to because for them, the genocide you do nothing but support is a dealbreaker.

              Now ignore the all-caps portion and act like I’m a trumpist some more, since you can’t defend genocide.

                  You’re not convincing any rational person to agree with your monochromatic views.

                  No rational person supports genocide.

                    US has been supporting genocide for more than 50 years. Glad you’ve become enlightened lol. Stop denigrating Biden for US policy dating back a century.
