    I loathe Biden’s enabling of the slaughter and starvation in Gaza. I hate this current state of political theatrics where he talks compassion, airdrops inadequate amounts of food and builds ports for 2 months, and the whole time sends Israel billions of dollars and weapons every 36 hours and puts no pressure on them to stop blocking aid on existing routes. However, I was turned off this current will-we-won’t-we vote game by Bernie Sander’s video “Democracy is at Stake”. If you’re undecided about what to do, I’d recommend taking the few minutes to watch it.

    It is absolutely vital that Trump not win. The one principle that determines my morality is “make the decision that brings the least amount of suffering into the world”. The harm to the whole world if Trump gets in is even worse than the horrors of starvation and violence affecting 2.2 million Palestinians, especially given that Trump will make no move to stop that. You know how the left makes fun of ultra-Conservatives that promote stupid choices just to “own the libs”? Letting Trump win the Presidency to protest Biden is the national version of that for Democrats and undecided - a bad decision that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
