    Hey that’s my girlfriend! We met online and plan to meet IRL later this year, once her grandmother recovers from her surgery. (It was expensive too I had to send her $10K to help out with the costs) Love you Kristy!

        Ha! No. She told me she chose that name as a tribute to her grandma. Who I’ve just found out will need to go into 24 hour care, luckily I can drop my health insurance to help with the costs. Then I’m gonna buy Kristy and I plane tickets to meet up in Hawaii. I might have to sell my car but it’s going to be so good.

          Wow, sorry to hear about her grandma! Kristy is so lucky to have you!

          sell my car

          Listen, you only live once. Ladies like Kristy are totally worth the inconvenience of selling your car and the difficulties that will definitely result from this impulsive action. I hope you enjoy the trip to sunny Hawaii together!

    For those choosing not to vote for Biden, voting for a genocidist in a US federal election doesn’t put blood on your hands.

    This isn’t fabricated consent (I mean it is in that lumpins are told to believe they chose the government when they didn’t).

    Here’s the thing: The office seat will be filled whether or not you vote. And you get one non-transferable vote.

    This means you get to vote against the worse popular guy by voting for his most likely contender.

    It’s the trolley problem, only millions are voting on the position of the lever. What we cannot do is move the lever out of position.

    It’s still up to you. Taking action is harder than not taking action, but we are staring down Project 2025, the neutering of elections in the US and one-party autocracy (the Republican party), which will also speed up the dismantling of civil rights in the US. If you don’t want that to happen, please consider voting against Trump and any other Republicans down ballot.

    Yes, it sucks the US is reduced to this sorry state.

      Biden also isnt the one doing a genocide. He’s the one trying to navigate a complex geopolitical clusterfuck, while dealing a genocidal maniac who very clearly wants Donald Trump to win so he can turn the genocide up to 11.

      The intentional willingness to suck all nuance out of this conversation and reduce it to a single binary purity test is complete madness. It’s hard to believe anyone pushing this rhetoric is operating in good faith.

      Also worth noting, this is not mutually exclusive with other efforts! Keep pressuring the Democratic party, keep protesting, keep boycotting Israel-invested companies!

    I love how the words they chose to bold were VOTING and BIDEN for their message.

    Like, who would even fall for this stuff? It is so blatantly obvious.

    Are there really people who would believe anything just because it has a picture of a pretty lady?

    I’m also not voting Biden. In fact i refuse to vote neither of them, because i’m not living in US and not a US citizen.

    Essentially this implies you have to be mark material for Nigerian princes in order to not vote for Biden (id est vote against Trump).

    It also implies that enough of US voters are, indeed, that naïve.

      Or maybe people can’t bring themselves to vote for someone funding and enabling a genocide. I’ll be voting for a 3rd party candidate so there won’t be blood on my hands.

      You do you tho but don’t be surprised when people shit on you for supporting a genocide when you tell them you voted for Biden

        Donald Trump thanks you from the cold depths of his orange heart.

        You do you tho but don’t be surprised when people shit on you for ensuring a Trump victory, when he makes good on his pledge to help Israel “finish them all”

          Ah yes, it’s my fault for not wanting to vote for Biden and not Bidens fault for committing a genocide and making his voter base absolutely fucking hate him.

            Oh that’s definitely his fault, but you are presented 2 bad options and have chosen the worst one out of principle.

            Please be practical. I want the best for Palestine, and unfortunately the best US presidential candidate for them with a chance of winning is Biden. “best” meaning least worst…

            Send a message all you’d like, but I’d rather minimize the inevitable damage than say “told you so” while standing and watching everything burn.

                I’m not shaming you for not wanting to vote for him, I don’t want to either, I’m trying to convince people that voting for him is in Palestine’s best interest (better than Trump winning).

                  See that’s your problem, you shouldn’t be convincing people to vote for Biden. You should be convincing Biden to be someone worth voting for.
