Only 17% of Arab American voters say they will vote for Biden in 2024, according to a new poll.

    I disapprove of both.

    The situation is the fault of Democrats so I won’t be voting for them. I won’t vote at all. My views are not represented

      Or instead of serving the side which is in even more in favour of genocide (Republicans) by not voting, you could actually vote in the Democratic primaries in an attempt to ensure they have better candidates.

      Your aggressive apathy only serves one side.

        Right now, we have a Democrat president. He is the man with the power - and therefore the responsibility - to condemn any atrocities commited. And what is he doing? In every speech he makes, he is openly supporting Israel and its policies. And he doesn’t just stop at words, he supports a gigantic aid package for Israel as well.

        There is nothing “higher” in the genocide-supporter-olympics.

        Even more in favor of genocide? What’s the difference when the end result is the same? Israel will not stop until it has completely wiped out the Palestinians and taken their land by killing them or otherwise removing them. Let’s pretend democrats are better in this regard (questionable, given the crazy amount of additional billions that Biden has pledged to Israel while they’re actively committing genocide), is a slow genocide any better than a slightly faster one? Excuses are made in other policies as “harm reduction” which is already a flimsy excuse in matters not as deadly but where is the harm reduction here?

        Do you guys enjoy continually going through this cycle of ‘vote for the least bad war criminal or society will collapse’ every 4 years? You realise that you’re going to lose at some point, right? It amazes me that liberals keep doing this and never think of trying anything else.

          The ‘something else’ would be a better voting system that’s not two party. In the meantime, our choices are bad or worse.

            Maybe you should put this energy in advocating for change, rather than shaming people into voting for war criminals. You say “in the meantime” like it’s just going to come around to you with no action.

              A vote happens once every four years. We are perfectly capable of doing other things on non-voting days. It’s not mutually exclusive
