    Trump is unpopular as well. Telling Arab-Americans they should fall in line and vote for someone actively contributing to genocide of Palestinians is monstrous behavior, I encourage you to touch grass.

      I’m not telling arab-americans to do anything. I invite you to chill out.

      You have two options.

      1. Biden who supports Israel almost completely in this war and is making at least some diplomatic effort to move toward a peace agreement.
      2. Trump who wanted a “complete Muslim ban” and wants to deport people who don’t completely support Israel.

      You tell me which option you pick. You can whine about wanting other options but you don’t have any. If you don’t want Trump then not voting for Biden helps Trump.

        Clearly Arab-Americans have decided that largely, they cannot abide either of these outcomes, and have ditched both genocidal parties in favor of non-genocidal parties.

        That’s why you need to touch grass, telling Arab-Americans that genocide must be tolerated and democracy doesn’t exist.

              Look I don’t friggin’ care who you are. Anything you do to help Trump win is going to be a bad thing to do. Biden is NOT the perfect candidate for you. There is no such thing. But Trump is certainly worse.

              You can sit back and say “yeah but arab americans don’t like him” – well too friggin’ bad. At the moment he’s the only other viable option. So quitcherbitchin’ and DON’T elect Trump FFS.

                How am I helping Trump win by not voting for Trump? Why is Biden entitled to my vote?

                How many genocides would it take for you to abandon “Lesser Evil” rhetoric? Would you vote for the real Nazi party if it was competing against Nazis+, rather than vote for a third party?

                  Because Trump is currently polling in the lead. If those numbers hold true then you’re standing by and letting him take over.

                  Your third party vote simply does not matter. The third party will not win and it won’t even be close. Not voting is just cowardly.

                  Voting for the lesser evil is the adult thing to do. It’s how every vote is. Pull up your big-boy/girl-pants and pick a candidate you hate because you hate the other candidate more. Because guess what - the other candidate is *much friggin’ worse" in this case.

                  So yes - vote for a Nazi because the Nazi++ may have won the second world war instead of lost.

                    If Trump is polling in the lead, then Biden needs to change gears or step down. Vibing a genocidal geriatric into winning just isn’t possible. Plus, if Biden wins, he gets to continue his game of genocide uncontested.

                    Your third party vote simply does not matter. The third party will not win and it won’t even be close. Not voting is just cowardly.

                    I’m actually undecided. If Biden swapped away from Genocide or stepped down, I would consider voting DNC, rather than PSL. Not voting is only cowardly if your only political participation is voting every 2 years, which is the least effective way to enact change.

                    Voting for the lesser evil is the adult thing to do. It’s how every vote is. Pull up your big-boy/girl-pants and pick a candidate you hate because you hate the other candidate more. Because guess what - the other candidate is *much friggin’ worse" in this case.

                    Gotcha, you want to slide down to hell and allow America to get itself nuked, rather than attempt to save lives. You’re an accelerationist, Gazans be damned.

                    So yes - vote for a Nazi because the Nazi++ may have won the second world war instead of lost.

                    Oh shit, the mask came off, lol. Guess you would vote for Hitler, rather than join leftists.
