    Imagine the entirety of your vote hinging on a candidates policy regarding one single country regardless of their policy of your own.

        At least when I vote it’s to better MY OWN country first and not at the exclusion of others.

          Would you still vote for a candidate who is willingly funding the extermination of a race? How many people would it take for you to consider this before voting? 10k dead? 100k dead? 10 million? At what number do you start caring about humanity as a whole?

            ROFL… okay. You’re clearly going to make shit up in order to stay in the argument so I’m going to go ahead and just stop you right here.

              The number’s at around 18.7k and it’s only going to increase. There are other sources confirming similar numbers, and the majority of the deaths are civilians. People like you and me.

                I’ve heard Biden say Israel still has his support but needs to chill the fuck out. I haven’t heard anything near as strong from any Republican. So, even if you’re voting JUST on the Palestine issue, Biden is still marginally better than anyone else running with a chance to win. I really don’t see how this is so hard for people to understand.

                The 18.7 number doesnt even count the ones still buried under the rubble created by US weapons

        I can think of maybe 5 Republicans out of 200 that aren’t awful. It’s a pretty safe bet. If they weren’t “bad” they wouldn’t be Republicans.
