Maybe she knows that Biden losing would only result in worse deviation for Gaza.

"You have no real choice in US but to vote for genocide"

yes, thank you for this searing critique of electoralism that everyone here is already aware of

The two aren't equal. In our two party system, a vote for Biden is a vote against Trump. Sometimes the best option you have on a ballot is harm reduction, you can't expect voting to fix everything. We need to organize outside electorialism, but voting is still an essential task in slowing down fascism.

Sounds like a totally dogshit system we shouldn't lend credibility to if the only choices are unlimited genocide or allegedly slightly more genocide
