    It’s quite easy to be mad at Joe Biden for enabling this war in Gaza while also recognizing Trump would be worse. I wrote to Biden yesterday telling him that while he has my vote in November, he shouldn’t expect any financial support from me while American citizens are killed by (likely) American munitions.

    A healthy response to bad policy is never “whatabout the other guy?!?” it’s to put pressure on the policy maker to change their stance.

      Why do I always hear this line when I criticize vote strikers and punishment voting and other white left bullshit?

      This is like the reversal of “white people accuse you of being Un-American when you protest against racism.”, “White leftists accuse you of being pro-genocide and/or anti-criticism when you attack vote striking and punishment voting.”

        I said I was voting for him so I don’t know what your complaint even is. It’s not just white people mad about this. The article is literally about Muslims refusing to meet with the president.
