    … if that’s true, then elections don’t matter in the first place! What the fuck?

    If the outcome will not change regardless of who is President, why are you crawling up my dick about refusing to vote for Biden?

        That’s more reasonable.

        I still think you’re wrong, I think Biden can be forced to endorse a ceasefire because politicians actually do care about elections. Right now the Biden team believes that Democrats are loyal to the core and can be counted to vote blue no matter who, there’s zero incentive to endorse a ceasefire. Why bother? He can do anything he wants to you and you’ll still vote for him. They’ve basically said as much.

        And do you realize what that does? That’s not a “single issue”. Biden broke the railroad strike. Biden approved the Willow oil and gas pipeline project. Biden has fought to keep Trump’s COVID border policies, despite basically giving up entirely on controlling the spread of the virus otherwise. Biden allowed Manchin to stonewall almost everything when there was a huge Democratic majority.

        By voting blue no matter who, you have enabled Biden to completely ignore the demands of his own base. You’re enabling genocide.
