Cannabis is currently classified along with drugs like heroin and LSD. The administration is expected to reschedule it in a category that includes steroids and Tylenol with codeine.
Well, no, that’s the one thing you can’t really argue. Biden is indistinguishable from Trump on Israel.
It’s difficult for neoliberal types to wrap their head around, but there is no meaningful difference because neither will stop Netanyahu and the IDF from doing what they’re doing. Biden has not been a moderating force here, he’s been a validating force. Biden sees Palestinians as subhumans the same way Trump does.
I disagree. Trump said the problem with Israel’s actions in Gaza is that they keep recording it, and that they should just finish the job. Netanyahu is so fond of Trump, he inaugurated a town after him in Golan Heights.
So Trump would suggest (again?) that they not record their atrocities…that’s the difference.
He doesn’t need to be president to suggest that.
Him giving them propaganda advice is immaterial to the fact that neither Biden nor Trump are or would do anything to hinder the actual genocide.
Netanyahu doesn’t have to like Biden, and in fact he routinely pisses right in Biden’s face and then goes and keeps doing what he’s doing. But yeah, Biden hasn’t publically suggested they should stop recording their atrocities. Oh man, what a fucking hero he is. It’s night and day!
Biden should be acting on the genocide but he isn’t and neither will Trump. The only two people capable of being in office in the next 4 years.
So pressure Congress, protest and do everything you can but in the meantime those two are nothing alike on most other issues and being a single issue voter has never made the system better.
You vote uncommitted/blank for the presidency if you want to communicate your unwillingness to tolerate democratic complicity in genocide to the Democrats.
The Uncommitted primary votes mean nothing if people aren’t credibly willing to follow through when Biden gives anti-genocide protestors the finger.
So you’re suggesting Trump then? I’m not sure if you’re aware of the state of the US election system, but there are two candidates that have a chance of being elected. One of them has a voter base that will vote regardless of criminal convictions for attempting to overturn an election, inciting an insurrection, and selling national secrets.
Unfortunately, if you view a vote as being complicit you’re complicit no matter what.
Because with the two party bias there are only two people capable of being in that office and not voting for either of them is still a vote in and of itself.
To be clear I don’t care who you vote for but you need to accept the reality that you are choosing one of the two whether you mean to or not.
That’s why Congress is the only realistic way we can pressure our political system to stop what’s currently going on. The government doesn’t stop at the president and plenty of our Congress supports it too which is what allows it to be the way it is.
Believe it or not US presidents have had blood on their hands for years. Even seemingly peaceful actions like the withdrawl from Afghanistan get blood everywhere. If elections could stop the bloodshed they would have.
The reality is voting does affect some things but its going to take far more than a vote to stop the killing.
Ok, you don’t believe in democratic rule and things like pur country being complicit in bloodshed and genocide are a foregone conclusion, got it. Blocked.

Ah yeah, I forgot, being against democratic complicity in genocide is being a “single issue voter”. I really need to get my priorities straight!
“Protest and do everything you can, just as along as you’re not willing to back it up with action.”
Let me ask this- Who do you suggest people vote for in order to not be supporting Israel?
You vote uncommitted/blank for the presidency if you want to communicate your unwillingness to tolerate democratic complicity in genocide to the Democrats.
The Uncommitted primary votes mean nothing if people aren’t credibly willing to follow through when Biden gives anti-genocide protestors the finger.

Why is it suggesting Trump? If a Republican abstains from voting for Trump is that a vote for Biden?

No. It’s not. It’s explicitly a non-vote.
Then you’ve failed to grasp the implicit bias that is baked into our political system.
I’m not saying it’s right we should absolutely be trying to change that. However it’s the truth.
Until we get something like ranked choice voting we are stuck voting for the best of two or giving power to the worse.
Or not voting for either to communicate a message.
Believe it or not US presidents have had blood on their hands for years. Even seemingly peaceful actions like the withdrawl from Afghanistan get blood everywhere. If elections could stop the bloodshed they would have.

Nobody here is stupid enough to fall for this bullshit… We all know how Trump feels about Israel, strongman leaders, and ethnostsates.
Trump takes office Jan. 20, and by the end of month, Netanyahu has a blank check to carry out his genocide.
But maybe that’s what you want…
Netanyahu already has a blank check. They’re sniping children in the streets you dolt.
