In order not to be isolated in using its veto power in support of Israel again, the US mission is trying to get others to abstain

Crazy that you think Trump will be in any way friendlier to Palestinians

Did endorsing genocide boost your FICO score?

I just wish I could vote for both of them. :(

Crazy you think ignoring genocide is the how you beat fascism.

Crazy how you think doing nothing will improve anything

I'm not doing nothing, I just happen to refuse to do one thing (among many things) they asked me to do

Not voting is doing nothing, good job

You're posting garbage on the internet. You're doing less than nothing. Don't even try and claim that you're organizing or knocking on doors because those would be complete and total lies.

The absolute gall with which you seem to think you have any context into other people's lives is hilarious. Not voting is doing nothing

The GoP literally want to dismantle democracy. Project 2025 is known about. If Trump wins, I suspect there will be no more properly free elections

That's the issue. At least with Biden, you get to vote again in 2028 and have it matter

Will I get to choose between two candidates that support genocide in 2028? Oh boy!
