For all of those people who think voting against Biden is a way of sending a "message", look at how Republicans, the Trump cult and their supporters are reacting to the demonstrations.
Look at Speaker Johnson, listen to the right-wing rhetoric and watch the police use of force. Now imagine a Trump administration. Do you think the Gaza situation would improve? Do you think Bibi would get less support or be restrained? How about the police?
I remember 2016 and listening to some of my very Liberal friends trying to rationalize a Stein vote or a blank. They couldn't see a difference between Hillary and Trump. Well, looking at the Supreme Court, now they can. A difference that will last the rest of their lives.
A President's term is not just 4 years. Court appointments last a literal lifetime.

(22,500 posts)If Trump loses, will you speak out against police responses, the situation in Gaza, the U.S.'s support of Netanyahu?

(1,235 posts)He belongs in jail. When Biden wins, I will speak out against all the things I always spoke out against. I have always been against police actions against minorities and peaceful protesters. I always have been for a 2-state solution and, as I said, I think Trump's friend, Bibi is a threat to the whole middle East, not just Israel.
But if Trump wins, those problems will be the least of the problems for American citizens.
