Thanks for the feedback. At the risk of being a wise guy, could I suggest to them that Biden is not the president of Israel? I'm not saying that Biden couldn't be more forceful in dealing with Bibi. But there is clearly a generational divide telative to the plight of Israeli Jews.
My generation has embedded in my brain and DNA the picture…

My generation has embedded in my brain and DNA the pictures of the Holocaust. October 7th made me scream "No More!".
And yet, I weep for Gaza.
The bottom line is a choice between a president who does 90% of everything right and a fascist narcissist who will destroy us. And the US.
Not voting is a choice, just like choosing to vote, for a particular candidate, is a choice. It is certainly not a vote for fascism, more likely a vote against a corrupt duopoly that is leading us towards fascism.
Keep up the vote shaming, Bill. That’ll bring those young ‘uns around.
Any vote not for Joe Biden (or whoever the Democratic candidate for president is this year) is a vote that COULD have been for democracy. This is a battle with a fascist monster who was responsible for thousands of Covid deaths, who committed rape and fraud, who has threatened to dismantle the entire apparatus of Federal oversight of the environment, who has pledged to round up millions of people and either put them in camps or deport them (the people who produce our FOOD). That's just for starters.
Joe Biden is far from perfect. Show me a perfect president and I'll build a statue. But he is the best thing we have right now. Please read Project 2025 from the Heritage Foundation. Not voting for Biden is voting for THAT. And yes, not voting should be shamed and IMO, it should be mandatory. Read about Australia.
Your "duopoly" is a fantastical rationalization for not getting just what you want. It was probably Bernie. Who I voted for, BTW. The only one I like better is our Senator Warren. But I live in a real world.
There is a freight train of destruction, of a party that wants to establish a National Religion, who wants women to be subservient and without reproductive rights.
That train is packed with people who are worried about being "replaced by others". They should be worried. And they should be replaced.
Vote or don't complain when they come for you and your friends.
Any vote for Joe Biden could (don’t need all caps) be a vote for WWIII. You don’t live in a real world; were that true, you’d admit we don’t live in a democracy now. You live in a propagandized illusion; gatekeepers offer up candidates of their choosing, not yours.
I will vote, but not for your Genocide Joe, nor the asshole Trump.
They, our corrupt, corporate-owned government, both parties, have been coming for me and my friends since the mid-70s, and I’ve been complaining all along. You’ve been playing lesser evil politics, which brought us to where we are. Thanks a lot, Bill.
I’ve read 2025. It’s nothing new, a quest for absolute power by financial elites, a return to serfdom. The fact that they are closer to getting it is an indictment on all of us, but especially those who voted for the Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens, thinking they cared more about working people and the poor than corporate/wealthy donors. Well, you got exactly what you wanted. Chaos is coming. Own it.
If you dont vote for Biden, you are about to get exactly what you are predicting. The decline and fall of a wretched yet aspirational democracy.
You are so right about how money has corrupted everything. You are right about a lot.
But it does not matter what our political assessments are. You poo poo the Project 2025 as if you were a naive kid in Germany in the early 1930s.
Wake up. Keep the faith about how the Oligarchs and their political puppets have twisted our nation into knots. But your failure to combat the obvious and blatant and obscene threat to our nation in the form of a narcissistic madman says just one thing.
You want our nation to fail (own it!) because either you are very full of hate or...imagine this! You are actually a product of ChatGPT hired by Mr Slaughter Putin!
Now that was a boring conclusion, though I do admire the misplaced passion; I want America to fail, am full of hate, and a Russian bot.
I’m not poo-pooing 2025 anymore than I poo-pooed the Powell Memo back in the 70s, or the PNAC bullshit in the 90s.
Yeah, I’m just trying to do my bit to bring the dystopian future to the present, so my kids can experience the same hell that the children of Gaza are experiencing, and the candidate you want me to vote for is aiding and abetting. Next you’ll say I hate my kids, no?
When are you vote-shamers going to come up with some new material.
What I am saying is that Trump has announced that he will be Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Pol Pot and wishes he could be something like Alexander the Great. He will be just a pathetic Ponzi unless ... unless we all unite to oppose him.
Tom. It's Trump or us.
You ignore my alignment with many of your opinions.
There is corporate corruption embedded in our system.
“The lesson of Joe Biden’s depravity is not that it would be better to have Donald Trump in the White House, it’s that it doesn’t matter which one gets in, because only murderous monsters are allowed to play that role in the management of the US-centralized empire. The globe-spanning power structure which loosely revolves around Washington is held together by nonstop violence and abuse, and nobody who isn’t willing to inflict copious amounts of violence and abuse on human beings around the world will ever make it past the gatekeeping measures that have been placed between that office and the illusion of democracy that the American people have been deceived into believing is real.”
100%, Bill. But we (USA) either directly or indirectly provide the weapons. That’s why my kids say they’ll withhold their support. I try to tell them that I’ve often voted for “the lesser of two evils” but they come back at me, saying they’re already tired of doing that. It’s their votes. In the end.
IMO, not voting when we're staring down the barrel of the "no more elections ever" gun is kind of like not wearing a mask in a pandemic. You may not INTEND to get anyone sick unto death, but you may end up doing it, all the same.

But you have a naive sense of history.
So I want America to fail, am full of hate, a Russian bot, and now, naive. Good to know.
