To all those people who keep saying that in order to not have Trump back in 2025, everyone must suck it up and vote Biden, this is why that just can't happen.

Sure Trump is bad in many ways but Biden's insistence on helping Netenyahu no matter what will lose him the election.

I'm not making a case for Trump, btw. Both things can be bad at the same time. For people who are seeing Gazans die for no reason, Biden cannot come back into office again. Does that mean we want Trump? Of course not, and that's why voting for anyone else makes sense.

If voting for anyone else means you're voting for Trump, so be it!

People who get anxious at criticism of Biden should dedicate their energy to pressure the US government to grow some brain cells and stop behaving like lunatics, not at berating everyone who expresses angst at their complicity with genocide.

Democratic governments aren't some force of nature that will do as they please no matter the consequences. You, as their constituents, can signal to them that their actions may make them lose the next election. If you want young people to vote for Biden, what's more likely to do the trick, to endlessly argue with the few of them you'll find on Lemmy, or to have Biden stop ruining his own image for no gain?
