This would make a fine campaign ad.

@davew It's more like she's offering a hunk of wood with nails in it, vs. a platter of shit with bits of broken glass, tbh. I would much rather have a nice wooden log and maybe we can remove the nails, and you know, it won't smell or make me sick... but neither is edible. Oh and the log is also supporting genocide, which makes it a tougher call. Rooting for log with nails, just to be clear. Go log with nails. Yay log.

God I wish this were that simple. I really do.

@trisweb @davew the thing is if Biden were to withdraw his support for Israel he would just lose regardless of what you want.

@eastbaynian @davew Interestingly, he's also going to lose because he doesn't.

I never said it was easy. I never said it was simple.

Finding the next step in an impossible situation like this is the mark of a true leader. I'm not saying he needs to be a true leader to be the right choice, but shit an ounce of good leadership here would sure help.

@davew @eastbaynian @trisweb Voting for a presidential candidate isn’t a marriage proposal, it’s a chess move where you hope we move closer to a desired outcome. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@[email protected] @[email protected] I know the dichotomy very well, and I completely understand and appreciate your laying it out plainly. I am not saying both sides are equal. I'm saying that the dichotomy doesn't make one side good. And asking people to make that true doesn't make it so. Face the truth, and ask for the commitment. Don't make the ultimatum into a moral judgement. Don't make it into a binary. Make it a tough job we must roll up our sleeves and do together because it must be done. Because it must.
