This person does not speak for the entire uncommitted movement. Many people participating will not be voting for Biden come November. And more importantly they won’t be participating in any GotV campaigns for the general. There won’t be any “heroic” GotV campaigns that carried Biden in 2020. I won’t call it for Trump yet. He might not have any juice left in him either. But its going to be close.

If Biden wants my vote he can show he has the strength to twist Bibi’s arm. The longer he takes the harder he better twist. His October surprise better be a No Fly Zone over Palestine, '67 borders. Obviously, he won’t. But if we can pretend he will I can pretend I’ll vote for him. Asking thousands of activists to not just vote for genocide but actively campaign for it is more futile than harassing Biden.

Why give up all leverage before the general election even starts? Why start negotiations from a place of complete weakness? Even if you are planning to vote for Biden, you don’t say that or admit that now! There needs to be a real threat of not voting for Biden in the general election so that concessions can be granted in exchange for your vote for Biden in the general election. That is how politics generally work. If there is no threat, why would Biden ever make concessions? He knows that he has your vote already, there is no incentive for him, or pressure on him to do so. There needs to be some actual actual pressure.

How are radlibs this bad at politics?

Yeah I’m gonna have to parrot Felix here. I’m only going to vote for Biden if the Knesset is a smoking ruin and every member there is executed for war crimes on livestream in front of the entire world.

Also even saying this got them called a fascist tankie in the comments because they can’t bear the thought of anyone even slightly disrespecting genocide Joe in any context that matters outside of snarky memes

Punnet square: axis #1, do you think Israel is committing genocide in Gaza? axis #2, do you think Trump will literal end democracy in America?
