When you compare Biden to Trump vs. the effects on the Palestinians, were Trump president again, he would not just help the Israelis exterminate the Palestinians, but encourage them to do so quickly- as he’s already told Bibi to “finish it”. So your dichotomy is more than a bit disingenuous .

Voting the lesser evil still leads to evil in the long run.

You got a practical alternative you’d like to share with the class?

Vote in your local elections, and support (or directly work to pass) election reform laws, particularly related to ditching the electoral college.

Not necessarily saying it’s the alternative, but it’s a start and local elections have larger personal impact most of the time.

I agree with all of this, but it’s not an alternative, it’s just an additional vector of action. My question is about alternatives to Biden for president in this election.

I’m all for socialism long term solution. I’m confused as to how that is an alternative to voting against the present greatest threat to socialism that can be voted against. What is the material implementation of “socialism” which provides a timely alternative to that action?

When the choice is between the lesser evil, and losing our democracy, having our LGBTQ+ friends and family lose their rights to exist and feel good in their own skin, our sisters, mothers, and daughters losing their body autonomy…

I’ll take the lesser evil- ANY FUCKING DAY YOU ASK.

But NOW we’ll start organizing… more than we had been previously! I swear we won’t declare victory and do basically nothing political at all for the next 4 years.
