Not a plan. It’s about principles. Contrary to belief, some people like to sleep well at night knowing they did the moral thing. If you are willing to give up your principles and accept a genocide, then those people see you no different than Trump and the MAGA fascists. { In layman’s terms: Two wrongs don’t make a right }
Assisting the greater evil to get elected is not the moral thing. It’s being stupid and ignoring the reality of our political system. You want an actual genocide? Trump is your man, far more likely to instigate one.
Are you denying the genocide in Gaza? Or do you just not care? Is your need to defeat Trump more important than the 10,000+ deaths, and the future deaths that will occur? If defeating Trump and whatever future chaos he may bring is more important to you than a present genocide, I am not, nor will I ever be an ally. I won’t compromise my humanity for a socially constructed “election.” Your pragmatism isn’t logical, and is downright dangerous.
Is your need to defeat Trump more important than the 10,000+ deaths … If defeating Trump and whatever future chaos he may bring is more important to you than a present genocide
If you think Trump will care about deaths in Gaza more than Biden, you are a moron. If you care about minimizing deaths there, the right thing to do is support the viable candidate that is closest to your position. That’s Biden. He at least pretends to care and supports a humanitarian cease-fire. Given Trump’s stances on the middle east and his racist anti-Arab policies, I suspect he approves of more bombings.

Spreading your illogical lack of pragmatism will ensure the opposite of what you want occurs.
genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group
Genocide implies intention. Israel’s intention is not to eradicate Arabs or Muslims, it is defense against a hostile enemy and return of the people they kidnapped. 20% of Israeli citizens are Arab Muslim and they are not being attacked like Gaza is. Just because Israel just happens to be attacked by a belligerent enemy territory that is monoethnic does not make defending themselves genocide.
Trump, however, does target people with his racist policies specifically because they are Arab Muslim.
You do realize forcing people to vote for Biden may lead to the Streisand effect. And result in voters having such disdain for Biden and his supporters that they refuse to vote at all.
Forcing them? I’m pointing out that not doing so works against said people’s interests. Not voting for Biden is choosing the greater evil and it will lead to the opposite of what they want. It’s like refusing to buy property when playing monopoly then complaining about losing the game.
I fail to see how the Streisand effect is relevant here.

This speaks volumes, and you probably have no idea why.

Maybe rethink your whole process.

Me. You’re persuading me not to vote. And the more you whine about “interests,” the more it makes me dislike Biden. So, yeah, it applies.
