they are also clearly not a Biden supporter. They do not support either candidate, so the two options should be treated equally.

    This is that “enlightened centrism” false equivalence.

    I honestly can’t believe that in good faith you can compare Biden and Trump as equals.

    One is a president whos platform is making minimal change.

    The other is a president whos platform is to tear down democracy and human rights.

    If you honestly can look at these two and say they are equal than I have to conclude you are at least indifferent to maintaining democracy and human rights.

    I know the “counter argument” is about Biden and Israel/Gaza, but the thing is, that’s not really up for debate because I don’t believe there’s any chance Trump would be better about Gaza.

    There are 2 options:

    • death in Gaza and status quo in the US
    • death in Gaza and loss of human rights and possibly our democracy in the US

    maintaining democracy

    What definition of democracy are we using here? Just so we're on the same page.

    I do not think trump was making a meaningful change on that level, in any case. The US never had a true people's rule it that's what you mean, for trump to take it away.

    Gaza is not the only issue.
