2020 was... truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn't get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I'm going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I'm done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I'm gonna do my best to fight that.

Every single US president has backed Israel. Trump was the one that actually moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

    Backing genocide and not telling Israel to stop bombing, as even Republican presidents like Reagan have done, takes Biden from 'the lesser of two evils' to just evil. I won't support genocide.

    I won't be shamed for not supporting genocide either. That's on the Democratic party and Biden.
