Going up to people who are publicly considering withholding their vote over Biden’s handling of the situation in Gaza, calling them irrational, and demanding they do something they believe is against their morals is “asshole behavior.” It’s almost like you’re saying “the issue you care enough about that your willing to risk a second Trump term doesn’t matter to me.” This behavior is often referred to as “vote-scolding.”
I will probably still vote for Biden, but I understand why other won’t, and I don’t think he should be evaluated only in comparison to Trump.
What we don’t want Israel to do is use LGBTQ people as propaganda, especially against Palestinians. It’s unproductive, and it disgusts me everytime someone uses “Hamas would throw you off a roof” as a cheap gotcha.
