Everyone on the left should be in serious fear of what will happen if Trump is re-elected. 2nd term will be exponentially worse. We must do everything we can to stop this outcome. I don’t care if I have to vote Biden to do that. This is a planetary emergency. We can’t fuck around

Biden's offense, ordering the deaths of 22 people in sovereign foreign territory in violation of the Constitution and international law, is much worse than the Ukraine call Trump was impeached over. This is a serious abuse of power and needs to be treated as such.

If you follow Shapiro's advice, I would suggest also looking at footage of the aftermath of an IDF airstrike, so that you can see what the pieces of a child's body look like. If you're going to face the horrors of war directly, face all of them. Don't do it selectively.

Force yourself to look at the videos of what Hamas did over the weekend. LOOK. This is what moral equivalence brings. Rape of women. Kidnapping of children. Murder of hundreds of innocents, including full families.

Chomsky has been arguing for decades that nothing endangers Israel’s security more than its policy of occupation, and those who call themselves “supporters of Israel” are in fact putting the whole population at risk by preferring expansion to peace.

There is going to be an attempt to convince you that criticizing Biden’s policies for being inadequate shows your “privilege” because it means your expectations are too high and you don’t appreciate what pittances mean to people with nothing. Do not fall for this.
