    Hello, this is me. I was speaking on the fact that I can’t vote for someone who is not upholding the values he claimed to have. America has committed too many war crimes and genocides in the name of democracy, and we can’t even uphold it? Shame on us

      I do not support orange man, nor will I ever. However we cant just fear monger, and just not do anything to change whats going on because “Trump is worse”. Joe Biden is JUST as harmful as Donald Duck (trump). (2)

      Joe Biden weaponizes real issues we struggle with to seem more “progressive” when at the end of the day, what he is holding over our heads is BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. So lets discuss some facts (3)

      Biden caring about reproductive rights, should be because he believes we need to have them, not because it guarantees votes. So seeing the lack of menstrual products, prenatal care, anesthesia, medical care in gaza, should have made him infuriated.(4)

      Even for Trump, who wants to ban abortions, Pro-life arguments also makes sense here. Babies in the womb are either dying, or are born to die. The issue in Gaza is simply exposing the hypocrisy within our own governments and candidates.(5)

      I am not a single issue voter. Unless you view our democracy not functioning like a democracy as a single issue voter then you do you. FACT IS Biden and Orange man are the same, one is just making you think you’re rights are guaranteed, as we see them get taken away

      Also how can we comfortably say Joe Biden is going to protect us, when he doesn’t actually have the morals he claims he will uphold. We can use Gaza as a great example. Which I will be getting into.

      As a president, you cannot surpass congress to send more aid. To claim Trump is a fascist, when you are actually running a dictatorship is extremely bold and quite offensive. He’s saying “Americans aren’t smart enough to see my lies because they are so worried about Trump”

      So before you get mad at me, and spend your time arguing over what I said. Call your reps and let them know Joe Biden needs to do better. Do not blame me, blame Biden. We are enabling his behavior by blindly supporting him. We need to call him out.

      ACCOUNTABILITY is a must, and is a lesson I learned. If we truly believe we are the land of the free, and we hold a democracy, lets test it out. If Biden cares about our democracy, he will do whatever he can to ensure its running. 80% of democrats wants a ceasefire!!

      Also as Americans, we need to be also holding ourselves accountable. There are consequences to people’s actions and that includes politicians. We all are sick and tired of this cycle. Biden has been in office for 12 years (counting his VP).

      So he is well aware how this functions. Also aware of the constitution and the fact that you cant just bomb places (yemen) without approval of congress.

      Also for those saying biden has no control and did all that he can do, lets forget the billions of aid sent. What about all the UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire that the US vetoed. Again, a majority vote in the UN overruled by the US.

      What’s democratic about that?
      Also why did we decrease public school funding under Biden? We need to wake up and realize that our candidates are viewing this presidency as a business transaction and not as a responsibility to protect this country.

      Also, does not it not make you feel gross, that I have to be speaking like this and using American policy to explain to you why a genocide is bad. I have to set my emotions aside and ignore the fact that there is a real threat my entire ethnicity and identity will be wiped away.

      Regardless of who wins, its going to be bad. If we continue arguing over who’s the lesser evil, and not try and stop the evil. We are arguing who’s worse, when both of them are the exact same. One is orange, the other is white. Let’s do something about it.

      I call on all of you, regardless of your political affiliation. To call on Joe Biden, to do his job and put America’s interest first.
      We cannot say “well what can I do if these people are losing their basic human rights, we cant lose our” The person who is responsible for those losing their basic rights, is running this country. How can you trust him to protect yours? You cant pick and choose morality.

      Have we gotten so used to our luxuries that we forgot how to fight injustice. I will not be scared to speak up nor will I be shamed into it. For those who disagree with me, I thank you, you give me reason to do more research to prove you wrong, and make my argument stronger.
