The word you're looking for there is "yet", and that "yet" would be doing a whole lot of heavy lifting.

I'll defer back to my initial comment - if you want to let Trump in and find out, you'd better be ready to shut it when he does worse.

You cannot beat anyone over the head with a moral cudgel when you are supporting genocide. Period. Frankly, supporting Biden -- perhaps the most ardent Zionist in American politics -- is so morally despicable that it makes me feel physically ill. If you the status quo is acceptable to you, then by all means continue giving it your approval.

Don't you fucking dare, however, suggest that people refusing to hand their vote to that evil cretin are somehow the ones OK with what's going on in Palestine.
