    If you insist in framing it that way, know that it comes with the job of being US president https://chomsky.info/1990____-2/

    If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.

    and Biden is far from the worst in the war crime enabler list, considering he has to deter the most fascist Israeli government ever…

    So…go vote for the least bad option that disempowers you the least.

      Instead of voting for war criminals, how about not?

      You don’t fill in a hole by taking a lesser amount of dirt out. Likewise you don’t fix the system by voting for the lesser evil.

        Did you see Chomsky’s list? All presidents eventually become war criminals, even if it is by complicit passivity, even that “saint” Jimmy Carter (because of allowing Indonesia to proceed with genocide in East Timor).

        By that standard, even Chomsky as president would have been a war criminal if he had just made a deal to allow Ukraine to be invaded by russia with impunity.

        You get nothing for your cause by letting trump win. Nothing. And you will lose on lots of fronts that affect you personally, including protest, which at least allows you to control the israelis a little bit.
