Pretty much no one likes every single thing that a politician they have voted for ever does once they get into office. I suppose that many Trump voters back in '16 may have felt that way about him throughout his term. They certainly condoned and defended every single thing that he did while in office and did their damnedest to keep him from having to pay for any of it. But for the most part, it is normally to be expected that a politician who you vote for isn't going to make you happy 100% of the time. I understand this and did when I voted for Biden in 2020. Trump had to be stopped.
I never really liked Biden all that much. I had really hoped for a much better Democratic candidate than him, last time and this time. And of course there are several things that he has done and not done that piss me off a lot. But I have to say that he has actually done a much better job on the whole than I expected him to. The economy is tracking in the right direction. Crime is down, wages and employment are up in record ways. Unions are increasing. He worked out a very effective bipartisan plan to deal with the border that the Trump Party crushed. He's right on the nose with Ukraine.
But his handling of Israel in this Gaza/Hamas war has left me unable to defend his actions any longer.
Sure, it's easy to say that he's backed into an impossible corner. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. But continuing to send Israel weapons to use on innocent Gazans in the face of the genocide that Israel has seemingly pulled all the stops out to commit is simply inexcusable.
When I heard the other day that we are sending Israel eighteen hundred 2,000-pound bombs, that was it. I lost it. Bombs that take out entire city blocks. Bombs that level entire communities. Bombs that kill dozens at a time and have no other purpose. The fact that he is going through with such a transaction knowing full well what Netanyahu intends to do with them absolutely shocks and disgusts me. It is a despicable thing that he is doing, and has been doing, and I completely and totally disagree and detest what he is doing.
So that in itself is worthy of my hatred towards him. But what I also hate him for is that even with his despicable facilitation of Netanyahu's genocide against innocent Gazans that I hate him for... I still have to vote for him, God damn it.
Talk about being backed into a corner! The person who I have to vote for in order to do what I can to save our democracy and our constitutional system of government... to save our very country from the demented whims of a megalomaniacal, white supremacist, criminal, immoral, psychopathic mob boss... is someone who is facilitating a genocide.
Whatever anyone's issues are with Biden, doing whatever is in our power to stop this country from being turned into Russia on crack should be the number one goal of any voting American citizen I would think. It has certainly become mine. All the other issues can be addressed once that has been accomplished in this election. But we will never be able to address any issues if we don't at least do that and stop Trump from a lifetime term as Dictator first.
Whatever I have come to hate Biden for, whatever despicable things he does, I know he will at least protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies, foreign or domestic as he swore an oath to do. That oath is something that we all watched Trump blatantly wipe his ass with throughout his entire term and since. And we are witnessing the rest of the Trump Party falling in line to wipe their asses with it too. The Constitution has become an inconvenient barrier to them. Democracy and the will of the people have proven to be their enemy and of no help to them at all, So it must all be destroyed. How any American could shirk their duty as Americans to allow it to happen flabbergasts me.
So I absolutely hate Biden for making me have to vote for someone who facilitates genocide in order to do my part to stop this country from being destroyed. I hate him for putting me in this position between a very large rock and an extremely hard place. But I will still have to vote for him.
My vote for him does not condone or support what he is doing with regard to arming Israel. I do not support or condone this genocide against innocent Palestinians in any way whatsoever.
My vote for Biden will simply be the most I can do to save the United States of America and our Constitution from quite literal destruction.
I had to swear the same oath Biden did when I worked for the census. And it doesn't expire. So I can't sit at home on election day, facilitating the destruction of our Constitution by not doing the very least I could to to try to save this country from a deplorable demise.
I am obligated by my sworn oath to protect and defend, by whatever means at my disposal, our Constitution from all enemies, foreign or domestic.
Or orange.
