    No, but he would probably say to vote for the candidate that mentions they’re open up integration vs the candidate who wants to make slavery a thing again.

                That’s the entirety of what we’re discussing. Biden or Trump. Binary choice. You’re getting one of em.

                  Sure, but what each of those candidates does is flexible, and one of those candidates can fulfill some action in that role right now.

                  And since that candidate needs our votes, we have some degree of bargaining power over what that candidate chooses to do right now and for the next 7 months.

                    Do you?

                    If Biden doesn’t stop helping Israel, you’ll help the other guy get elected? What kind of bargain is that?

                    You’re playing with fire by threatening that. It’s a terrible, terrible gamble. If you lose, countless more people will die. Are you okay having that on your conscience?

                    This is the world’s biggest trolley problem, and you’re advocating for “don’t pull the lever even though more people will die”
