Regardless of who wins the US election, there's a good chance we'll be on the wrong side of WW3 if it pops off because Israel refuses to stop their genocide

Like, there's a real chance that Biden wins, and makes us side with Israel, and then either we're just as bad as the Axis Powers in WW2 or we fight a fucking civil war where trump supporters side with Biden's admin to support Israel's genocide of Palestinians.

I don't think people are realizing how big of a deal it might be that we're running Biden instead of someone who agrees with the basic principles of the Dem voters.

Multiple countries have refused to cooperate with the ICC in the past. For example, Sudan has refused to turn over a leader wanted for genocide. And of course Putin is also wanted by the ICC.

The majority of people indicted by the ICC were never brought to trial. Defying the ICC has never sparked a war, and it certainly won't spark WW3.

And the idea that Americans would fight a civil war over Gaza is absurd. Americans rate Gaza at the bottom of their list of important issues. It's like suggesting Americans would fight a civil war over net neutrality. Net neutrality is extremely popular but nobody is willing to die over it.

Finally, on the issues that actually matter the most to Democrats, Biden does agree with their basic principles.

Nice to see someone pushing back against the propaganda on Lemmy, this place is absurd sometimes.
