Honestly, I think we're all tired of responding to this same absurd argument. The gamble that you propose is risking fascism AND doesn't have a high likelihood of success. Joe Biden stepping aside doesn't magically make Bibi stop the war. Bibi needs this shit to keep going to stay in power/out of prison. You're doing nothing to change that dynamic, if anything you're helping Bibi. And Joe Biden losing because they don't agree to a ceasefire does not stop the war, it escalates it.
I'm done responding to this, have a nice evening.
Without the endless flow of weapons from the US the genocide can't sustain itself. Cut them off, it stops.
I will never have a nice evening.
It's easy to gamble when you are comfortable. It's not so easy for the vast swathes of people trump views as undesirable when their rights and way of life is endangered (non-cis people, non-hetero people and women to name the first that come to mind). This is exactly why it's such a gamble and I agree with you that at this time idealism, while commendable and something I agree with, is in practice a luxury.
