Twenty-nine percent of non-voters who supported Biden in 2020 said U.S. support for the genocide was the top reason they sat the 2024 election, according to a survey by YouGov.

I think we've exhausted this part of the conversation. We don't know what's going to happen next term, because it's in the future. We've both made good arguments. Whether democracy will continue to exist is uncertain.

I don't think the non-voters should have bet their entire country on a gamble like that.

I am not saying that they should have, but it is telling Biden was willing to risk it, since they made their stance clear during the primaries.

PS: Also if you believe that capitalists would be willing to go along with it, it would also make a lot of congressmen, senators and judges redundant. So they may also have something to say about that, even if they are Republican.

I thought we were talking about the voters. Just two days ago, you suggested we reconsider voting for the lesser evil.
