I’m 4 of the things on the bottom track.

We need to get Joe Biden elected then make his life hell until he stops funding Israel.

Hell yeah.

Maybe we can get him to stop funding Israel before that, even. But first and foremost, fascism must be stopped, for the same reason that the Western Allies sided with the Soviet Union in WW2. We may despise each other, but there is a worse foe afoot.

We should also pressure our Congressional Representatives.

My rep called for a permanent ceasefire. Makes me at least somewhat happy I voted for him.

Also don't forget the supreme court. 2 of the conservatives justices are getting old and couldnpossibly retire during a trump term to assure a partisan republican court for several decades.

The comments have (no pun intended) gone off the rails. Locking.

Just because you'd pull one of those levers if it comes down to it doesn't mean you shouldn't do what you can to avert things before it comes to that.

I mean, if you've got a plan, I'm all for it. Absolutely, keep protesting against the genocide, boycotting Israeli goods, doing whatever you can. If you've got plans for a mass revolution taking to the streets, by all means.

But, if it comes down to it, election day comes and the current state of affairs is ongoing, you have to know which lever to pull, vile as it is. The greater evil helps no one.
