The Biden administration is playing a shell game with the Gaza ceasefire that aims to trick the Democratic base into thinking meaningful action is taking place to end fighting while still allowing Israel to continue its genocidal campaign.

Biden needs to be held to a higher standard than Donald fucking Trump.

If my evaluations at work compared me to the absolute least competent person to do my job, I wouldn't really have much incentive to listen to any feedback, much less act on it. I don't get to justify myself by saying "I'm a better employee than Donald Trump would be." Oh, and it's worth noting that my job has a vastly smaller impact on people's lives than the goddamn President of the United States.

And here's the painfully obvious irony about what you're saying - if Biden were to actually get his head out of his ass regarding the atrocities that Israel is committing with US support, it would help his chances of reelection. Do you want Trump to win? If not, why are you so against the idea of trying to stop US involvement in the mass murder of innocent people?

I am very much in favor of everyone voting in every election they can (even though it seems like Democrats are doing a lot to keep people from wanting to). Voting is not sufficient by itself, but if voting made any difference, it would be illegal... and Republicans are trying very hard to make it illegal for many people to vote.

If having to make the trip yourself is a hurdle, then there may be people or organizations in your area who help people get rides to their polling place.
