Jeffrey,
On 1st May you posted on Facebook that you "needed to learn more" and on 21st May you called on people "unhappy with Biden's handling of Israel/Gaza" to still vote for him. So my question to you is: where are you in your learning process? Have you formulated a position yet regarding the ongoing genocide? Is it good or bad?
Thank you and much appreciated.

Hi Christian! Genocide and killing is bad, natch!
As I wrote in my song "1 State Solution" I believe that a one state secular solution is the best solution, and it's the cause that I would align myself with. I'm quite uncomfortable with ethnic nationalism or theocracy, regardless of whose! One person, one vote, equal protection under the law, constitutional democracy, "it must stay democratic, here or overseas." And I believe it's crucial to make sure the Democrats win in the USA election, most vitally regarding worldwide all-species climate crisis, but also related to a number of other smaller topics. Trump must go. Although, ironically, I do appreciate his anti-war stance regarding Ukraine (see my Statics #2 for various thoughts on that). |
