Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.

“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”

“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”

    You’re voting for genocide no matter what. You’re just voting to genocide harder if you do anything other than vote for Biden.

        Nah, that’s splitting the Biden vote. Which is helping Trump. Which is a vote in favor of even more genocide.

                Literally not even true. There can be only one President, and the party that gets the most votes wins. It’s very easy math if you’re interested in truth. Which you are not.
