      You said there is no clear choice between. A party that supports killing innocents and racism. And a party that supports killing innocents. It’s not hard math.

        Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there more dead on the Gaza side? What’s the math of that?

      I mean, if both are killing innocents, but one is killing innocents on top of being racist, it’s pretty obvious that the racist one is worse. A kindergartener could check that math.

          That’s what this entire post is about. You’re accomplishing jack shit by not voting.

            Wrong, supporting criminals with blood on their hands is evil and make things worst. If the red and blue party start to lose votes they have to go in damage mode and actually change their policies to get their votes back. As long as people support and vote for them they don’t really have to change anything, they cycle in power.

              This is WHAT THE POST IS ABOUT. Putting Trump in office to try to influence the Dems is incredibly stupid and we’ve been responding to this tripe ALL YEAR already. Trump will be worse on Palestine, Ukraine, actively seek to harm LGBT golems and Central/Southern American immigrants and be worse on tons of issues like labor laws, financial regulations, the environment, on and on. So, no. What you’re proposing is a naive and clueless idea.

                The only naive and clueless idea is supporting your government while its fueling a genocide where kids are being murdered daily

                  Can you read, at all? What you’re saying is the precise stupid shit that this post is about and I’ve already pointed out that almost always, people sharing that viewpoint simply say something stupid and insulting about genocide and miss the entire point. So good job. I’m not going to bother to repeat it, but I’ll point out that claiming people are “supporting their government” by voting is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard lately.

        It’s interesting how you have to resort to being dismissive when I say that I don’t like seeing innocents killed.

        You say you’re voting for ‘harm reduction’. But, factually, supporting Israel is increasing harm, not reducing it. You might be upset with me because you’re rationalising painful reality.

        I have no choice, due to autism, but to accept reality for what it is. And it’s not nice, because living in a world where it is politically expedient to support killing innocent people sucks. I want nothing to do with it, and I would swap with someone in Palestine so that I could die, instead.
