      Lmao, no I’m not.

      This will be my last post because we’re not getting anywhere: But I am not pro genocide. None of any of my comments in this thread have alluded as such. I am just as aware and horrified. But I’m being realistic. The US has the blood of many nations on their hands and it doesn’t make me all warm and fuzzy, but in the next few weeks, I believe that the greatest use in my vote is at the very least putting someone in office who isn’t going to tell Israel to get it over with and just kill everyone.

      All the third party does in its current state is take dem votes, making easier for the right. Dems are not going to get any message, the right will just get the key to the city. Now, is that going to be the case next time around? I’ll do what I can, no matter how small, to change that. But this year, this election, the best we can hope for is to minimize the damage because that is our only realistic option.

      Both sides are commuting genocide, so are you okay with doing nothing? Do you truly believe Trump will be just as bad in office, and therefore it doesn’t matter? That’s a question I cannot answer for you. If you believe that voting 3rd party is going to make your stand or help someone, there’s nothing else for me to say. It just is what it is and we’ll have to let the pieces fall where they may.

      As important as I think this election is, we’re just going to have to agree to disagree.

        Then you have to vote third party. Israel is already doing that to the best of their abilities with US support.
