As the title states I am confused on this matter. The way I see it, the USA has a two party system and in the next few weeks they’re either going to have Trump or Harris as president, come inauguration day. With this in mind doesn’t it make sense to vote for the person least likely to escalate the situation even more.
Giving your vote to an independent or worse not voting at all, just gives more of a chance for Trump to win the election and then who knows what crazy stuff he will allow, or encourage, Israel to get away with.
I really don’t get the logic. As sure nobody wants to vote for a party allowing these heinous crimes to be committed, but given you’re getting one of them shouldn’t you be voting for the one that will be the least horrible of the two.
Please don’t come at me with pro-Israeli rhetoric as this isn’t the post for that, I’m asking about why people would make such choices and I’m not up for debate on the Middle East, on this post, you can DM me for that.
Edit: Bedtime here now so will respond to incoming comments in the morning, love starting the day with an inbox full 😊.
Edit 2: This blew up, it’s a little overwhelming right now but I do intent on replying to everybody that took the time to comment. Just need to get in the right headspace.
See, the difference between me and you is that I care about the people who are still alive, not just the ones who are dead. I’m not okay with letting millions of innocent people die just so I don’t have to “support genocide”. I’m sure your conscience is more important than their lives though.
You explicitly support the continued genocide of Palestinians.
You are a white supremacist.

It takes a very special relationship with the truth to read what I said and think, “wow that person only cares about dead people”.
Are you high?
You are, in fact, completely okay with letting millions of innocent people die. I’m sorry you’re in denial.
Who’s inaction? I’m taking action as are millions. Voting for their genocide is not an action that saves lives.
Protesting, mutual aid networks, volunteering for charities aiding the Palestinians. I’ve helped raise two million for unrwa, before Israel and the US started slaughtering them.
Voting for genocide does not help the victims of genocide, current or future.
I’m not a saint, I’m a generic human doing the bare minimum. If you think anything in that previous comment was brag worthy, you’re objectively bad at being a human and I’m not sure you can be helped. You’re a bad person.
