    You have a choice between two candidates who can win the election. There is no third party who can win. You speak as if there is one in a first past the post electoral system. There isn’t. If you have a way forward that doesn’t further slide us into fascism and also isn’t supportive of genocide, please enlighten me.

    Sadly our only option is to not for for Trump, and the only other viable candidate is Biden. I don’t like it anymore then you do, but until we replace our electoral system with one that is more fair, it’s what we have to work with.

      If the threat of withholding your vote does not scare the party that is supposedly saving democracy, then they probably don’t actually care about democracy, especially when they prioritize genocide over getting those votes.

        I’d much prefer a ranked choice voting system where we had viable third parties. At the end of the day, one of two people will win the election. If you make one issue your entire focus, you lose sight of the big picture. I’ll just say this - genocide is not a joke, it’s fucked up, and I believe Israel is committing it in Gaza.

        Putting that aside for now, do you care about anything else politically? Do you believe a woman should not be allowed to have an abortion, or do you support further tax cuts for the billionaires?

      And you don’t need to vote for him either.

      Just go sharpen your guillotines.
