      You have two options:

      • Ok with genocide. Otherwise relatively progressive. Has passed major important legislation.
      • Ok with genocide. Wants to be a dictator. Appointed half of the Supreme Court majority that took away women’s right to abortion. Will probably strip more rights if elected. Cut taxes on the wealthy and will probably do it again.

      You can throw away your vote, but come inauguration, you will have a president who is ok with genocide.

        But I will not have voted for one of them. But you will have and the blood will be on your hands.

            I think some of these people have to be trolls. We’re basically in the trolley problem where the trolley is headed for 100,000 people, and if you pull the lever it will only kill 1. You can’t abstain from pulling the lever and act like you’re completely innocent of the deaths of the masses.

              the trolley problem tests you ethical framework, it does not have a prescribed solution. your answer to it helps you understand your own approach. deontologists never pull the lever.

            If you truly oppose genocide. You should be plotting a coup against the US executive branch.

          But then if Trump wins because you didn’t vote for either, then you’re ok with Genocide+ rather than Genocide light. Meaning you have to vote for the lesser of the two evils if no matter what you do the majority are voting for the only two who are likely to win.

          You’re either incredibly stupid, a troll, or are being obstinate on purpose.

            Genocide light? Seriously?!? If the other guy is stupid, you are stupid+

            There is no democracy if you are supporting genocide. There is no election worth voting on if the outcome is same fucking fascist, just with different colored flags. And don’t give me the lie how you’re gonna do something about a ‘genocide light’ if your guy is elected. Fuck off

            This whole country needs to stop sucking Kissinger’s dick and change this bloodthirsty, greedy fascist system.

                Ask the people in Gaza what they think about “Roe got overturned”.

                After all said and nothing done, we are paying for those bullets that murder their children by accepting and even promoting a system that gives us braindead mouthpieces for weapon manufacturers to vote for.

                    November is quite cold where I’m at, we like to go hiking or skiing. Or staying in and watching movies. A nice dinner with friends? I hope I gave you at least one good idea what to do in November.

                    But you can go out and vote for a sociopath and genocide denier or for a racist rapist and when those clowns start killing and bombing some other people somewhere on the globe, you can just blame the Chinese or Icelanders for making you vote for a lesser evil…

                    Life’s good either way…

          So… What do you think are the odds that your third party vote improves the situation in Palestine?

          If your third party vote makes it more likely that Trump wins and results in more bloodshed, that is a choice you contributed to, and blood is still on your hands.

          If you don’t vote against fascism, you allowed fascism.

          Cool, I’ll give you a pass on the genocide, but you will still be as responsible as anyone who voted for Trump for all the other terrible things he said he will do that you are doing nothing to prevent.

      If you’re not ok with genocide you should vote against Donald “just nuke them” Trump.
