Pro-Palestinian voters are facing a moral dilemma.
well put and one more thing:
the SNP is an example of why both democrats and republicans fight 3rd parties from gaining a foothold on the voting ballots using things like peer pressure; friendly judges to pass down rulings against 3rd parties on ballots; and voter suppression.
your vote matters and it’s most effective if you don’t do it the way they want you to; the lesser evil is still evil.
Yeah, they did that here in 2014 with peer pressure and the likes. The most ridiculous thing that occurred was “The Vow” which appeared two days before the referendum in the shittiest of shitty tabloid newspapers, promising the people of Scotland new powers, more say and the political equivalent of a goody bag. It was so cartoonish I didn’t think people would fall for it, but some did, and it was enough to swing the vote. Needless to say “The Vow” never came into effect. Surprise! Surprise!
Kamala’s not promising anything, let alone horeshit, so my prediction is sadly a Trump win.
only american liberals believe she’s going to win; but even then it’s clear that most of them can feel the anxiety about her projected loss and; to be fair; she does have a decent chance at winning if the polls are as wrong as they were in 2016.
given that they figured out the disconnects since then and 2020’s polls were spot on; i hope that the sense of mutual aid is as strong now as it was back in the 1980’s during the last our government did little more than a public show of support while idly allowing people to die by the thousands during the hiv/aids scare.
