Genocide is a black-and-white issue. When voting, the second-best thing you can do is not vote for a pro-genocide candidate. The best thing you can do is vote for an anti-genocide candidate. In this election, there were two: Cornel West and Jill Stein.
Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats
Taldan@lemmy.world 1 day agoJust to clarify: People are assuming you voted for Trump (or at least not for Harris) in an effort to support Palestine
The result of Trump being elected is the current situation, where there is a very real possibility of Israel taking complete control of the Gaza Strip and genociding or displacing all Palestinians currently there
When it comes to the Gaza Strip, Harris was the lesser of two evils. Anyone who voted for Trump, or a 3rd party, helped Netanyahu commit genocide free of American interference. Trump’s America is even giving Bibi huge political and material support, far in excess of what America has ever given before
If that accurately describes you, then we’re all on the same page. If it doesn’t, you may want to clarify your comments now

It sucks that third party candidates have no chance to win without major overhauls in how our political system works. Those overhauls haven’t happened yet, unfortunately, and everyone voting third party for the reasons you state knew it during the last election. I’m sure the people in Palestine would be tripping over their emaciated children to line up and sniff your farts with you.

Personally I assumed third party. It’s the common bullshit line they spout despite knowing third party candidates have little to no chance of winning under our current electoral system. They voted idealistically instead of practically and pat themselves on the back as if their protest votes actually meant anything.
