    I’m sure pretending the blue candidate isn’t complicit in genocide is a great strategy to convincing more voters.

      Unfortunately we are in the same position with both candidates. You can’t be President of the US and have clean hands

          I guess when both candidates have “Genocide Participant” credits it no longer matters to compared that specific item.

              Disarming Israel is not on the ballot. I wish it were, but we are where we are. Comparing the candidates on issues where they do differ significantly makes the decision pretty easy.

              What for? There are absolutely no real options to avoid the Israel/Palestine conflict. So as an adult who understands that there are some things I can and cannot influence I move on to those I can influence.

              One candidate is leagues above the other.

              Anyone who says “well your candidate will be bad for Israel/Palestine” is being disingenuous because both will suck. Thats bait and a distraction.

              Going 3rd party or abstaining from voting are both stupid approaches.
