      Yeah that’s 100% bullshit and I’ll show you right now.

      Downvote me if you’re going to vote for Joe Biden. My negative score will be your proof. Lemmy doesn’t give a shit about genocide abroad. When the only measurable act of support these people carry out is counted, it will be FOR genocide and the people who did it.

        You’re a fucking moron if you think the Republican alternative is a better option for Palestine. And when it comes to the general election, you’re only lying to yourself if you think a third-party candidate has a chance.

        We, as the US, need to fix our broken election system before we’re going to have a chance of electing someone who isn’t owned by corporate interests.

          That’s a high minded reason to vote in favor of fascism ideologically and genocide in practice. My biggest problem is that you don’t even believe that’s what you’re doing. You’re not fixing the ‘broken’ ‘democratic’ system. You have no plans to.

          Whataboutism. A vote is a gesture of support. A vote for something is supporting that thing.

          You support murdering children.

            We should be voting independent. Voting for R or D would lead to the same outcome. I hate the blind support for Israel. They’ve done some truly shitty things. Our relationship feels like trying to look out for the kid who gets bullied in school, but the whole time he’s out there spitting on people. We should at least be holding them accountable if we’re going to send them our resources.

              Yes, you really need to vote third party as much as you can. It already happened in Argentina (you may disagree with the party, but the fact that it’s third party and won the elections is the point), it can be achieved somewhere else

            If voting means you agree with one of the parties, not voting means you agree with both and are ok with either ruling.

                In the US there are only two, for all intents and purposes. It’s the logical conclusion to the “first past the post” system.

                In other countries I agree with you. Still, not voting is not an option (unless you are ok with any party).

              The combined power rings of every major and minor party swirling in a thousand bands of light to combine into my political opinion

            Great, you’ve showcased you have a fundamentally flawed understanding of American politics.

        Sorry I’m voting to keep the fascists out of office, and to hold them accountable for their actions?
