But we know firsthand that strategy doesn’t work. We tried it less than a year ago, and wound up with a fascist soon-to-be-dictator who is also pedal-to-the-medal on Israel’s genocide, going so far as to arrest, imprison, and deport people for criticizing Israel.
When both possible outcomes of an election are equally terrible for Palestinians, but one of the possibilities is worse than the other in virtually every other aspect, it makes no sense to have Israel-Palestine be the deciding factor. Not voting for one of the two possible outcomes is just taking your hands off the wheel and letting someone else decide for you.

I’m surprised this needs to be explained every time.
A two party system sucks - and we all should work to change it - but in the interim, if we could avoid electing literal Nazis, that’d be great.
Jesus, take the wheel!!!

I think we should be pushing on this as early as possible. I won’t be convinced to issue a blank check to any Democratic candidate.
