I know it’s unpopular to withhold my vote from Democrats, but that’s my line and I’ll stick to it.
So … not voting then?
I think they intend to vote for canidates that don’t support genocide.
Which is totally realistic and not impossible as bootlickers pretend it is.
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.
We know this strategy is a failing one
Let’s just start sooner
This is my circle is called “magical thinking”
So you’re enabling Republicans who actively want the genocide because it will speed up the end times. Got it.
If we push on this early enough, we can get better candidates and/or policies.
Can’t get better candidates if you don’t vote for the better of the two.
Stepping out and allowing the worst to win is a race to the bottom.
