As the title states I am confused on this matter. The way I see it, the USA has a two party system and in the next few weeks they’re either going to have Trump or Harris as president, come inauguration day. With this in mind doesn’t it make sense to vote for the person least likely to escalate the situation even more.

Giving your vote to an independent or worse not voting at all, just gives more of a chance for Trump to win the election and then who knows what crazy stuff he will allow, or encourage, Israel to get away with.

I really don’t get the logic. As sure nobody wants to vote for a party allowing these heinous crimes to be committed, but given you’re getting one of them shouldn’t you be voting for the one that will be the least horrible of the two.

Please don’t come at me with pro-Israeli rhetoric as this isn’t the post for that, I’m asking about why people would make such choices and I’m not up for debate on the Middle East, on this post, you can DM me for that.

Edit: Bedtime here now so will respond to incoming comments in the morning, love starting the day with an inbox full 😊.

    Simple. You punish zionists and democrats for backing genocide. If they keep losing on their positions then they’ll learn to work for your vote. That’s why always voting red or blue no matter what is bad. It just makes your vote worthless because you’ll vote for them no matter what.

        Exactly. People do learn. That’s who we’re trying to reach.

          Yup, the only reason we got Harris to replace Biden was that it was made clear that Biden didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell.

          Sadly, it was not made clear enough that it was a policy issue, so now we have Harris adopting every unpopular republican policy she can manage.
