Voting for Harris is saying “we have no power, we give up”. It's allowing the Democratic Party to deteriorate further into an imperialist party. They're going to get so much worse if they come to believe they can kill unlimited Palestinians and face zero consequences.
And what would the Republican response be? The exact same, or even worse, they care even less about people in general unless they are millionaire donors.
Because no third party is winning this election, so those are the two actual results possible. Any other choice won't accomplish anything at all, no matter what you keep telling yourself. In the real world, at this time, voting for a 3rd party doesn't teach the major parties anything. It just throws your vote away. Which you are free to do, but don't think you're somehow better than others voting for a candidate that could actually be in office. 3rd party candidates can say whatever they want, they'll never have to actually follow through on any of it.
If Democrats win despite doing genocide, they will also get worse. It will prove they can kill as many people as they want and face zero consequences, and they will absolutely take full advantage and double down.
The Republican response could be worse, but as a result of Trump the Democrats would be forced to oppose them. I don't hold out hope that Democrats finally reject Israel but the pro-Palestinian caucus within the Party will become much stronger while the pro-Israel caucus weakens.
Do not forget Trump oversaw the largest protest movement in American history. With a little more organization and less reliance on spontaneity we can defeat him while he's still in office.
I want what you’re smoking.
If the rapist gets into office, say goodbye to Ukraine, goodbye to Palestine (remember, his kid is eyeing up property there already) and potentially goodbye to NATO. If the US leaves that, Putin will move further into Europe, and the question of “where will WWIII kick off?” stops being an automatic “in the Middle East”.
Giving 34 Felonies another go at the presidency would be disastrous. For a lot more then just the idiots that voted third party.
We currently have one in office, another issue Democrat voters rolled over on. MeWho?
If Trump wins he'll probably just negotiate a surrender where they get to annex Eastern Ukraine. I really doubt Russia has any interest in expanding farther. There's literally no point. They want a region of Ukraine that is Russian speaking, has a warm water sea port, is rich in natural gas, and is a breadbasket. Plus, a buffer zone against NATO.
They're not, like, cartoon villains.
Herr Hitler only wants Sudetia, Alsace and the Polish corridor.
We’ve played this game before.
Not everyone you dislike is Hitler.
