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 😊.
Edit 2: This blew up, it’s a little overwhelming right now but I do intent on replying to everybody that took the time to comment. Just need to get in the right headspace.
There is no lesser evil in genocide.
Period.
Your life, your rights, are not worth genocide, period.
Tell that to the people whose lives are on the line.
Hi, that’s me. My life is on the line. It is not worth the genocide of an entire people.
If you believe your life is, you need to die. Not calling for violence, before the report. If a person believes they should continue existing by killing other humans, that person needs to die. They cannot be allowed to continue existing. Every time someone like that gains popularity and power, a genocide happens. Every single time. People like that aren’t human, they lack empathy which is required for human society to function.
Nah, bullshit. Don’t lie to me. You aren’t this stupid. If Trump wins Rafah will be a crater and violence will be escalating in the West Bank within a month. I’m not willing to watch those people die just to send a message. That’s genocide just as surely as anything the Democrats are doing. Those are the lives that matter. Those are the lives I’m talking about. If you can’t bring yourself to stop that, you don’t actually care about genocide. You just want to be self-righteous.
