    Let’s pretend for a second you don’t understand how our elections work: a third party candidate in all of modern history has barely gotten any votes, only enough to hand victory to the Republican. It’s not hard to understand. A third grader would have no problem getting it. Why do you?

      Democrats aren’t owed my vote. If they don’t wanna represent the interests of me and other Americans, I’m not gonna vote for them. If you told a third grader they need to vote to support genocide and oppose workers’ rights I really doubt they’d get it as easily as you think

        A third grader has to eat their vegetables. They may not like it, but they have no trouble understanding that the vegetables are healthy. Inb4 ‘electing Biden isn’t “healthy”’ yeah no shit, but the options clearly are trump or Biden and there’s no comparing the two.

        If you vote any way but blue in an election with trump, you have said to the world, “making a point is more important than consequences” and you will be directly partially responsible if trump is elected. If Trump is not elected, then you can claim you made a point, but the action you took still was reckless and imperiled current and future generations.

        The United States of America cannot withstand another term of trump. Israel will absolutely be more emboldened and supported by trump, but really that will be the least of our issues.
