    If trump gets into the office not only will the Palestinian people be far worse off, so will every group I mentioned above and more.

    There is no level of killing innocent people that I’m okay with.
    I’ll support a political party which does not want to make people worse off because of their identity.

      The problem, as I see it, is that there is literally no chance for a third party to win the presidency.

      Which means that I have three options:

      • Vote Trump. Someone who has called for more violence.
      • Vote Harris. Whether I’m happy with her or the Democratic party or not. Try and mitigate as much killing and harm as I am able to. Actively try to prevent things from getting worse.
      • Vote third party/Don’t vote. Either Trump or Harris will win, and I can claim my conscious is clear. If Trump wins, I will have not done what little I could have to lessen the evil. I have to be okay with someone who is far worse getting into power

      We can’t solve the genocide by voting third party. All we can do, all that the little power granted to us can do, is try and prevent it from getting worse. So if you want to prevent as much killing as you actually can, if you want to give the most people the opportunity to live, then morally as I see it, you need to vote Harris.

      Is she perfect? No. Hell no, man. But she is the candidate that with this genocide happening, and it is happening regardless of who is getting in, who will give the most Palestinians a chance to live. A third party candidate isn’t making it to the White house so a third party candidate can NOT lessen the harm.

        I do not have three options, myself.

        It is said that Americans have three options, the best of which only might improve the situation where one country is terrorising another country by killing innocent people, every day.

          So are you American? It sounds like you aren’t and, if not, why are you advocating for people not to vote or vote third party?

            Can you point out where I advocated for any particular voting choice? I just said that I don’t find killing innocents acceptable, and would prefer to have the choice of voting for a party which agreed with that - in my mind, perfectly acceptable - moral value.

              For someone that’s not even American you love telling everyone in America what to do in as many posts as possible.

            You’re right, there is a fourth: kill yourself. Save million of Palestinian lives by ending yours before next Tuesday.

            Thanks for revealing what kind of person you are, champ!
