It doesn’t matter. The Israeli/Palestinian conflict isn’t even in the top 10 major threats to our country.

You can be unhappy about it, but this election is literally deciding whether the US will be a fascist, theocracic dictatorship.

I agree with your stance, but it’s a hell of a hard pill to swallow when both action and inaction directly support the continued financing of a genocide.

Vote for the lesser evil now, but make up for it by holding them to account to the fullest of your ability once they’re in.

No politician is going to please everyone. All we can do is keep choosing the less bad option until there’s finally a good option.

Ranked choice voting would be nice, but for that to ever be an option we need the left to overpower the right.

That’s absolutely not the case. For the Democrats to pull back towards the left, their viability as a choice for left-leaning voters needs to be threatened. It’s too late for this election, so vote Dem, but in the medium term it means taking action to support a better third party that actually champions progressive and egalitarian governance and peaceful foreign policy, and also challenging the Democrats with protests and campaigns.

Waiting did not get women the vote. Waiting did not achieve the victories of the Civil Rights movement. Waiting will not stop US proxy genocide in the Middle East.

Welcome to being a functioning adult. Life sucks, and it sucks worse when you throw temper tantrums instead of pursuing harm reduction when you can.
