I want my sisters to maintain bodily autonomy, and I don’t want my country to descend even more into christian fascism. I also don’t think me falsely signalling that I won’t vote for democrats will benefit much of anything. In 2016, it mostly just got leftists labeled “Bernie Bros” and blamed for Clinton’s failings.

If there was a third party, I honestly think there’d be a chance to make things better. Either to force reform by pulling votes from the bigger party, or being a vanguard for revolution. Just not the fucking green party, jesus. They didn’t win a single county in 2016, and I fucking hate them.

The only one I know of is Jill Stein, and she’s a joke.

Because she knows that Palestine isn’t most American’s top issue, so she can afford to lose the few people that would go through with a boycott.

No, I agree. I think that Palestine isn’t the only issue that matters, though, and she’d be different than Trump on a lot of other issues. Female reproductive health, appointing judges, having a working FTC and FCC. So if I’m going to withold my vote to help Palestine, I’d like some reason to believe it would actually help them.

Yeah, it would absolutely be her fault. Wouldn’t help Palestine much though…

That seems pretty naive, given how they’ve been completely unwilling to compromise so far, and seem very confident they won’t have to.

I don’t think they’re enemies. I think their policies on Israel would be nearly identical, except Trump would be slightly more corrupt and incompetent. It’s just hard to threaten to withhold a vote when there’s no alternative.
