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.

All due respect, and with the understanding that I’m not a brilliant political strategist. Can you explain how we get from point A (threaten to withhold votes) to point B (a positive outcome in Palestine)?

I think it might be different if there were any viable third party candidate to rally around. It’s hard to protest Harris over Palestine when like, Trump would be worse. Probably not much worse, but still hard to gin up any enthusiasm about it.

Everything I’ve seen has indicated US inflation rates dropping steadily since 2022. What inflation are you seeing?
