    It’s certainly a disheartening state of affairs but the choice is between stopping one genocide now* and foregoing so much as the possibility of stopping any American-supported genocides in the future.

    *now, will the extra moral credit of not voting for Biden actually stop Netanyahu’s genocide?

      Cant reset the entire system right this very moment, so better just push it further down the path like a good little fascist instead of doing something that could start the change that is needed. /s

        Voting third party cannot “start the change that is needed.” If you want a change, it’s gotta come from the bottom up. You have to change how we vote and so get local people elected who will do so. Until then, your third party vote is strictly vanity and helps nothing.

        But the reality is that you don’t want to do anything, voting third party is very easy and you can maybe convince yourself that you at least tried.

        But you haven’t. You aren’t doing shit but whining online.

        Get out and help your local groups push for ranked or star voting, whichever you prefer. Claiming you care and then just voting third party is empty bs.
