Well I voted for Kamala if that makes anyone feel better. It’s just that I’ve been following the plight of the Palestinians for far longer than it’s been popular and I’ve been forced to watch as every single US president has stood at a podium and pledge fealty to Isreal without exception. Joe Biden delayed a single weapons shipment to Isreal one time and it was only delayed by a week. There have been reports that the delay was logistical and the Biden statement was just a political move that simply took political advantage of the delay. Either way, the status quo will guarantee death to the people who need our help the most. I understated what you’re saying when you state Trump is accelerating the destruction. I also understand that the approach to minimize the damage by voting the lesser of two evils will also lead to democracy sliding into fascism.
How many times can you ask someone to vote the lesser of two evils when every cycle they find they still only have two evils from witch to choose?
I’ve been the vote blue guy and at this point it’s hard to ignore that voting evils (even if lesser) still continues our slide into evil.
Break the system, fix the system or change the system but vote blue no matter who only >SOMETIMES< delays death but it doesn’t ever stop it. Maybe you’re young enough where you haven’t done the same thing over and over but I’m telling you, it never actually changes anything. At least, not for those without power in the middle east.

That’s the whole point of the term ‘harm reduction’ though. It’s not saying voting for Dem ghouls will fix our problems - it’s explicitly saying harm will continue with our votes. The point is that harm reduction reduces the ongoing damage while we try other methods to right this fucked situation.
Whatever else we do 364 days a year, having fewer people being murdered while we do it is worth 1 day of casting a vote.

Ps. It’s not me down voting you.
