I have no illusions that American politicians of all parties have actively or complicity committed terrible crimes against other nations. In no way shape or form do I support any of it. But I also live in this country in an area that would never vote me into office of any kind, and so short of a massive paradigm shift or revolution, the most influence I can have on the future of this country is by voting and encouraging others to do the same. And like it or not, sometimes that means voting for the lesser of two evils. If that makes me evil too in your mind, then you can go fuck yourself. I’m doing the best I can. And anyone that can’t also do that bare minimum can fuck themselves too.
It’s a great analogy because I had no say in either case.
The choice was of either Tump or Biden/Biden 2.0 (Kamala) in the last two elections. Choosing to vote for nether is just not participating in the election and giving up your ability to influence the outcome. If only one were to support Isreal’s genocide, voting for them makes you complicit in that. If both support Isreal’s genocide, then there IS NO CHOICE THERE.
WHY WOULD I TRUST MY FELLOW CITIZEN TO VOTE THIRD PARTY AGAINST ALL EXPERIENCE AND EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE!? You’re talking nonsense. We are stuck with First Past The Post voting right now, and as such, voting your ideals is for the primaries only. Election day is a strategy game and anyone with sense knows it. Change the system to Approval voting and everyone can vote their conscience and I’ll advocate all day for that but that is simply not the reality right now. There were two and only two options. That is he reality.

“You claim to hate genocide, and yet you voted for Biden/Trump.”
“You claim to hate capitalism, and yet you own a smartphone”
Same energy and level of thought, dude.

When I have a choice in the matter I’ll let you know which way I go on it. Until then I’m not taking the blame for it, thanks.
