    Because electing Trump would be soooo much better for Gaza…

    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/5/trump-says-israel-losing-pr-war-in-gaza-should-finish-war-fast

    “I guess it makes them look tough. But to me, it doesn’t make them look tough. They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”

    Claudia De La Cruz and Cornell West aren’t on the ballot in enough states to win a ham sandwich.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballot_access_in_the_2024_United_States_presidential_election

    Stein technically is on the ballot in enough states to win, but she represents a party that continually hovers around 1% or less. The best the Greens have done was under Ralph Nader 24 years ago and is largely blamed for 8 years of George W. Bush.

    Only 2 parties are on the ballot in all states, Democratic and Republican. The winner of the election will be from one of those two parties.

    You help Harris win or you get a President who thinks Israel needs to wipe out Gaza faster.

      So are you picking Harris not because she will not do the same things but because she would do the same things but in a slower fashion and also just to show that we have no other options?

      not sure that would classify as a democracy are you trying to enforce the elite’s false dichotomy?

        I’m picking Harris because Trump would accelerate the genocide and bring the worst Israeli policies here.

        Israel illegally invaded Lebanon to set up a “security zone”:

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_occupation_of_Southern_Lebanon

        Trump would do the same for Mexico:

                Nah, I did just post a libertarian article. And libertarians in effect would take votes AWAY from trump. https://lemmy.world/post/18907042

                That doesn’t really fit the narrative that a lot of Lemmys seem to want for me though. lol

                  Oh so you do believe in spoiler candidates? What’s your defense for constant third party and green party advocacy if you know it’s a statistical fact that spoiler effect exists?

                    No, I don’t belive in it. I was using the argument that you all throw at me every single day. :) And I find it hilarious that you all think it’s ok, when it happens to the Republicans, just not when it happens to YOUR party. lol

                    No, like, I’m not. Literally or implicitly.

                    If I wanted to vote for Trump, I’d vote for my Trump. Which by the way, I have every single right to do, as an American citizen.

                    But I’m voting for him. I’m voting for Jill Stein. I respect your right to vote for whoever you want to, please respect mine.

          “Vote Harris for a slower genocide” isn’t going to win you Michigan.

            The alternative is “Don’t vote Harris and get a genocide here.”

              No one in Michigan is going to fall for that.

                  No, they won’t. Because there’s not going to be any genocide in Michigan. You’re delusional.

                  You’re fearmongering about a hypothetical genocide in order to distract from a very real, very current genocide, and that is contemptible.

                  The term “genocide” was invented by survivors of the Holocaust to be a klaxon call. The idea was that this crime needed a unique, distinct name so that when people heard it, they’d know to drop everything and intervene.

                  It wasn’t invented to be used in political propaganda. When you abuse the term, you undermine its usefulness. You undermine its purpose.

                    Trump intends to revoke birthright citizenship and round up and put into detention camps all sorts of people:
