"Progressives should not make the same mistake that Ernst Thälmann made in 1932. The leader of the German Communist Party, Thälmann saw mainstream liberals as his enemies, and so the center and left never joined forces against the Nazis. Thälmann famously said that ‘some Nazi trees must not be allowed to overshadow a forest’ of social democrats, whom he sneeringly called ‘social fascists.’
After Adolf Hitler gained power in 1933, Thälmann was arrested. He was shot on Hitler’s orders in Buchenwald concentration camp in 1944."
I’m not voting for either as both are pro-genecide and I am single issue.
I will vote for any candidate without AIPAC funding. Israel should not have killed american aidworkers and Biden should have suspendend financing at once. Israel touched the boats.
ok but you are voting republican
nope they are funded by AIPAC. I won’t vote for blood money.
but you are though
Good luck man, I wish you well.
yeah just don’t kid yourself
You’re saying I will vote for blood money. Yeah that’s probably fair, but there are levels of filth. And the West Bank/Gaza kinda fix the regional soilage. There is only so much you can swallow.
don’t get me wrong I’m more invested in Palestine than you think. but not voting for either party for this reason would only be the right call if it actually would end up helping Palestinians. it won’t and not voting or voting for third party is demonstrably equal to a vote for republicans, which is undeniably worse for Palestine.
“I am single issue” - at least you are under no illusion about it.
This is silly in our current voting system. Not voting in this election is equivalent to voting for Trump.
People on the right (e.g. evangelicals) often see voting as their responsibility and will vote for whomever they see as the lesser of two evils. Those of us on the left get too bourgeois about our candidates. Our failure to vote keeps moving the window right!
