It's shitty, but you will get one of them in power, and it's encumbent on you to vote for the obvious lesser of two evils.
If you like the Greens (or whoever else's) policies, work to fight for them the other 1,458 days of the election cycle - polling day is for buying a few more years of moribund US democracy - not for pissing away your vote and letting the fascists in.
I don’t vote for genociders and you shouldn’t either. Voting for genocide es makes you as evil as they are.
You keep telling people not to tell you who to vote for
Stop telling me who to vote for 😘
Of course I am going to keep telling people not to vote for a genocider. What is wrong with you?!
Your “freedom” to vote does not extent to be permitted to just ethnic cleanse millions of people.
I recognize your anger, I am also distraught about Palestine and I wish we had a candidate who was adamant about not giving more aid to Israel. I'm not saying you need to give up on your ideals nor am I telling you to shut up about it. But let's be real here, as much as we hate it, we only have 2 choices in November, and one of them will cause much MUCH more damage to Palestinians, Americans, and quite possibly the entire globe if he gets elected. We CANNOT let Trump win, so again, as much as I don't like many of Kamala's stances, she is undeniably receiving my vote
I mean, we’ve been saying this to people of this viewpoint on Lemmy all year and so far, not one I’ve seen has ever said “oh, you have a point”.
