    To all the ppl who constantly argue how stupid and reactionary doing so is, what exactly are they suppose to do?

    Choose the lesser evil, support more palatable candidates in future primaries, work to reform our elections so they are not first-past-the-post, encourage one’s family/ppl just like them to put pressure on their leaders to end intifada and make concessions for a viable peace.

    but I wouldn’t blame anyone (especially the family of a dead relative bombed by Israel) to sit this next election out.

    Choosing the greater evil is a terrible idea and it won’t work out well for them.

      Choosing the lesser evil put them in their current situation. We’re talking about ENTIRE families, multiple generations being killed and ppl are asking them to toe the line with no possible repercussions to Democrat’s.

      it won’t work out well for them.

      I fail to see how anything could be worse than your entire family, culture, and country/home being turned into a parking lot. Except all that happening and ppl telling you it could be worse

        The Biden administration is encouraging Israel to show restraint, minimize body count, and target military targets. Trump would relish punitive bombings that target civilians and Israeli annexations. He’s already said he’s bringing back the Muslim ban. If there’s still people that can die, land that has yet to be turned into parking lots, and freedoms to be lost, there’s plenty of good reasons.

        Working to usurp Biden to aid Trump is the political equivalent of suicide bombing; if they carry out the threat it will certainly damage them more, but they’re taking the rest of us out with them if they don’t get what they want.

          Yeah and the bombings of hospitals, mosques, civilian neighborhoods and the 17000+ dead really show Bidens hard work.

          but they’re taking the rest of us out with them if they don’t get what they want.

          That’s what it fundamentally comes down to. The selfishness that defines America. They’re suppose to suck it up and fall in line for Biden because the opposite outcome takes you down too. The ppl ultimately responsible for voting in Trump are ppl that vote for him. If you want Muslims and Palestinians to vote maybe your argument shouldnt be the guy not killing your family is so much worse, you’re so stupid.

          And for the record I’m not calling for a boycott on voting but I’m not going to demonize Palestinians or Muslim Americans for sitting out this election.

            And the people who stay home or waste votes on candidates who are not viable. Can’t ignore the realities of our system.
