Both parties are currently fighting each other over who can say they support Israel more right now. They're both falling over each other to do more genocide. I'm not voting for a candidate that supports genocide. I'm especially not voting for a candidate who thinks doubling down on doing genocide is going to get them more votes.

One party has actual muslims in it's caucus. the other party is obviously in the bag for Bibi.

I call bullshit, you were either never going to vote or never going to vote dem either way.

You people would vote for Trump if he wore a blue tie.

Then why didn't they, back when Trump wore a blue tie?

you've missed the entire point. we wouldn't vote for a trump no matter what party. we weigh the good against the the bad and make an informed, imperfect decision.

That's the system we've got. Man, I would love for this election to propel a new third party based on ideal policies into the fray - I REALLY DO - but whining and moaning that you WON'T choose between the two NOW is years too late. And it fucks LGBTQ, women, immigrants, ukraine and so many others over.

Stop being a one-issue dilettante and join the real world.

no, I got the point perfectly. if the democrat party put a clone of trump as their pick for president, and he was running against the non-clone trump, you would vote for the trump clone, and convince yourself that you were making an informed, measured, tactical, grown-up choice. it’s mass delusion.
