What do you recommend to do as an alternative?

"you should shove your thumb up your ass in protest, it'll do so much good! Really stick it to the genocidal dems" - 🤡

If I vote(solid blue here so not much practical point) I'm doing a write in for president and any pro-israel candidates down ballot. I would not be upset by Biden losing to trump by the margin of votes for "stop the genocide" in swing states. Preferably with a blue congress but whatever it takes to drive the point home for dems that they cannot cross this line and still have electoral viability.

What an incredibly idiotic thing to do. Trump is hell-bent on destroying American democracy and giving both China and Russia all the Lebensraum that they want while enriching himself. And do look up his Israel policy, while you're at it.

The amount of suffering a Trump victory has a high chance of creating makes the war in Gaza look like a picnic.

So you’ve got like 9 months to figure this out, but it really didn’t work last time to call everyone who didn’t like the centrist democrat option idiotic. Just history rhyming is all. Let’s try a different rhetoric?

I appreciate your conviction and morals, genuinely.

What you’re proposing is essentially sacrificing some form of democratic world order for full authoritarianism based on a single horrible event. Nuanced perspective may be more useful than absolutism in this scenario.

Hate to admit it, but, to me it seems we have been forced into a lesser of two evils scenario.

More poetically, a shit sandwich.

Also, please vote. Even in saturated areas your vote counts, especially in tight and artificially contested elections.
