And you somehow think voting for Trump, or giving him an advantage, will help in Gaza?
He will put zero pressure on Netanyahu. He'll likely openly support the effort and say something like "the Palestinians are just like the illegals crossing our border."
Voting isn't picking someone you like, voting is choosing the person with the best chance of winning and creating policies aligned with your values and ideals. If you vote for somebody with zero chance of winning, you're giving an advantage to the candidate who undermines your values being implemented in the long term.
If we had ranked choice voting, or if the alternative candidate wasn't openly threatening democracy, the rationale would be very different.
The smart people tried to explain to the voters that Brexit would be an enormous failure, but the voters let their emotions get in the way of being rational, and now they're suffering and wished they had voted differently.
We have the potential for something much worse with Trump. Much worse. If you can't see through your emotions to understand that if Trump is elected your vote may never matter again, I'm not sure you have the rationale capacity to be worth the time I spent typing this response.
Help? You cant save a corpse. The hostage is dead, youve got no leverage anymore.
Oh man, I missed the memo that every Palestinian died, and people with uteruses, and anyone who doesn't identify as cishet, and everyone impacted by climate change, and everyone in Ukraine.
Man, I've been wasting a lot of time and energy worrying about all those dead people.
What are you going to actively do to change the future? What effort are you going to make to respect those unnecessary deaths?
Not reelect the same person responsible for this in the first place? The guy that was making executive orders to bypass congress to deliver weapons to Israel?
