As the title states I am confused on this matter. The way I see it, the USA has a two party system and in the next few weeks they’re either going to have Trump or Harris as president, come inauguration day. With this in mind doesn’t it make sense to vote for the person least likely to escalate the situation even more.

Giving your vote to an independent or worse not voting at all, just gives more of a chance for Trump to win the election and then who knows what crazy stuff he will allow, or encourage, Israel to get away with.

I really don’t get the logic. As sure nobody wants to vote for a party allowing these heinous crimes to be committed, but given you’re getting one of them shouldn’t you be voting for the one that will be the least horrible of the two.

Please don’t come at me with pro-Israeli rhetoric as this isn’t the post for that, I’m asking about why people would make such choices and I’m not up for debate on the Middle East, on this post, you can DM me for that.

Edit: Bedtime here now so will respond to incoming comments in the morning, love starting the day with an inbox full 😊.

Edit 2: This blew up, it’s a little overwhelming right now but I do intent on replying to everybody that took the time to comment. Just need to get in the right headspace.

    It is not a binary choice… And you saying this is bad faith behavior.

    Third party vote is a protest vote and it is as valid as any other vote.

    Not voting is providing the regime legitimacy.

        Ans this is likely why kamala gomma lose lol

        Keep it up

        We had trump already… And we are still here today.

        If your entire campaign she is not trump, thats a pathetic campaign.

        You really overestimate how many people care abiut trump winning

        I care more about making a point that i dont approve of current politics coming from both sides.

        Yall can figure between each other which clown wins.
