US voters think that the choices are Trump or Biden and that a little genocide with Biden is better than more genocide with Trump and have been calling the genocide a single-issue that should not go into people’s decisions this November at the ballot box
not going to lie intentionally have been skipping over news about the situation because it so sickening and know powerless to do anything
reading this article was very disheartening
It’s a two party system. You can either vote for the person who advocates for more genocide or the person (not Biden, just FYI) who is looking at active de-escalation.
It’s America, there are only two choices. If you refuse to chose less genocide you’re furthering the deaths of Palestinians.
You need to be an adult - sometimes there’s no nice option… sometimes the choice is between shitty and even shittier. Be the person that makes the world a less awful place.
thanks for proving my point
in the US the biggest perpetuated piece of propaganda myth is that we have only two options and we will never rise above the shitty choices so pick the one that smells better
obviously with that mindset nothing will ever change
elites have won for now
They’ve won forever if you check out. Use your vote to move the needle just a bit - waiting for a perfect solution means things get worse.
Given the current electoral system it isn’t a myth - it’s how we ended up with Woodrow Wilson after all.
I’d love to see us break out of it too but the voting system needs to change before we can seriously consider a third party option.
America was basically the alpha release of Democracy and it has an absolutely broken electoral system - ideally the president wouldn’t even be elected and we’d only have one branch of congress but we’re working within the boundaries of what we have and if you choose to help get Trump elected that’s fucking on you.
Jill Stein had 1/3 the popular votes of libertarian Gary Johnson in 2016. They both had the same number of EC votes.
At 3.3% of the popular vote, Johnson did better than any third party candidate since '96. Maybe if you close your eyes and wish really hard you could get a libertarian to claim a single EC vote.
There are only two choices that win Presidential elections. Everyone else is “Vermin Supreme” at 0 to 5% of the vote.
US voters think that the choices are Trump or Biden
If you don’t think this then you’ve been paying zero attention.
Edit: yes I know it will be Harris not Biden. I read this more as R vs D which is the state of elections in the country
