Alternatively, when Democrats (rarely) control Congress, it’s by a hair, nearly 50/50. When Republicans control Congress it’s much closer to 55/45.

This is largely what leads to the rachet effect.

The machine is set up in such a way that this does not matter. It only turns to the right.

Just don’t vote for the one currently supporting a genocide.

I don’t know if I can in good conscience support anyone who considers themselves a “Zionist” and supports war criminals in their terrible slaughter of civilians.

With this behaviour and this thinking you’ll be voting against “The Bigger Evil” for the rest of your life. Your kids will be bullied into voting for “The Lesser Evil” their whole life, your grandchildren will be reminded by their friendly AI legal expert to vote for anyone just not for “Evil Jeff”.

Your whole political conscience revolves around a struggle that doesn’t exist. You do no good voting for any of these manipulative racists, liars and/or genocidal clowns by listening to paid twitter jesters or hollywood stars. The eChoEs of these shouting matches are so loud now, normal spoken words don’t have any weight.

If you put just a fraction of the energy, money or your thoughts into changing your fascist system instead of this useless reality show you call politics every four years (and the years in between), you might be able to die with a knowledge that your children and grandchildren could live in a (more) normal world.

But where’s the fun in normality? right?

Disgusting.

How about the candidate who will hold Isreal accountable. Which one is that?

i naively believed the other lemming’s statement but Cornel West’s running. if Jill Stein wins her party’s primary, that’ll be two candidates with a history of condemning Israel’s war on palestinians, both having described that state’s actions as genocidal

And a vote for either is a vote for Trump. But if you want to bury your head in the sand and condemn the country to oblivion on principle, well hey, it’s a free country for the next 12 months.

nope, a vote for some candidate is a vote for that candidate. i’m not burying my head in the sand because i’m not an american voter. i’m a foreigner that’s been a victim of lying imperialist presidents from the bullshit land of the free fairyland for a long freaking time

you claim the US to be a free country for at least the next 12 months, and i think you have your head in the sand. just because i think Trump is way worse than Biden doesn’t mean i don’t know for a fact that he’s really bad

i came here because @dojan@lemmy.world falsely claimed that no one else is on the table

Neither of them, lol. Find another wedge issue to make your grand moral stand over.

That’s not an option in US politics, unfortunately. But one candidate would probably say “nuke Palestine!” and want to send troops, or maybe not depending on what Putin tells him to do.
