It is in a 2 party system -so why are you pretending you didn't know that the US is a 2 party system.The truth, which you are pretending you don't know,is that in a 2 party system,if you are going to vote for X but choose not to,you are verifiably helping their opponent."I won't entertain reality"😌🤷♂️
So presidential elections are undemocratic - why is that? Please elaborate.
How is it moral to choose "more harm" when you have the option to choose "less harm"? Please respond - every time you deflect, you are proving that I am indeed right.
Please respond to the question - replying to a question w/ a question is intellectually dishonest & in no way responsive. Please respond to my comment, thanks.
100% of politicians serve the 1%, it's not a Dems prerogative. Sadly, for as long as you will have citizen united, you will never get good candidates for the people - they all, & I mean ALL, serve the interests of their donors. Again, ALL of them do.
But you did help him win, especially the people you are defending who abstained in swing states - they knowingly helped trump win & were ok w/ it. You can prove me wrong though by listing the concrete benefits you achieved for Palestinians by abstaining. Thanks
B/c that is generally what posers do tbh.
So presidential elections are undemocratic why? Please provide evidence.
I verifiably am morally superior to someone who knowingly chose "more harm" instead of less, b/c they valued posting online more than protecting actual human lives 😌🤷♂️
You again did not respond to my comment. Please also be aware that the West Bank is not Gaza. Why are you ok ignoring what the actual victims were asking you to do & why were you ok sacrificing millions of lives knowingly? How was that the moral choice?
It wasn't the choice in 2024 & most importantly, before abstaining you knew that abstaining wouldn't provide a zero-harm candidate - so what is the point of your imaginary post?
I don't really - I mostly get disappointed when the people who were ok with "more harm" are claiming to be moral 😌🤷♂️
People in swing states who didn't vote for Harris, knowingly chose to help trump instead - do you really not know how 2 party systems work or are you just messing w/ me?
So abstaining has solved the issue of billionaires choosing the candidate how exactly?
B/c you care more about being able to erroneously claim online "I didn't vote for genocide" than actually protecting lives. You were fine w/ millions of people suffering & worsening the situation globally, as long as you could virtue signal online - & that is truly messed up 😌🤷♂️
Again, privileged empty words by purists who can afford to play games b/c like you, they are risking nothing. That is why, the actual people being bombed preferred Harris b/c even 1 less bomb, would mean 1 less dead & that matters when you're being slaughtered 😌🤷♂️

Your bad faith is showing, when you ignore this part "side w/ Putin in Ukraine, place 14 million on a fast-track to starvation by cancelling USAID, bomb innocent fishermen & illegally disappear immigrants?"
If you can choose between "more harm" & "less harm", why is "more harm" the moral choice?😌🤷♂️
I asked first, so obviously you will answer first - this is how normal people discuss. Also, why are you pretending I wrote only "protest voters" when you know I wrote "NONVOTERS & protest voters"? So again, please respond to the previous comment & address the points i raised therein w/ honesty 😌🤷♂️
Identical?
Sure, the point still remains: abstention is an insanely selfish display that you know won't help anyone except it will make you feel better about yourself, while hurting millions. Please vote thinking of others, not just yourself.
I'm going to have to repeat myself until you answer: in 2024 which candidate stood for "more harm" & which stood for "less harm"? Please also explain why & based on which numbers.
Why do you think it's ok to simply ignore the arguments you don't like & don't know how to respond to? 😌🤷♂️
They also preferred Harris as you can see below - why didn't you care?
You were ok sacrificing Palestinians, Ukrainians, millions of Africans, fishermen & immigrants - why is that better?
Nope, as you can see, the situation for immigrants is immensely worse now🤷♂️

So b/c Biden did something horrible, your solution is worsen the genocide in Gaza, side w/ Putin in Ukraine, place 14 million on a fast-track to starvation by cancelling USAID, bomb innocent fishermen & illegally disappear immigrants? How is that the moral choice?
You're here defending verifiably selfish people who showed zero care for human lives, so whether you abstained in a swing state or not, means very little to the discussion. If you believed you did the right thing, then why do you need the excuse "hey don't look at me, my state went to Harris"? 🤔
You don't seem at all concerned that trump got over 230 millions from Aipac or that he was Netanyahu's candidate of choice. Your concern for Gaza seems performative at best tbh 😌🤷♂️
"And if she doesn't promise exactly that, we will knowingly help trump win by not voting & hurt everyone on the planet...b/c we care so much obviously" 😌🤷♂️
Purity games can only be played by people who are risking nothing :/
So knowingly helping trump win by not voting was the solution? I can't see what it fixed, maybe you can list the things that were improved by abstaining 😌🤷♂️
Can't even imagine how terrible you're feeling about trump's substantially worse position on Gaza. After all, didn't he get more than 20 times the amount of money from Aipac than Harris? Please use those rubles to learn about American politics, you seem greatly uninformed 😌🤷♂️
But knowingly choosing to help Netanyahu's candidate of choice win by not voting, was how you truly show you care about Gaza? 😌🤷♂️
But knowingly choosing to help Netanyahu's candidate of choice win by not voting, was how you truly show you care about Gaza? 😌🤷♂️
So knowingly helping trump win by not voting was the solution? What did it fix?
By not voting for Harris you knowingly helped Netanyahu's candidate of choice win 😌🤷♂️
I think just like we study history so it won't repeat, it is not the worst idea to keep reminding the folks who knowingly helped trump win by not voting, that they shouldn't repeat that objective mistake.
Further right than the current president? 😌🤷♂️
