I want to minimize Palestinian suffering as much as possible. There is clearly a worse option and no alternative to Trump and Harris. There's only one way to reduce harm. I hate that I have to keep doing this lesser of all evil shit but that's what we're living with right now.
I hate that I have to keep doing this ...
A lot of people have reached that point and checked out. Kamala could do a lot of things to get people back on board though.
But it doesn't change the fact that I am voting for the outcome I want that is reasonably available to me based on the options.
I think it's disingenuous for the green party to say that a vote for them is a vote to stop the genocide. There is literally no scenario where the genocide stops if Jill Stein gets 4% of the vote. All it does is increase the chances of another trump presidency. And while I would rather have green party politics, I am under no illusion that they have the faintest chance of actually getting them in place.
I also understand some Palestinians voting down-ballot and ignoring the Presidential race after having lost friends and family to the foreign policy of both candidates. I couldn't imagine the pain of voting for your (or your family's) oppressors or their enablers.
I understand your position. I'm going to keep withholding my vote in the hope there are enough of us to make Kamala earn it back with policy.
I think you missed the word "don't"Me fail english. I misread what OP was saying. Sorry, my bad
I thought that at first too. Then I realized that it wasn't a rhetorical device and that they literally meant that they want to reduce Palestinian suffering.
I believe they meant they wanted to see actions that minimized Palestinian suffering, not “I want to speak as if I’m minimizing the importance of Palestinian suffering”
Actually, rereading the post, I think they had it correct. The "don't" would in fact be the opposite of what they said, and that doesn't make sense with the rest of the context.
All good.
