Is it ok to vote for Kamala, just make my chud family members miserable?

would you feel comfortable face-to-face explaining to a Palestinian child why you voted for his extermination?

do you feel comfortable explaining to a Palestinian child how you’re paying for their extermination?

You think they’ll give a fuck if you said ‘but I didn’t vote for it’?
- Nobody should vote for these genocidal fucks. There is no excuse to vote for genocide.
  
  But when it comes to paying, serious question: Is there any way to avoid having the money I am forced to accrue and produce with my labor stolen from my paycheck and used to murder people? Other than the extremely obvious.
  
  This is not a joke, this is not a bit, this is not attempt to excuse people doing nothing, this is not an attempt to struggle-session with you. I've seriously wondered if I should quit my job and start robbing yuppies for rent money but down that path lies a quick death that achieves ... nothing? of useful strategy.
  
  And maybe the answer is that the most moral and only thing to do is do the obvious and die with our souls pure. But I have a family and I know what the state would do to them -- arrest, interrogate, and torture them to set an example to others. It's not moral but I can't do that to them, they've been put through so much horrible shit at the hands of the US Empire already.
- I have to eat food, I don't have to vote
This is a good point.

You can just tell your chud family you voted for her lying is easy

don't forget to tell them about me, the non american from Brazil who sent 50 mail in ballots for kamala via the local embassy
- Axé, Kamala!
- I sent in two billion votes for
I am a Communist, and a Christian. I abhor lying.
- Which is worse, lying or actively supporting genocide?
  
  This is not a hard question.
- and a Christian
  
  Brother unironically you will be committing a grave, grave sin if you vote for someone who is actively sanctioning a genocide and desecration upon the holy lands. Think about it, these are deeply sacred lands for every sect of the abrahamic faiths, yours too! And look at what literal satan and moloch are doing to the rightful keepers of those lands. Please for the sake of your soul its better not to vote for such an incarnation of evil upon earth.
- You should probably do the render unto ceasar thing and just sit this all out, then.
- spite is also not very christian
- write in Kamala for some position other than pres, then you can say you voted for her and it wouldn't be a lie

You can just lie lol

A vote for genocide is an endorsement of genocide. An endorsement of genocide damns one's soul. Everyone who knowingly votes for genocide deserves to go to Hell.

Implicit in this question is the moral calculation that the lives of Palestinians are worth less than triggering your evil relatives. Comrade I know you don't believe that. So don't fall into the trap of acting as if you do.

In light of that, no, absolutely do not vote for Holocaust Harris. If you want to antagonize your shitty chud family members, just vote 3rd PSL and tell them you voted PSL because you want the Communists to win and put your family in gulags so that they can be cleansed of the sin of reaction by experiencing a fraction of the hell that AmeriKKKa has inflicted on the Middle East and Palestine in particular. ~~Or just punch them in their stupid faces? haha, jk... lest? Nay, perish the thought. .... Lest?~~

bugs-no

Just tell them Trumpet and KKKamala are both "the fucking devil", then write-in xi-vote

“Sorry mom, I need my Xi-bucks.”

Unless you happen to live in swing state, your vote does not matter, and will change nothing. Put whomever makes you feel better down, or just lie. The only thing being affected here is your feelings.

I just wanna say that there are lots of good points in this thread.

Legitimately glad I asked.

mario-thumbs-up

Sorry, I responded b4 seeing you got the point. I'm glad you asked and glad you took the feedback well! This is part of learning and growing, well done

TIRED: harm reduction

WIRED: misery infliction

I'll vote PSL or Green depending on what's on my ballot, and that will fuck with both my chud family and my "neoliberal centrist" family. If you're going to troll, commit to the bit

Voting third party would piss them all off even more.

Isn't this the trap that Matt told us about in his description of how the two parties operate: The Bourgeois electoral system as a competition to see which faction can mobilize it's base of supporters to make the opposing faction's supporters miserable by utilizing the machinery of state.

Basically the temptation to get lost in electoralism by owning the libs/chuds.

Are you saying that they wouldn't be just as miserable from you voting for the gommunist PSL?

No, you would be unironically supporting genocide just to spite your family members

Write in Biden instead

I'm writing in Clinton. It's her turn!

Do whatever you want. Electorialism sucks.

Write in Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton

tbh I think people here take voting too seriously, sometimes it feels like electoralism brain but the other way around, as if not voting makes any sort of difference. We're getting Kamala or Trump either way, there's no possible way your vote or non-vote is going to have any effect on policy towards Israel/Palestine. I think you're fine.
