    Even if you don’t care about brown people getting Genocided, Democrats are not implementing FPTP. GPTP is just another strawman for “vote blue this time we’ll figure it out next time” and then the Democrats don’t provide the wanted changes.

    The reason Democrats keep shifting right is because they only need to appeal to Republicans. Since they feel it’s literally impossible to lose a left vote, because they’re doing an actual Genocide right now.

    This 30 second video explains it quite well.

      Yeah I get it. But right now thats gonna net us Trump. I care about brown people, as you say, but I also care about how shit is here at home. So I’m not gonna vote third party until our FPTP system is changed. Especially during an election where Trump is on the board again. Thats gonna net us Trump again no matter how self righteous we wanna be.

        No it will net us a stop to the Genocide if there’s enough voting pressure in polling. Biden stepping down because he tanked in the polls is ultimate proof of it. Demanding change for your vote is possible without FPTP.

        Instead of working against third party advocates it’s more effective to work with them and create pressure to stop the Genocide so people can vote Democrat again. And also the Genocide stops nice bonus.

        Thats gonna net us Trump again no matter how self righteous we wanna be.

        Trump will be the same as the Democrats. Kamala and Biden have already pledged to support a war with Iran and the entire region. Israel is just now starting Genocide #2 in the West Bank under Biden.

        If the Democrats want to be not-Trump they actually have to be not-Trump instead of just saying they’re not-Trump.

        And if Democrats believe supporting a Genocide is more important than beating Trump, you have to wonder if they’re as afraid of Trump as they pretend they are.

            If you didn’t know who was president right now and you saw what was happening in Gaza, who would you think won the 2020 election?

              I get it, but the tariffs Team Trump wants to induce will leave my children and I with no roof over our heads. Like, I dont know if you get that, but I will be largely effected at home by who is ruling. I dont have the luxury of constantly micromanaging overseas when I’m struggling right here at home. It matters. And it doesnt matter who is in charge, I was there when Obama dropped all those bombs. The US is imperialist, this is what the evil shits do.

                My only problem is the argument that a vote for Harris is helping Palestinians.

                As for your personal situation, I do empathize but there’s a lot of people losing their roofs and families to Biden right now. Unless Trump promised to F35 bomb your house I can’t prioritize you over them. But your vote is your own.

                Well of course. They never get punished for it so there’s no reason for them to stop. This election it is just getting too blatant.

                  I have a problem with that too. It feels like nobody on this side of the globe with any credible form of power cares. Its like they’re all salivating at the thought and its disgusting and why the fuck does this have to be the stakes in such a non-choice election. In fact, I have never gotten to choose. I’ve only gotten to vote against these fascist fucks. I’m tired. I want new everything, too. I want at least one motherfucker in our government besides fucking Bernie to say how fucked up Israel is. But that never happens. They live in a world of PAC money and favors, and we live at the End of Days.

                    The Greens are offering virtually everything progressives demand.
