For the second time this month the Biden administration is bypassing Congress to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel as Israel continues to prosecute its war against Hamas in Gaza under increasing international criticism.
I’ve decided I’m just not voting next election. I’m sick of all the drama and lies, The US is fucked anyway, might as well not leave it on life support. Between constant wars, inability to handle the most basic of citizens needs and each party being a pissing contest I just decided there’s no point in doing so. Not like either candidate follows their user bases values anyway and it’s super unlikely anyone else will win. I’ll change my mind when I see evidence that says otherwise. I’ve given it 8 years and seen no real big change.
I don’t blame you. It’s exhausting to see American leadership spending the minimal amount of political capital to please the ruling class while working class Americans suffer and we see our tax dollars funding wars and genocide abroad. I’ve decided to vote for Claudia and Karina on the PSL ticket. It will be the first time ever voting for PSL but I am so done supporting conservative Democrats offering last minute concessions after flopping through the entirety of their term.

Thanks for sharing!
For those reading this and think third party votes are “A wAsTE oFA vOtE”
It’s a waste of your vote to vote for someone you don’t want in office, just because you dislike the other likely candidate more.
A third party votes move to change main party platforms. If enough people vote for a third party, a major party is more likely to take up those stances to get those votes. Your vote isn’t always abouting winning.
Idiotic take.
How many civilian deaths is Biden responsible for and how many was trump responsible for? trump is probably the lesser of 2 evils in that respect at this point
Idiotic, totally clueless take.
Brilliant response I’m totally owned. Have fun voting for genocide
Trump ramped up killing civilians with drone strikes under his administration.
“Airwars, estimates the number to be as great as 7,500.”

That’s direct deaths ordered by Trump which is completely different Biden allowing an arm sale planned months/years ago to go through.

Biden gave Natenyahu carte blanche after oct 7th and told him the US would have his back no matter what. Biden is in the position to put pressure on the Israeli gov but refuses to do so. The blood is on his hands
Hundreds of thousands of people that died from covid likely would have lived had anyone else been in office, even other Republicans. If I was a law and order type I’d say Trump should be hanged for mass murder. But you could say the same of Biden when looking at his political history really.
After seeing the way Biden has handled covid you really think he would’ve done anything better than trump in 2020? I really really doubt it.
Biden has always pushed for more bombing in the middle east his record speaks for itself he’s a bloodthirsty imperialist.
Yeah, let the greater evil win earlier, what a plan. JFC
Considering my state banned the most likely primary republican candidate, I don’t think the democratic Party is dying for my specific vote. And if they were, my recommendation is to find someone who can walk the walk. I don’t think the current one failed but, I think his priorities are in the wrong location. That is the entire point of the voting system, “you can’t not vote X or Y will win” is a toxic mindset, changes never happen if you just blindly vote regardless of situation.
I think people are finally asking themselves “If I’m voting for a lesser evil, and every vote of my lifetime has been a vote for ‘lesser evil’, is it the ruling class itself that is evil?”
Thank you for not supporting anyone committing genocide.
Either a third party or no vote.
Your choice is between killing some or killing them all. Trump has said he will deport all Muslims as dictator on day 1. He expressed no sympathy for Gaza instead saying he wants it to play out.
It’s the lesser of 2 evils. The world isn’t fair. But you have the power to stop the worse evil.
