The only realistic options have the same result on foreign policy with Israel, so you’re not voting to influence that. The president is not just one policy, it’s their entire platform of policies that determines how the country runs for the next 4 years. It’s always better to choose the lesser of two evils than to allow the greater evil to have a greater chance to win.
Which means we must reach for unrealistic results; we must change the system by means other than election. A new constitutional convention must be called.
Agreed, America has one of the oldest (and therefore most outdated) democracies in the world. Unfortunately we also have a lot of nationalism that reverses our founders as gods not to be questioned, and that thinks the constitution was meant to be largely immutable. If you have a way to overhaul our constitution that doesn’t require massive civil unrest, I’ll be there to support it
Yeah that’s true. But the deal was always that Palestinian/Muslim voters accept that they are the victims of geopolitics and in return there’s at least some kind of support.
But with Biden giving Israel the opportunity to commit an outright genocide in front of the world, he has crossed a line. We have reached a point where a „both sides bad“ and „it’s complicated“ policy just doesn’t work anymore.
