I find it harder and harder to give a shit about Gaza when I am legitimately worried that Donald Trump will sign an executive order demanding my arrest any day now.
but you were ready to vote for it under harris' gov... i suggest you never really cared.
So, who should someone who “really cared” have voted for? To you, a vote for either viable candidate signifies apathy to the Gazan struggle, so only a throw-away vote or not voting signify true caring? Is it even possible in your mind for an American voter to care about Palestinians and the fate of their own country?
third party =/= throwaway.. did you know the republicans used to be a third party? you're short-sighted in thinking a) anything will get better under democrats OR republicans in their current iteration and b) if i can't have immediate change, everything i do is moot.
When the primaries are over and there’s no viable third party candidate in the running, yes, third party vote = throwaway vote. Your idealist thinking is what’s short-sighted.
yeah let's talk about primaries... :D lol
