    What about all the innocent women who are dying in our country because of who trump appointed to the supreme court and the result was the overturning roe vs wade?

    Do those lives matter at all to you? Women bleeding to death in their cars because hospitals refuse to treat a miscarriage.

    What about the kids who get massacred in school shootings because Trump and people like him won’t support increased gun control legislation?

    What about all the innocent people of color who have been killed by police? Do they matter to you?

    If trump gets into the office not only will the Palestinian people be far worse off, so will every group I mentioned above and more.

    You said you are against killing innocent people, then why dont you care about the women, children, and people of color who are getting killed in our country needlessly?

    There’s far more destruction for far more people if trump gets into office. If you want to double down, go for it, because I think it’s worth reminding people just how much death in our country can attributed to Trump. Every woman who dies from preventable pregnancy complications. Trump directly contributed to that.

      There is no level of killing innocent people that I’m okay with.
      I’ll support a political party which does not want to make people worse off because of their identity.

        The problem, as I see it, is that there is literally no chance for a third party to win the presidency.

        Which means that I have three options:

        • Vote Trump. Someone who has called for more violence.
        • Vote Harris. Whether I’m happy with her or the Democratic party or not. Try and mitigate as much killing and harm as I am able to. Actively try to prevent things from getting worse.
        • Vote third party/Don’t vote. Either Trump or Harris will win, and I can claim my conscious is clear. If Trump wins, I will have not done what little I could have to lessen the evil. I have to be okay with someone who is far worse getting into power

        We can’t solve the genocide by voting third party. All we can do, all that the little power granted to us can do, is try and prevent it from getting worse. So if you want to prevent as much killing as you actually can, if you want to give the most people the opportunity to live, then morally as I see it, you need to vote Harris.

        Is she perfect? No. Hell no, man. But she is the candidate that with this genocide happening, and it is happening regardless of who is getting in, who will give the most Palestinians a chance to live. A third party candidate isn’t making it to the White house so a third party candidate can NOT lessen the harm.

          I do not have three options, myself.

          It is said that Americans have three options, the best of which only might improve the situation where one country is terrorising another country by killing innocent people, every day.

            So are you American? It sounds like you aren’t and, if not, why are you advocating for people not to vote or vote third party?

              why are you advocating for people not to vote or vote third party?

              Can you point out where I advocated for any particular voting choice? I just said that I don’t find killing innocents acceptable, and would prefer to have the choice of voting for a party which agreed with that - in my mind, perfectly acceptable - moral value.
