And I’m being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don’t understand it. Can someone please “steelman” that argument for me?

    The Democrats at least call for a ceasefire in Gaza, even though they send weapons to Israel. Trump openly admits that he would like Bibi to flatten the place with no regard for human life.

    But I guess both parties are the same.

        Are you a dead Palestinian Child? No.

        Not voting is basically the same as giving Netanjahu Carte Blanche to kill more innocent palestinians.

        While I understand not being happy with the Status Quo there’s also always a worse option. You now elected that “Worse Option™”.

                  Disappointed in what? The system is rotten. They are pulling the same shit in europe. The far right is rising, the libs gets elected, do fascist policies, everybody’s bitching about immigrants, the bosses have more money than ever, everybody’s unhappy, thus the far right is rising

          I accept my responsibility in how things have turned out. I would feel absolutely horrible and would be wrought with guilt for my entire life if it had come down to a single vote, but I would not have voted for either Kamala or Trump even if I had gone to the polls.

          I understand that makes me responsible in a very small way for Trump winning and I don’t like it, but I accept that. It was a risk I was willing to take in February when I decided not to vote.

          Gaza wasn’t why I decided not to vote at all, the disconnect between voter and politician and the way queer issues were completely abandoned this election were why I didn’t vote. If Kamala had said she would end our alliance with Israel if they didn’t stop killing civilians she still wouldn’t have gotten my vote because I wasn’t casting one to begin with.
