Seriously I’m so confused on this. The USA has a 2 party system. You either vote for Biden or you get Trump. Abstaining from the vote you get Trump. MAGA will have a 100% turnout for their God Emperor.

Trump supports Israel 100%. Again, by not voting for Biden the reality is you’re voting for Trump who is even more supportive of Israel and will also attempt to upend democracy in the west.

You don’t have any options here that support Palestine. The reality of the situation is you either get Biden or Trump and the latter is infinitely worse for the ideal you’re trying to uphold by abstaining. That’s how politics work in the US. You might not like it, it sucks, but unfortunately that’s just the way things work.

    It’s really people trying to take a high ground and feel better about themselves.

    They want to know they made a choice where the person they wanted was right. Even if that person doesn’t win, and the person who does win happens to be a person who makes it even harder for them to get what they actually wanted in the future.

      that last bit will be true whether it’s red or blue. so, yea, i’m going to vote for the person who would do what i want them to do.
