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.

    If Trump wins, we won’t have fair elections in 2028. Do they need to see a second insurrection to get off the fence?

      Absolutely this. Every election is becoming more of a zero sum game than the last. In the 24 election one of the candidates is very open about his fascist view and implementation if said views

      Right? Like, just go read about Project 2025 if you somehow still think the GOP is benign. Jfc.

      Or, idk, maybe remember the absolute clusterfuck that was the Trump presidency? That was only 2016-2020.

      Anyone who says it is worth risking Trump and the GOP gaining power again is either a fool, a fascist or racist Trump shill, ignorant, stupid, insane, or an operative for a foreign government working psyops – or some combination thereof.

        They’ve never ever been truly fair. But it can definitely get worse. Don’t make excuses.
