First of all what the fuck does Zionism have to with it. Keep your conspiracy bullshit. Second of all how do you believe you can personally influence whether or not the first past the post voting system may be replaced?
I was asking what any of that has to do with the two party system
It's completely delusional to vote for a third party candidate in the US election system. The chance of winning is 0%. It won't happen. Absolutely impossible. The only thing it does is strengthen the candidate with the more committed voter base or in other words: the republican candidate.
If you had ranked choice voting or the president was elected by a parliament that is elected by proportional vote like in most of Europe, that wouldn't be a problem. It's not like that though. If you vote third party in the US, all you accomplish is making a Trump victory more likely.
Wow it's almost like Russian bots are directly relevant to the topic of Voter Suppression and there are more reasons to vote for Biden than wanting to perpetuate a genocide. Inconceivable!
Are you telling me lobbying is legal in the US?
Say it ain't so! /s
You mean taking money from an ally is different from taking money from an enemy?
Say it ain't so! /s
Yes, Isreal is lobbying the U.S. government and that's bad. It's also entirely irrelevant to the discussion.
"you're a Zionist! and you're a Zionist! And you! You're a Zionist too!"
I love that the slightest push back to any of your points == "defending genocide".
You're so fragile you'll snap at the slightest breeze.
You know what? I DO think Israel is committing genocide --or at the least it's bordering on that in the absence of an official verdict by the ICC.
But I don't owe anyone my personal position on topics when it's not the argument that is being discussed. I DONT need to use sophistry and labels to "otherise" every actor on the internet because I'm not a fucking child.
You should try it sometime. It's people like you who can't engage faithfully with topics that cause more harm to the Palestinian cause because you enable the IDF by spreading false information that can easily be fact checked. No one takes you seriously any more because you've reached your goal of calling everyone Zionists. It's a method of actively sabotaging the discourse so that no progress can happen. And it's working really well. World.news is a lovely echo chamber of your ilk just hysterical crying about atrocities while doing absolutely jack shit to move back the needle towards a resolution.
It's Kony 2012 all over again.
Kony 2012!
You got the book "Everyone who disagree with me defends genocide" too?
Marvelous.
