Another illiterate. I'm voting for Harris, I'm just angry at the assholes who forced this choice.
Me too. Our voting system sucks. We need to get rid of the electoral college and have ranked choice or other system that makes 3rd parties viable.
The 2-party system means getting railroaded a lot.
And yet, libs would rather literally argue for some genocide, than for the abolition of the system that forces them in to that choice (which, when argued so passionately, doesn't seem like being forced at all).
No one is illiterate here. This is a text platform. You keep accusing people of being illiterate, yet didnt say you were voting for harris until you assumed someone would have read it somewhere yet the only mention was way down.
For the record i agree with your position. Its an absolute shame that there is no viable vote AGAINST genocide. Sure we could vote third party, but the third party votes are mostly sapping away from democrats, therefore unfortunately helping trump, who would surely do more to enable israel's genocide than the dems, who hopefully push back to some degree.
Ive got friends who are refusing to vote in protest of the democrats not taking a hard stance against israel. While i agree with then in theory, in practice i think trump will be worse both domestically and internationally.
All that said, you might benefit from taking a smoke break and stop accusing everyone of being illiterate.
It is called reading comprehension, which is a component of literacy. I'll quote myself from the comment before I started pointing out the rampant illiteracy in this thread.
"The fact that I am being made complicit by the realities of the situation I've been forced into by the majority in my country (read: white colonizers) really pisses me off."
Another component of literacy is communicating clearly, which you failed to do. You then got upset that people didn't understand your vague statement.
Paying taxes also makes you complicit in the arming of Israel. You never stated whether you were voting or not.
There are people beyond just you that still need to hear this, apparently.
