Your choice doesn't affect Gaza. That power lies with Israel and their next election.

For the rest of the world though, it will.

Unconditional political and material support for the genocide from the US is the only reason Israel is able to continue doing it. Period.

What? Do u really think USA doesn't have the power to demand Israel to stop attacking?

No. they mean, no matter who you vote, the us won't do jackshit

Like saltyiceteamaker said, US won't do jackshit about what Netanyahu doing regardless on who you vote, and even if they don't give them money, highly unlikely Netanyahu will just stop doing what he's doing.

However, for other issue within US or the one affect the world, it have different impact between this two. US is one of the biggest CO2 emission country, and also the world exporter of methane, for example.

Are you aware that the only way Israel is waging their war with guns and bombs is because of the US selling them the weapons? I'm sure Israel would still want to commit genocide without them but would find it much harder to do with literal sticks and stones.

Needs the "we care ❤️ 🌈" flag on the right side in the rubble somewhere

That was painted on the side of the missiles sold to the genociders.

I like my politics like I like my wrestling, kayfabe

There is a lot of truth in this picture. 2 sides, both shit for humanity. It's a big problem really.. Divide and conquer tactic.. proven tactic.

Ever wonder why these are our only two choice?

Why 3rd parties can't run without spoiling the election?

Consider watching a video on First Past the Post voting to find out why the spoilere effect exists.

Why 3rd parties can’t run without spoiling the election?

They can and they are. People who don't vote third parties are voting for OPs picture; whether they think they're being smart by "playing the game" or not.
