I’m not giving Trump an advantage by throwing away my vote, so I’d argue that I do have a moral high ground in this case. By (effectively) not voting, you’re demonstrating that you wanna see how Trump will handle Israel, instead. That’s not a concession I’m willing to make, myself.
Argue all you want: you’re here saying you’re going to vote for a genocide and scolding others for refusing. If you want to call that moral, I guess I can’t stop you.
I do speak out against it, I’m not sure why you assume I wouldn’t. However, my options at the polls remain: Vote Trump, and help Trump suck Bibi’s dick, vote Biden and help Biden suck Bibi’s dick, or not vote/vote third party and go back to helping Trump suck Bibi’s dick.
No matter what, the US’s stance on Israel is still going to be shit and we’ll continue supporting their genocide. But I’m gonna go with the guy who at least shows some resistance to Israel (however pitiful it may be).
This isn’t the kind of year to be goofing around with your vote for the sake of sending a message because, in case you haven’t noticed, there’s a fuckin genocide happening right now and Trump would be the worst possible choice for handling a genocide. Save the third party push for a time when it actually has a chance; active genocides are not that time, and it’s incredibly selfish to hold your values over the actual victims of genocide.
You can vote how you want, I can’t change that. But just know that by voting third party this year, you’re effectively doing the most possible damage to Gaza, in the name of showing how much you support them. I dunno how the binding irony of it hasn’t already snapped you back to reality yet.
Palestinians aren’t asking you to vote for Biden, you might notice. Arab Americans are voting for him in significantly lower numbers, in fact. If you want to pretend like you care about victims, maybe listen to them.
And, for what it’s worth, a vote for Biden is a vote for Biden. He doesn’t care if you scold him as long as you vote for him. Any ‘activism’ you engage in ultimately means nothing if you give him your vote at the end of the day.
