I agree. Let’s support Trump, the person who legalised the West Bank occupation.
You don’t have to support Biden or Trump if genocide is a red line for you.
You will, however, be politically impotent in that case. Checking out of democracy because one option is only incrementally better than the other isn’t really helping anyone.
What do you mean by “checking out of democracy?”
As for Kamala being less evil, this is true, yes. However, what’s the plan, long-term? Just keep voting for increasingly right-wing ghouls, as long as they aren’t as bad as the GOP, until the GOP inevitably wins again?
If you want democrats to be a certain way, vote for those democrats in primaries and local elections. You have to fix it from the bottom up and from within.
This is historically inaccurate, though. You can’t fix the party from within, because the DNC will always serve its donors. Voting for slightly more progressive democrats won’t actually change that fact.
I wrote in “Gaza” on the primary, but come november I am 100% sure that I’m gonna be voting D as hard as I can because my partner is trans and I’d rather not be driven from the country by transphobia, thanks.
Criticising the democrats for when they’re not good is absolutely valid, but at the same time, get out and vote for them and mobilize as many voters for them as you can, because the difference in outcome between the two parties with legitimate chances of winning is too great to throw away your votes protesting the lesser of two evils. By all means, keep protesting (In other ways, besides the ballot box), but also do your part to make sure that we get the lesser of two evils, not the greater.
Violence against trans individuals has increased under Biden. That isn’t because Biden is “tougher on trans issues,” it’s because the DNC is doing absolutely nothing to prevent the root cause of fascism from rising, which is decaying Capitalism.
Vote for whoever you want, but if you want to protect your partner, you’ll likely get best results by living in a blue area of a blue state, regardless of who is in the federal office.
