    If you are a woman, POC or queer, it is usually really easy to choose a lesser evil here (or idk, a neo-nazi, as I framed this as why a non-voter might also help the democrats). Most people can choose a lesser evil, and they help the greater one by not voting/voting 3rd party. If you literally can’t see a difference, that’s fine, but this is the reason why most people are better of not voting 3rd party right now.

    I’m queer, so is my partner. I’m also a Communist. Trump hates me openly, sure, and Kamala does nothing to stop it.

    Yup, they can make that decision. Maybe they think appealing to the block of Republicans is easier, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they do considering that’s where their money is and how much they need to change to appeal to the left.

    Then we know American electoralism doesn’t matter anyways and we need a revolution.

    So, you don’t know how it would help. Either the Democrats stay in Power and won’t change, or the Republicans gain power and nothing will change until 2028 (or later, depending how project 2025 comes along). Hoping that they may change on Palestine is foolish. You are correct about the support, it should never be unconditional.

    I already told you, you’re just ignoring it.

    Since you said support shouldn’t be unconditional, where’s your line in the sand? Genocide apparently is fine for you.

      As implied in my first comment, I’m luckily not a US citizen. So asking where my line would be is a bit weird.

      But when there is a better option with any chance of winning, they would have my vote. But since the Palestinian Genocide is happening either way I’d vote this election, Dems it is to reduce the suffering inside the USA. Support is, to me, something different, and I don’t think I would support the dems right now.

        As a US citizen, the DNC and GOP ultimately serve the same donors and are aligned.
