So as they are being killed, they can think “well, zarkanian didn’t vote for the choice that might have improved my chances of not being killed, but at least it was a principled wrong choice”
Stein had huge support among Palestinian-Americans. She was the one that they were asking people to vote for. She was endorsed by several Arab-American organizations. This is because she was the only anti-genocide candidate on enough ballots to win.
Why would they want me to vote for the administration that is not only funding their genocide, but has promised to never stop funding it?
They may have preferred the outcome where she won but that was never going to happen no matter how you voted. The possibility that your vote was the difference between Trump and Harris, on the other hand, was within the realm of possibility.
We need ranked choice voting. But at the moment we don’t have it.
But you’re negatively judging Harris voters in swing states. To me that’s like negatively judging people faced with the trolley problem who chose to pull the lever because death still resulted, and then suggesting the solution instead is to go advocate against trolleys and people who tie people to tracks, when in reality that’s the same as not pulling the lever.
You were defending Trump implicitly though.
And you voted for him implicitly when you stayed home.
And before the “wah that’s not how it works” reply: yes it is.
I didn’t stay home. I voted for Jill Stein.

Not even remotely. I don’t live in a swing state.
