If you’re an unhappy voter and want other unhappy voters to hold their noses and vote for the major candidate they least dislike, think about the Golden Rule.

It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

    Thanks for assuming I’m a rich white man to fit your narrative of making genocide easier for you to support. And yes I do sleep better knowing I’m not supporting someone who has made it crystal clear that she’ll continue enabling genocide.

      I didn’t say rich, but I’m sure you’re not struggling to survive. You didn’t contradict it, so…

      When the election is actually between two people, one of those two are going to be elected. One of them will amplify things, the other will not. I know which one I’d want if I’m a Palestinian. Luckily for you, you aren’t a Palestinian and you’re perfectly willing to sacraficed them so you can tell everyone else that your morals are so good and your hands are “clean.” It’s really convenient how easy it is, and I’m happy for you that you found this loophole. Meanwhile I have to sit in my recognition that people are suffering and I am trying to do what I can.
