    Remember when people thought Trump was crazy for trying to go to war with Iran? Choosing the lesser evil everytime in “democratic” elections has got us to this.

      Which candidate that has a chance of winning the election in November do you think Americans should vote for?

        Neither. Leave it blank or vote green, even though they definitely won’t win. Giving your vote to the Democrats now, from their perspective, means you’re complacent enough to ignore an entire genocide. Your government is absolutely gonna use weapons and tactics against its populace that Israel has been doing.

        And no, Trump doing more genocide isn’t a valid argument.

          Why bother voting at all if you’re going to do that? What does it accomplish any more than staying home?

          And no, Trump doing more genocide isn’t a valid argument.

          As the parent of a queer daughter, hard disagree.

            You make it clear to the democrats you won’t tolerate them adopting right wing policies and genocide.

            Democrats have turned against migrants and queer people too. I’m sorry to say this, but the world is unsafe for queer people everywhere, including me.

            If Trump wins democrats would get off their asses and try to block him. Instead they’re now totally on board with building a functionless border wall, for example. Remember when people called Trump insane for doing that. Now here we are.

            Vote for whoever you like, keep your family safe. Perhaps I’m the exception, but I will never feel safe again, regardless of who wins, and I’m Canadian.

            No one is free until everyone is free.

              Why would it make it clear to them now when it didn’t make it clear to them any other time Jill Stein ran for president? When she has less support this time than she has previously? That is absolutely illogical.

              Democrats have turned against migrants and queer people too.

              You have no fucking idea what you’re talking about. Republicans want to put my daughter in a fucking camp. Democrats do not.

                Uhuh. It’s only a matter of time with the democrats. If they’re fine with mass murder of middle easterners, they can easily do the same with white queer people.

                Regardless, I’m not interested in having an argument with some internet rando. I’ll not reply going forward.

                  Your “internet rando” prediction of “it’s only a matter of time” with Democrats vs. what they Republicans literally say they are going to do.

                  Yeah, think I’ll go with stopping what people actually say they’re going to do to my child rather than endanger her like in your concept. You do what you like to your own children, if you have any.
