    I’ve seen you comment that in a few places, and I don’t really think I disagree with you. It’s truly awful what is happening and has happened to Palestinians. It’s also awful that our government is, on average, indifferent and in bed with AIPAC.

    I wish there were real leaders here with courage to lead and be better. I would much rather vote to support men and women like that than “which of these humans trash bags will do the least damage.”

      Listen.

      I ain’t gonna tell you now to vote.

      I firmly object to people telling ME how to vote. Especially when it is clear they care more about a tax policy that will never pass the house, than they do about tens of thousands of dead children.

        Yeah, I hear you on that.

        But many are rightfully afraid of another Trump presidency and the not zero chance that there will be no further real elections. I’m sure you understand that view too.

          If you live in a swing state you gotta do what you think is best.

          My vote literally doesn’t matter. Kamala will not get within 10 points in my state. I am not gonna mix my pride up with her shame.

            Yeah, swing stater here. Sucks that your vote is drowned out. I know that frustration from before I moved here.
