You are giving a mandate to a genocide.

You can rationalise this all you want to pretend you're not a bad person but choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.

The correct position, and the position that every Palestinian I've actually spoken to has, is that you should reject the system and regime entirely. Not legitimise it by participating.

Letting our children be educated into being chuds and destroying local social services by not voting isn't gonna lead to communism.

Step 1: Don't vote in local elections
Step 2: Voting rates hit some arbitrary low number, deligitimizing democracy
Step 3: ???
Step 4: We achieve communism or force a ceasefire?

I don't know, I just don't see it. It's no more logical than the Nazis attacking a transformer to make race war happen. I'm not even saying vote for Kamala, but throwing my ballot initiative to legalize abortion just doesn't make sense unless you're an accelerationist.

Bad take. Vote 3rd party on top of the ballot, or leave it blank. But you should def vote in the local elections and keep the Cletuses away from your kids.
