I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

More like "we fed you the result of your own actions and now you don't like the way it tastes cuz you got worse than Harris"

No matter what else happens the fact will never change that you could have picked Harris and actually saved Gaza. But instead you pretended game theory wasn't real and let it be destroyed by trump.

Nope. This analysis is unrealistic. I would accept "Harris would have been tougher on Netanyahu," but under Biden, an estimate of over 200,000 Gazans have died, and Harris showed no signs of diverging from his policy. NO outcome "saves" Gaza.

Well, I agree that NO outcome in the US election could save Gaza.

Probably for different reasons than you, though.

In any case you will find a lot more abstainers on lemmy.ml or hexbear, if your goal is to actually reach a significant number of them
