“I’m unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself, and that’s not gonna change,” said Harris, recounting the horrors of the Hamas-led October 7 attack. “Israel had a right, has a right to defend itself.”

    They can vote for anyone on the ballot in their state, or in states that support it, write in a name of their choosing.

    It would essentially be a protest vote, telling the big 2: “you might have got this vote if you’d had a better stance on Israel.”

      Protest votes are also a terrible idea.

      Not only is this not the only issue in the world, but even just on this issue, with both (actual) options being bad, it’s still the case that one side is orders of magnitude worse than the other.

        Just want to make the point that this was the exact logic we had to stick with the grand malfeasance which was candidate Biden.

        So no. Wrong. False.

          If I had the option to vote for someone else in the primary (not counting brain worm or antivax, but even they had dropped out by then) then I would have.
          My options were Biden or not vote in the primary. I wasn’t happy about that, but I still would have chosen him over Trump in the general election of course.

          Not voting or voting protest in Nov would still help Trump. That’s just how the math works.
