Many may feel they have no genuine choice but to support a candidate they don’t fully believe in, fearing that backing the other choice will cost them socially or professionally. The result is an erosion of one of democracy’s core values: the free and open right to choose.

    Wow agreed. So everyone get out there and vote for the no-genocide candidate. F people around you trying to tell you that you should support paying to kill children.

      Fuck off with your concern trolling bullshit. Nougat isn’t alone; everyone else also realizes that your actions show that you love genocide, no matter how much you dishonestly protest otherwise.

      You mean the pro-Putin no-genocide candidate?

      Or the anti-Ukraine no-genocide candidate?

      F both of them.

          The only genocide you care about is the one you can use to get fascism elected.

            When your party is paying to murder tens of thousands of kids then fascism already got elected by you.

              Congress does that. In fact, House Republicans passed a bill to prevent Biden from stopping certain arms shipments to Israel. It didn’t get to the floor of the Democratic majority Senate, though.

              I’ll give you a pass for not understanding US politics, since you certainly don’t live here.

                The Republicans made Biden take offense to being called a Palestinian by Trump and then equate Palestine to Hamas, and constantly saying we will always support Israel, and proudly proclaiming he’s a Zionist? Yeah, maybe you should stop acting like this is merely a Congress issue when anyone with ears and eyes can see through your gaslighting.
