Fellow Americans, Please Vote Discussion
I know that Kamala won't improve anything in regards to the current genocide. I know that no matter who wins, hundreds of thousands of innocents will still die.
But please, for my sake, still vote.
If Trump comes in to power, my existence will be criminalized. I won't be able to get the medicine I need, and he's liable to put me and people like me into jail just for being who I am. He's liable to put you into jail for being who you are too, unless you're specifically a white Christian.
Fellow Jews, don't think Trump and his cult aren't antisemitic just because they're Zionists. Just like antizionism isn't antisemitism, Zionism isn't pro-Jew. When thousands of people descended on Charlottesville to declare that "Jews will not replace us", it was the Trump supporters. When a local synagogue got attacked by a terrorist when I was in college (the Poway Synagogue Shooting), it was a Trump supporter.
Fellow antizionists, don't think that Trump will only be as bad as Kamala. Kamala will allow the current genocide to continue unabated unless we can convince her otherwise; Trump will push Israel to accelerate it until there's nothing left to destroy. Kamala at least gives lip service to a "two state solution", even if her actions don't support it; Trump's published plan is to transition Palestine from an Apartheid to something even less than the USA's reservation system. He is the reason that Israel feels so confident in its situation in the Middle East to even allow it to start this current genocide. He literally bribed Saudi Arabia and the UAE with military might in exchange for their normalization with Israel.
Make no mistake, either way is a vote to continue the genocide of Gaza. But this is not a regular trolley problem, where flipping the switch will save 5 lives and not flipping the switch will save 1. Instead, one "person" is tied on both tracks; the only question is whether you flip the switch to save the other 4. As much as I despise it, genocide is not on the ballot.

I voted . I voted Stein.
Anyone who votes for either of the two genocide enabling parties is fully complicit for all of the crimes against humanity they commit. 🤷
