    What a strange non sequitor.

    Getting involved with a principled leftist party or a principled union or a principled leftist volunteer org (ie. organising) is far more helpful and does far more than voting for genocidal fascists ever could. That you need an immediate panacea in order to be dissuaded from voting for genocide is not something anyone but you can do anything about. If any of these things are too much (they aren’t) then at the very least just vote third party.

            I promise you you do, even if you live out in the boondocks. Do you know why I know you do? Because you have access to the internet. Of course this is something you could have just searched up on your own and I think you are aware of it. Sorry for not taking your bad-faith-bait. Anyway, don’t vote for genociders.

              My bad faith bait? Jesus Christ, the irony. “Don’t vote for genociders”. Give me a fucking break. What are you, 15?

                You keep trying to change the subject, you jump from discussion to discussion. Why? And you become increasingly aggressive. Consider stepping away from the keyboard for a while.

                What are you, 15?

                That seems like it would reflect poorly upon you, since a teenager would then be running circles around you.

                There is nothing bad faith or bait about “don’t vote for genociders.” It is a genuine request, please do not continue giving power to genociders. As opposed to your question about having nothing available, which is pretty clearly a disingenuous question. Had it been sincere then you would have taken the time to give context to explain how nothing is available to you and explained what kind of work you think you would like to do and ask for help with first steps in getting into organising. You didn’t do any of these things because your question was not genuine, so you did not consider how a person asking such a thing would actually approach the dilemma.

                  Because there’s no viable candidate that you don’t consider a genicider, whether they are or not, which gets actual genociders elected.

                    whether they are or not,

                    Oh neat! A genocide denier.

                    Anyway there’s actually plenty of viable canidates, you can vote for any third party not supporting israel!
