  • For the reasons I mentioned previously, it’s not at all clear which outcome would be worse. So, your premise is flawed. Regardless, you haven’t explained how voting for the alleged lesser of two evils is strategic. What kind of message does it send to both the DNC and RNC that a candidate can actively support a genocide and still get reelected? What message does it send to the world for us to keep a president like Biden in office? What is the goal of that kind of strategy?

    So then the strategy is to shame anyone who isn’t fervently anti-Trump into changing their mind? How is that supposed to work given the Trump era policies that are still in place or the incumbent administration’s material and rhetorical support for the Israeli’s genocidal persecution of the Palestinians? If people want to avoid shame, then not voting for either of the contenders, or at all, seems like the best move for them.


  • The strategy is pretty obviously to vote and advocate against the worse option.

    That is just voting and having an opinion, not really a strategy. What is the incumbent campaign’s strategy for reelection? Are they just hoping that enough voters will see it your way (I presume), in spite of supporting the genocide as well as the policies that more or less haven’t changed since the previous administration?
