As a non-American, it’s kind of wild your two options for Palestine are “nuked on the first day” vs “slowly killed over four years”.

It’s also wild to me that people see these two options, know that they are the only two possible outcomes for this election, and refuse to choose the one that will save more lives. Trump has said he will hold nothing back and wants Israel to finish the job as quickly as possible. While the democrats care about saving face and making Israel play the victim to avoid international backlash while still trying to accomplish the same goal. Their hesitancy and their need to be at least seen as the good guys will slow down the process, give people time to escape, give international organizations more time to provide aid, give activists more time to make a difference and try to roll back any Zionist policies. This isn’t some lesser of two evils bullshit, this is “one option will, in practice, lead to more living breathing people than the other.” Voting is the absolute bare minimum amount of influence Americans have on our government, and it only comes around every two years. The rest of the time the decisions that actually matter are not up to us, so unless your abstinence from voting means that a glorious revolution will come between now and January, you’re better off taking the minimal amount of effort it takes to vote and adding that on to whatever other activism you are participating in (and if you aren’t participating in any other activism, what the actual fuck are you doing talking about this stuff).

They're doing nothing. I haven't met a single person in real life doing actual organizing who actively advocates for people to not vote. They're not hopeful that voting will change anything, but they still vote. So people saying this stuff is just so weird to me. "Yes, we prefer the option where there is more damage, faster"

Like, voting has never been something pleasant. Frankly, most people are extremely ignorant and/or stupid, so in general leftist parties have a hard time winning, if they exist at all. Unless you somehow have someone like Castro (which I mean isn't happening any time soon) and a very different form of government, living in a democracy will entail the very painful process of voting.
