From a former pastor who knows what the insiders talk about: a warning we would be foolish to ignore.

To third-party voters: I fully believe in votes of conscience and there will be plenty of time for you to create an alternative to the system we currently have in place—but now isn't that time. A protest vote now isn't a protest, it's reckless and wasteful and it will cost you any future opportunity you're hoping for. You will lose the voice you have.

If you are voting for genocide with "lesser evil" logic then you have already lost any voice worth having.

There is a reason these cowards can't even describe the basic facts with explicit terms. They know what it means to say, "vote for a gemocider" so they hem and has and play with euphemisms.

But you don't need to be convinced by these shills. You can do better than support genocide.

Even if I accept your framing that a vote for Kamala is a vote for genocide in Gaza, literally any other action is a vote for that genocide, plus one in Ukraine, plus one in the US. We know this because that's what Trump has said. We know this because that's what he tried to do the last time. And we will have this problem until Trumpism is soundly defeated. You want a real left choice sometime in your lifetime? We need to vote Dem hard enough to make it clear that Republicans can't win. We're not there yet.
