Your choice doesn't affect Gaza. That power lies with Israel and their next election.

For the rest of the world though, it will.

Unconditional political and material support for the genocide from the US is the only reason Israel is able to continue doing it. Period.

What? Do u really think USA doesn't have the power to demand Israel to stop attacking?

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 26 points 3 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

No. they mean, no matter who you vote, the us won't do jackshit

Like saltyiceteamaker said, US won't do jackshit about what Netanyahu doing regardless on who you vote, and even if they don't give them money, highly unlikely Netanyahu will just stop doing what he's doing.

However, for other issue within US or the one affect the world, it have different impact between this two. US is one of the biggest CO2 emission country, and also the world exporter of methane, for example.

Are you aware that the only way Israel is waging their war with guns and bombs is because of the US selling them the weapons? I'm sure Israel would still want to commit genocide without them but would find it much harder to do with literal sticks and stones.

If you vote for genocide you prove that like Biden you do not have any red lines.

Why do Democrats pretend to criticize Biden for letting Israel invade Rafah? They are voting for it in the end. You care as little about Palestinians as Biden.

You can obsessed with that issue all you want, i'm not even American and have no say on what your choice are, and i can give them all the attention i have it still won't change shit until Netanyahu step down.

My current biggest concern is climate crisis, which unsurprisingly affect basically everyone, including Palestinians. Guess which party call that a hoax, are actively destroying the planet, and guess which country are in the top 5 greenhouse gas emission.

Also lemme know if there's any party that share your opinion and concern.

PSL shares both yours and their concerns.

Either way, neither the DNC nor the GOP are attempting to meet the important climate targets seriously, they need to be replaced. If they can't be replaced electorally, then they must be replaced through force.

As a Brazilian, I can unfortunately relate to the exact same scenario...

Needs the "we care ❤️ 🌈" flag on the right side in the rubble somewhere

[–] BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 11 points 3 months ago

That was painted on the side of the missiles sold to the genociders.

Ever wonder why these are our only two choice?

Why 3rd parties can't run without spoiling the election?

Consider watching a video on First Past the Post voting to find out why the spoilere effect exists.

Why 3rd parties can’t run without spoiling the election?

They can and they are. People who don't vote third parties are voting for OPs picture; whether they think they're being smart by "playing the game" or not.

There is a lot of truth in this picture. 2 sides, both shit for humanity. It's a big problem really.. Divide and conquer tactic.. proven tactic.
