    You can, so long as you acknowledge that them taking an anti Israel stance would most likely also lead to Trump due to other democrats feeling alienated, and thus, a Trump administration that will do even more genocide.

    The sad truth just seems to be that not even among democrats that position is a majority. No matter what you voted for, it would most likely not have changed that. The US needs like 20-40 years of progressive change before the majority is ready to take on such positions, and the way to ensure that timeline becomes longer and longer, is by making choices that undercut even small steps there.

    Don’t vote for the lesser evil, vote for the path towards that eventual US where your opinion is held by the majority.

      Been trying that for decades and it hasn’t worked.

      The only reason I started voting for the Dems in the first place was because they were anti-war, now they are pro-war so things have moved backwards

        ok great news, you can like, do political ground work, today, for free even. Just go outside and talk to people, im sure there are even organizations that will assist you and provide you material to go and do it for them. It’s not hard.

          The money is on the side of pro-war politics, this isn’t about what 1 person is capable of its a systemic problem

                i mean, that’s one option. Too bad you don’t like, interact with people regularly or something. There’s no data or research that suggests that you can influence the opinion of people by simply talking to them.
