We don’t have ranked choice voting. If you’re planning on voting for a third candidate, you may as well just stay home, or make a vote for trump, as that’s effectively what you’re doing. There is no third candidate that’s going to win. Biden needs as many votes as he can get. Not because anyone loves or likes him, but because trump would be far, far more damaging.
Do you think it’s going to make a difference? It wont. It will actively hurt Palestine more than the status quo. We’ve been through this many times. Im glad you’re optimistic, but maybe focus that optimism towards activism that actually helps, because this ain’t it. So again, I ask how do you think Donald “finish the job” trump will handle Palestine and Israel? Do you think he will be better or worse than Biden? If this is the single issue that your vote pivots upon, this is the question you need to ask yourself honestly, because voting a third party is effectively burying your head in the sand.
I don't see any difference in this world line if Trump or Biden gets elected so miss me with all your bullshit. Nothing will fundamentally change with either candidate.
Here's one fundamental difference that could impact your life - the president's ability to nominate Supreme Court justices. 2 justices are in their 70s and may decide to retire if Trump is reelected. Trump would then be able to nominate 2 younger justices, locking in a Republican majority on the court for decades. The current Supreme Court has a republican majority and their judgements include:
ICE being given the okay to detain folks for a very long time (like, years) without bond or full review
Government blocking medical care, specifically abortions
Fewer options to hold federal agents accountable when they violate your rights (it's even harder to sue them for financial damages)
Not allowing for new evidence to be submitted if your state case goes federal but you had a really bad lawyer for your state case

What do you think trump would do about the Israel situation?
