Voting 3rd party would not have stopped anything, because TPTB don’t care about you. Vote for them, don’t vote for them, they literally do not care.
We saw it with Hillary in 2016 and we’re seeing it with Harris now… “Well, clearly I’m not the problem, it’s the people who were wrong…”
Harris, who REPEATEDLY called for a cease fire and a two state solution WAS the best answer to the genocide, but the morons who stayed home or voted 3rd party at best intentionally ignored what she was saying, at worst distorted it into “she supports genocide!”
She said the war “must end such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self-determination.”
“So to everyone who has been calling for a cease-fire, and to everyone who has been calling for peace, I see you and I hear you. Let’s get the deal done so we can get a cease-fire to end the war. Let’s bring the hostages home, and let’s provide much-needed relief to the Palestinian people.”
“What we are seeing every day in Gaza is devastating. We have seen reports of families eating leaves or animal feed, women giving birth to malnourished babies with little or no medical care, and children dying from malnutrition and dehydration,” Harris said. “Too many innocent Palestinians have been killed.”
“No excuses,” the vice president said. “They must ensure humanitarian convoys are not targeted and restore basic services and order in Gaza so more food, water and fuel can reach those in need.”
That is not what someone says when they are pro-genocide. That sounds like this:
I should have specified; for the sake of the argument, I was accepting AfricanExpansionist’s premise that both main candidates would have led to a genocide, because even under that assumption, they were wrong not to vote and were more complicit in the genocide than if they had taken another easy option that they had available (voting third party).
I agree that Harris had a significant chance to stop the genocide, which is one of many good reasons why I voted for her. Not trying to toot my own horn, just clarifying.

"They have to get it done. Get it over with and get it over with fast because we have to – you have to get back to normalcy and peace.”
