Muslim voters disillusioned with President Biden’s position on Israel are facing the prospect of a difficult choice in 2024.
People shouldn’t vote for genocide. If your choice is between Hitler and Satan it’s ok to not vote, or heaven forbid, support a third party.
Every election year I hear about this magical 3rd party that will save us from our shit choices. The only thing a third party would do is split democratic voters, leading to even more republican wins. Despite what left leaning media bubbles say, Republicans are not unhappy. They don’t want a 3rd party for themselves and they will keep voting R until the grim reaper rips them from this plane of existence.
I’m sure the people whose lives are destroyed by Republican fuckery will appreciate your principled stance.
Abstention and 3rd party choices are indirect support for the candidate you’d least prefer.
Both choices might be a shit sandwich, but the US system just doesn’t support not eating one, so it might as well be the one you’d rather than the alternative.
A popular sentiment, but not among historians.
Third party voting in US politics has resulted in numerous labor and civil rights. women’s suffrage, social security, 8 hour workday, etc.
Just another time when academia conflicts with your typical op-ed. A third party vote is probably the most powerful one you can make.
In the 2024 presidential race, if anyone who would otherwise vote for Biden, from any state that is not 100% safe, chooses not to over basically any issue(s), they improve the odds of an R, with a worse stance on that issue, winning the election. Ideology can take a long walk off a short pier when sobering reality comes knocking.
