So what you're saying is that because you don't like Biden's handling of Isreal/Palestine that you're going to passively support someone who would handle it even worse on behalf of a party that's controlled by a doomsday cult that actively wants WWIII to break out there?
You're on this bus, like it or not. You can't choose not to participate, because sitting on your hands has real consequences.
Last time Trump saw in charge he split the country worse than it's ever been divided since the Civil War, dismantled the agencies that would have prevented a pandemic that killed millions, supported fascist regimes while trying to install one here, and committed war crimes and assassinations, and poisoned the federal judiciary for decades.
If he were still President, there would be millions of dead Ukrainians and he would have stated carpet-bombing Palestine directly by now.
If he gets re-elected, or will be because of people who think that choosing not to participate is a legitimate option, and you will be responsible for every nightmarish thing he does except for the mishandling of Israel.
I don't have any say in his policies. That's why it's on politicians to earn votes. The entire system is meant to flush out politicians who refuse to listen to their constituents. Putting responsibility on the voters to show up regardless of that makes the entire system useless.
