Whoever you vote for will support Israel. US ally and all.

Then I simply will not vote.

Throwing trans, gays, women, poor people, minorities etc. under the bus because Biden who has called for a ceasefire in Gaza isn't doing enough.

Not voting because the democrat isn't left enough for you is an extremely privileged outlook to have.

Biden has not called for a ceasefire. He has called for a humanitarian pause until they can get hostages and foreign nationals out, so they can resume bombing. I'll continue using my vote as my voice. You are free to do whatever you want.

Wait, that's literally a cease fire though? He's not calling for a peace agreement or truce. He's calling for a temporary cessation of hostilities.

This exact attitude is how we got where we are. Don't vote for policies you don't believe in. There are other candidates, win or lose, vote for one that represents you.

This isn't how we got here. The people that don't vote tend to be left leaning. Republicans do vote, in mass. I fail to see how thinking not voting/voting third party is how we got here.
