I don't get this. 3rd party will never win. Ever. There are two real options. Vote for the one that offers the best outcome for you. Not doing that is accepting that you are ok with the worst of the two, because you had a chance to keep them out of office and choose not to.

Okay, but, abandon her for whom exactly? Just not vote? Vote 3rd party? I am not going to say Harris is perfect, but this is cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Third Party, tyically, that's what most anti-genocide groups are advocating for.

What third party? David Duke just endorsed Jill Stein.

The article says Trump directly. Read the interviews and about his new campaign office in hamtramck.

Many of the candidates from alternative parties are anti-genocide.

No, it's cutting off a cancerous growth yourself because you can't afford healthcare. You might die to metastasis, you might die to blood loss, but if you leave the growth alone it will kill you.

And yes most are planning on voting third party.

I guess that just doesn't make sense to me in the current political landscape. We know the third party isn't going to get the votes, and we also know that Trump is not only not going to save Gaza, he's going to do everything in his power to make this country worse as well. Currently, voting third party is throwing your vote away. I'm not saying I'm in love with the system or that it isn't fucked, but we have two options this election. Neither of them is going to save Gaza, but I don't see why damming the whole country, as well as yourself, to a worse existence, is the more sane option.
