They better hurry up and move somewhere civilized.

That is where the fostering of the idea that the media is unreliable comes in. Even if they heard this, they didn’t believe it to be true.
It’s small comfort, but a large portion of that 40% just vote straight R all the way down the ballot without the slightest bit of knowledge of who they are voting for.
They were uncomfortable because of Covid. That’s not likely to happen again soon. They were the most widespread protests this country has had since Vietnam (at least) and they accomplished nothing. The government has those kinds of protests figured out and can crush them or make them irrelevant. Nothing is going to change until people are willing to risk their own lives.
And that protest movement accomplished nothing.
Neither is going to lose. People are too comfortable. They have too much to lose to join a fight like that. Its delusional to think otherwise.
So you won’t even lift a finger to take a chance of saving Palestinians. You’ll just sit on your couch and let them die.
As you said, you can defeat the US regardless of who wins, but if Harris wins Palestinians will have more options to take refuge.
Not voting won’t stop the genocide. Voting might. Simple as that.
There is hope for the Palestinians who would be given asylum under Harris, but apparently your ego is more important to you than they are.
In this scenario there is no third option where nobody dies. Either half your family dies or they all die. Sometimes all the power you have is saving who you can.
By all means, resist whoever is elected. Harris would cause fewer problems to fight over. By letting Trump win, you’re just making it harder on everyone.
Then judge by actions, not words. Since you care so much about Palestinians, how about voting for a candidate that is part of an administration that allows them to seek asylum in the US like Harris. Meanwhile Trump’s whole thing is expelling immigrants and he initiated a Muslim ban the last time he was in office. Surely saving some Palestinians vs saving none is worth a vote?
No white people maybe.
The lesson is also not to ignore a message of obvious danger because the messenger is flawed.
If you remember that parable, the sky actually did fall that last time.
Also, for the 1.2 million Americans who died from Covid, the sky did fall last time.
The first cyanide pill didn’t kill me, so the second won’t either…
You don’t need 5D chess to know that Trump would be worse. We have already seen it. Only last time he had sane people limiting his destruction. Now the lunatics are running the asylum.
And it will be worse if Trump becomes president. You can help stop that by voting. If you don’t vote, you aren’t resisting this coming to pass.
Nobody with a vote is irrelevant. It is simply too big a risk to let Trump win again. We need every last vote. We need all the leftists, communists, anarchists, whoever. It isn’t about supporting the system or Harris. It’s about stopping an imminent catastrophe.
I recently got a Kia Niro and it has buttons on the wheel for most of the basic functions of the touch screen. Really handy
