    You can, so long as you acknowledge that them taking an anti Israel stance would most likely also lead to Trump due to other democrats feeling alienated, and thus, a Trump administration that will do even more genocide.

    The sad truth just seems to be that not even among democrats that position is a majority. No matter what you voted for, it would most likely not have changed that. The US needs like 20-40 years of progressive change before the majority is ready to take on such positions, and the way to ensure that timeline becomes longer and longer, is by making choices that undercut even small steps there.

    Don’t vote for the lesser evil, vote for the path towards that eventual US where your opinion is held by the majority.

      unless voting for the lesser evil is that path that leads to that point. Because otherwise you’re stuck voting third party, which is a meme. Or not voting at all, and look where that has gotten us thus far lmao.

      Been trying that for decades and it hasn’t worked.

      The only reason I started voting for the Dems in the first place was because they were anti-war, now they are pro-war so things have moved backwards
