    No, they just probably won’t vote at all or vote for a third party who won’t win.

    Not that it’s a good idea, but that’s what will probably happen. And tbf this is more of a problem resulting from the two party system, so most people don’t like to follow the logic of vote for the lesser evil when there are many other countries that don’t force you into such a situation on literally every political decision.

      Which is fair. Neither side really has your back on anything.

      Is it better to vote for something you want and not get it, or something you don’t want and get it.

      The Founding Fathers envisioned it this way.

      I mean a lot would vote for trump for his conservatives views, because these people only care about if you’re willing to hurt the “right” people, even if you hurt the “wrong” people as well.

      The unfortunate reality is that Biden is their option that’s most likely to cause the least further harm.

      • If they vote for Trump, that son of a bitch would be ordering our military to also bomb them, and telling Israel to go further.

      • Third parties don’t even take themselves seriously.

      • Not voting at all is still a decision, one that may result in Trump.

      I’m not thrilled with Biden’s response here either, and I wish he would tell Israel they’ve gone way too far. But there’s really no other choice. The position to take here is clear, but unenviable.
