Yes, I don't want to vote for a comic book buffoon version of a narcissistic business villain.... But I cannot vote for someone supporting a active genocide.

I'm morally compelled to vote for the lessor evil.

The winner takes all voting system is creating these false choices, and captures the population into a two party voting system. Ranked choice, instant run-off, etc are all better systems so we could actually vote on issues.

I'm really worried that the Democratic leadership is shooting itself in the foot.

A significant portion of the voter base that the Democratic party is counting on has serious and legitimate problems with the policy decisions of the administration. They're making their thoughts known through all the channels they should theoretically be using; peaceful protest, petitions, letters etc.

Rather than addressing and validating any of these concerns the overwhelming response has been to ridicule those voters. People don't respond well to, "Fuck you. Do what you're told." but that's all they're getting. Whenever people point this out the typical response is more of the same. All variations of, "It doesn't really matter what you think or what you expect your elected official to do. Just shut up and vote for Biden."

So... 4 out of 5 Wisconsin Democrats are genocide supporters.

Trump is going to fuck shit up so much worse than Biden over there. Like, orders of magnitude. They're deluding themselves if they think any different.

I'm not voting FOR trump, i'm voting AGAINST GENOCIDE.

Maybe the new guy will do a genocide too, but at least I'm voting out the active genocider.

"the other guy will genocide them even harder than our guy is" really isn't the selling point you think it is

This is a primary. Also, people are allowed to vote their conscience. Maybe if more did we wouldn’t have a choice between a Regan Republican and a madman this year.

Voting for the lesser evil is still voting for evil.

a bunch of israelis just said they think trump has a "more left" stance than biden on the war.

idk if its true.

I don't even know what Trump's stance is on the current conflict. I haven't heard him say anything about it.

He loves israel the most but also is bored and can tell no one likes what israel is doing so he told them to wrap it up.

Democrats are so one-note. Level any criticism at them, and they just say "Trump".

Translation: 4/5 won't.

They're undercounting / underestimating by a fair margin.
