For Harris supporters who oppose 3rd parties: 2 questions.

(1) How will you get the US to stop funding Israeli genocide?;

and,

(2), what are the chances of your proposal(s) succeeding before, say, 2075?

    And now move to the next election, 1860, in which the third party once again disappeared. No term-over-term progress made. I see no evidence any current minor parties are faring any better.

    Huh?

    That party’s candidate—i.e. that third party’s candidate—i.e. the Republican party’s candidate—Abe Lincoln—won the US Presidency. (and with less than 40% of the popular vote)

    ​

    We have a steadily increasing number of Democratic senators and representatives who vocally oppose the genocide in Gaza.

    Do they support cutting funding to Israel?

    ​

    The anti-genocide position correlates to politician’s generation, which is only going to improve further as Biden and Pelosi’s generation gets out and there are more of AOC’s generation and younger. Installing anti-genocidal local officials like sheriffs, judges, city councils, and university regents means peaceful protests wouldn’t be shut down as frequently.

    They can join the protesters for all Israel cares: what matters far more to Israel is that Congress and the White House continues to send money—as Biden has and as I think Harris will continue to—though I readily concede that there is a significant possibility that she will either not, or at least contribute far less.

    My down ballot will not be a straight Democratic ticket. But I’m sure as hell not giving Trump even a miniscule edge by throwing my vote for US president away on RFK Jr. or Stein.

    Are you in a swing state, or are you in California, Maryland, Massachusetts, DC, Vermont, West Virginia, or Wyoming?
