    You seem to misunderstand. I am not saying trump or Harris (not Biden) is a false dichotomy. I am saying, voting for Harris and fighting the system is a false dichotomy. Regardless of whether or not Harris is part of the system, you can vote Harris and protest the system.

    I did think about what they said. They affectively say, I am willing to risk trump in a seemingly close election between trump and Harris because both are supportive of Israel and therefore they want to vote for a 3rd party candidate. So they are saying on a response to a post which is the meme in question, they are willing to risk a man who said that the IDF has to finish up and finish what they started because then he can feel better about his vote.

    I am not sure what quote you mean.

      People are able to think past four years. Contributing to the current system ensures it will continue on.

      You don’t vote against candidates you vote for them. Thats the crux of this problem. We are picking between who’s worst because thats culturally where america is.

      Anyone who votes for their favorite candidate is doing it right. Anyone who votes to hurt another candidate is doing it wrong.

        Please look into how the us election works and tell me again that it is cultural.

        The us system is so broken that splitting the vote is a reality. If you believe that Harris is more your candidate than trump than voting third party makes it more likely than trump wins. That is sad reality. Voting third party is voting against your own best interest.

        I feel bad for Americans but the land of the free doesn’t let you vote who you like but forces you to vote against who you hate.

        Also what quote did you mean? I am still looking for an answer.
