oh god another game theory twat. lord please spare me another childish lecture. 😮‍💨

1. you’re assuming my goal is influence who wins. (its not)
2. you’re assuming the only outcome in play is who wins. (its not)
3. yes I’ve studied game theory and that professor was a dunce too.

You don’t even know the game. Which you may wish to know is an important aspect of game theory. so spare me the trivialities of your intellect.

Hey its cool you support genocides! no need for the extra steps.

Great, then vote for harris’ in full knowledge that your condoning a genocide. Justify it however your wish to yourself. I dont mind, its your vote. my only goal here is to get people to stop acting like a vote 3rd party is the end of the world and hopefully change a few minds and give them a way to vote for protecting gaza without risking a trump presidency.

Yup with both parties supporting it. Such a grand time.

Anyways, get fucked

Daily. 🤗 Dont worry harris will still win here. But maybe adding my vote to the pile here has convinced my local reps to consider withholding israel support in the future . Hopefully you can do the same.

But its likely you’re Happy harris is bombing innocents.

Feel free to read my post history many explanations on how to vote intelligently without risking a trump presidency. You’ll probably be surprised its not ‘dont vote harris’. Its ‘under these conditions your best option is likely…’ which both undermines harris platform with other Democrats, supports ending a genocide, and lets you stop spouting nonsense everywhere.

Viable isnt the goal. The goal is to withholding support for genocidal candidate keep up.

You can absolutely do that by supporting 3rd party candidates.

1. If you live in a 💜 state lie to your candidates and exit polls, say you do not support harris support instead and cite genocide for the reason. But shes likely your best bet so no hurt feelings either way you vote. But remember its Harris’ responsibility to earn your vote through policies and positions. She doesnt have many this year besides not being a fascist and that sadly probably enough in those states honestly. To the Arab community her treatment of your community has been horrible and disgusting and I’m sorry I’ll continue fighting for your family as i can.
2. If you live in a 💙 state, and most of us do, there are 16, consider with holding your vote for harris. Let your critters know what you’re doing and why.
3. If you live in a💩state im sorry 😔. I have no advice for you except be as active as you can local elections.

Lol you’d fail fourth grade. First off there is no evidence third party people would vote for any other candidate if the 3rd party wasnt on the ballot.

Secondly did you know that in ~40/50 states your harris vote is very unlikely change the outcome, and in 16 of those harris is assured the win? If you’re in those 16 think long and hard if genocide is the line you’re willing to cross.

Fun fact do you know many 3rd party candidates and no voters this year are Republicans?

Second fun fact: did you know that our government has two electable branches? And you can deny votes for one to influence the other? Did you also know that this works locally too?

For example i routinely deny candidates from the Democratic party my vote while voting for other Democratic candidates to increase the likelihood they are replaced or change their positions.

The governor who is prochoice has way more votes than the legislature candidate who wasnt 🤔. Funny how that works. So again anyone reading this:

1. Support rank choice voting in your region.
2. Feel free to vote third party! Its fine in most cases. Just show up and vote.
3. If you’re in a competitive district: voting third party might not be in your interest!
4. Stop repeating the lesser evil nonsense and learn how to leverage your vote for the maximum outcome. Handing your vote out to the lesser evil is why we dont have labor rights or decent health care.
5. The genocide is a real fucking problem and America should not be backing it. If you like my dear friend im responding to here maybe learn a more nuanced view for voting instead of being driven by fear. You’ll get better outcomes both in convincing people to support your candidate and in your stress levels.

I’m going to ensure people know they are other options than voting for genocide. if harris loses to fucking trump as a result, that’s her fault not mine. learn to place blame were it properly belongs: On the person committed to a genocide. I didnt force her down this path. I didnt force you down this path. You and her choose it willingly.

Let me know when you’re willing to stop supporting a genocide and then we can talk.

yawn tired trope. there are other levers to pull for reducing essentially every other harm. its clear you dont understand how to effectively leverage your vote to reduce harm and are supportive of a genocide. congrats i guess?

Let me know when you’re no longer a willing participant in a genocide and then we can talk about harm reduction.

no, I’d ‘go after’ them. not vote, not support, actively fight against. as i am doing now.

you: ‘Excuse me dear these two murders are running for office, I have to let one of them murder our children’ jfc you poor soul.

Any other vote is a vote for trump

This is just factually incorrect. And easily demonstrated using math you should have learned in the 5th grade.

Trump: 5 votes

Harris: 5 votes

Any other vote: 5 votes

If i keep adding votes to ‘any other vote’ the ratio between trump / Harris will not change.

T: 5 H: 5 AOV: 10000

Ratio is still one see? In no way is Harris’ chances of winning impacted by a third party vote.

What you mean to say is ‘Harris having shitty policies that are abhorrent to the voting population causes her to be at risk of losing to a literal fascist.’

By trying to put the blame on other voters because you are willing to overlook genocide says more about you than it does them.

There is only one person who can fix Harris’ platform. Put the blame where it rightfully belongs, on harris.

Dont disagree ive been actively campaigning for rcv etc in my state for years. Thankfully i can do two things at the same time.

Edit: sandbox this not directed at you. Just clarifying.

Last I checked no one has suggested supporting trump instead. Seek help you’ve been seeing things that are not real.

To everyone else show up, vote with your heart. I live in a safe state, i still voted down ballot for the majority of my reps. If you’re in a similar situation please consider doing the same and contacting your reps and letting them know why. Dont let Kamala and the dnc force you into supporting a genocide its not worth it.

If you’re in a swing state do what you need to do to protect your local community in whatever way you can. Yes, including supporting harris if thats what it’ll take, despite shitty of a candidate she is¹. I promise you people like myself are not upset with people supporting kamala. I have no interest in shaming you for voting.

But if you think trying to stop a genocide is unreasonable, well… You’re the problem, and i will happily call you out for your disgusting bullshit.

¹ Kamala has remained uncommited to labor. (No policies for pto,sick leave, healthcare reform, workers rights.

Kamala has remained uncommited to keeping khan the best head of the FTC we’ve seen in my life. See related mentions about labor they’re coupled.

Kamala has done more to harm the muslim community than just supporting a genocide shes actively suppressed them in our own country, if she’s willing to throw one minority group under the bus shes willing to throw others.

Why when i can do it now? The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now.

If kamala loses thats her fault. Not mine. She could have demonstrated support for Palestinians she has decided to snub a minority group at literally every turn.

No one is asking kamala to commit to a course she has no control over. Whether we sell arms to Israel is squarely in the presidents hands. We have laws in the books that cover this exact situation. Kamala needs to ‘follow the law’ as she is often quoted saying.

Now i suggest you go get checked for mental health issues as you clearly think committing a genocide is perfectly acceptable and that people voting against it are the problem. No one has forced Kamala into this position but herself. No one has forced you into your insanity except yourself.

😂 imagine thinking not supporting a genocide is an unreasonable demand. Say the quiet part out loud. Phew.

Seek help child. You certainly need it.

Indeed he will, and so will harris. Biden has slow walked support for Ukraine as well.

I’m sorry Kamala has decided to be a shitty human (its hardly just gaza that has caused my vote to be casted for a 3rd party). But thats the way the cookie crumbled. I can do more to protect people on these shores via other means of direct action. Kamala changing positions on gaza is all i can do for my Palestinian brothers and sisters.

If you think changing a position on genocide is unreasonable, you are the problem. No one is saying dont protect israel, no one is saying they cant defend themselves. Neither situation applies atm. Israel is the aggressor at this point.

Have you ever noticed how everyone goes on and on about the right to defend themselves and then conveniently ignoring that as soon as the threat is neutralized self defense no longer applies?

Israel is the antagonist at this point. They dont have to keep invading new regions. They’ve managed to kill more hostages than they’ve rescued.

They keep killing journalist, doctors, nurses, etc from international organizations.

If you think telling kamala and the Democrats to stop supporting this is unreasonable: You. Are. The. Problem.

Lol no i dont. Id be going after both of them.

Pressure the dnc to stop supporting genocide and maybe you wouldn’t need to beg these people to vote for your candidate. None of these people are abstaining from voting we’re voting for people who have committed to stopping a genocide. If those people lose, thats more an statement about everyone else than us.

Its a shame kamala cant see her way through the forest. She was warned, and loudly. The honey moon period only lasted long enough for her to show her true colors. Funny how that works.

We’ve allowed her to be uncommited to Khan, uncommited to labor, and now people want us to allow her to commit to a genocide. Hard. Fucking. Pass. Anyone seeing this do some hard introspection.

I’ll grant anyone in a swing state has a harder choice but for the rest of us the choice is fairly easy. Show up, vote down ballot, and email your reps and let them know what you did due to the dnc and their own personal support for a genocide and that the next cycle they’re on the chopping block. Then find someone to primary them.

But if you spend your effort begging people to vote for genocidal parties instead of pressuring the party to change. You are the problem. We shouldnt even be having this conversation.
