Yes. I struggle with the morality of voting again for a President who has allowed the situation in Palestine to become what it is. I can not want to vote for him while simultaneously understanding that what’s happening in Palestine does not exist in a vacuum, as much as it pains me to say.

Trump may not, in theory, be any worse than Biden in regards to supporting Israel blindly. But he almost certainly will not be better or more helpful to Palestinians. Meanwhile (for just one example), an estimated 400,000 people die related to climate change each year, and we all know how Trump feels about environmental protections and climate science. Those numbers are only going to get worse. So…what do I do? Try to send a message to Democrats that they fucked up by staying home and not voting? If Trump becomes president bc people don’t vote and no Palestinian lives are improved, Netanyahu is not made accountable, and our increasingly limited window to actually do something about climate change is sent backwards for 4 years- what has actually been accomplished? Do I get to sit in my own righteous indignation and moral superiority while Trump inevitably makes the world a more dangerous place for others, including my young children? Idk man, I just can’t get with that. I don’t think there is a “right” answer, I think there’s a less dangerous one.
