It’s wild the number of posts I come across where people act like voting for or supporting Harris and Walz in the election is tantamount to implicitly supporting genocide. You know what actually helps genocide? Doing nothing while pretending you have the moral high ground. America is deeply tied to Israel and there will be no candidate who is as critical of their actions as we want them to be. We as private citizens do not have the power to make the USA suddenly cease all activity with Israel and demand an uncompromising ceasefire deal. Instead, we have to get our hands dirty and decide what path forward will mitigate as much harm as possible. You have one presidential candidate saying Israel needs to finish the job and another saying that we can’t ignore the tragedies in Gaza while vocally supporting a temporary ceasefire. These are your two picks. Thinking any third party candidate has a shot when none have any wide-reaching name recognition less than 100 days before the election is a fever dream.

The question then becomes, are you willing to say you voted “correctly” by voting for someone who has no shot of winning but is most closely aligned to you? Or are you going to vote for who will do the least harm? The idea that voting for a president involves liking them is a fairy tale. The establishment will always be the enemy of civil rights and safety. You’re voting for which opponent you want in office. The writing is on the wall about which candidate will be less of an uphill battle to fight against, and sidestepping the responsibility of making that decision by throwing away a vote isn’t moral or intellectually groundbreaking - it’s cowardly.

Basically, this. Harris-Walz isn’t the “lesser of two evils.” The ticket represents a lot of values and policies that “progressive” voters support, even as it needs to work on improving its position on a few issues, primarily, Israel-Palestine, which has been an intractable issue for any U.S. president since 1949.

To think that abstaining or casting a quixotic third-party vote is somehow “purer” or “more principled” is a bald self-deception. It just means you have the privilege and power to escape the horrors that a second Trump term would inflict.

20 years ago, I used to have a similar list posted in my office where “sensitive ears” would over-hear my conversations about terrible suppliers who were failing miserably. I adopted Shakespearean speak to make my derogatory comments more colourful and palatable. 😊
