Don't think so either. Seems the US State is dedicated to genocide and it is disrespectful to pretend otherwise.

The best chance now, in my opinion, is to vote what is by far the lesser evil and than get active to either improve the parties or create a voting system that allows more than two to have realistic chances

In their moral justification, the argument of the lesser evil has played a prominent role. If you are confronted with two evils, the argument runs, it is your duty to opt for the lesser one, whereas it is irresponsible to refuse to choose altogether. Its weakness has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget quickly that they chose evil.

Unless you're organizing a revolution before November, you better vote against the fascists.

I will not vote for candidates sending arms and aid to genocidal apartheid ethnostates. if the PSL is on the ballot in my state I will vote for them, otherwise it'll probably be Stein 👍
