I get it, but the tariffs Team Trump wants to induce will leave my children and I with no roof over our heads. Like, I dont know if you get that, but I will be largely effected at home by who is ruling. I dont have the luxury of constantly micromanaging overseas when I'm struggling right here at home. It matters. And it doesnt matter who is in charge, I was there when Obama dropped all those bombs. The US is imperialist, this is what the evil shits do.

My only problem is the argument that a vote for Harris is helping Palestinians.

As for your personal situation, I do empathize but there's a lot of people losing their roofs and families to Biden right now. Unless Trump promised to F35 bomb your house I can't prioritize you over them. But your vote is your own.

Well of course. They never get punished for it so there's no reason for them to stop. This election it is just getting too blatant.

I have a problem with that too. It feels like nobody on this side of the globe with any credible form of power cares. Its like they're all salivating at the thought and its disgusting and why the fuck does this have to be the stakes in such a non-choice election. In fact, I have never gotten to choose. I've only gotten to vote against these fascist fucks. I'm tired. I want new everything, too. I want at least one motherfucker in our government besides fucking Bernie to say how fucked up Israel is. But that never happens. They live in a world of PAC money and favors, and we live at the End of Days.

The Greens are offering virtually everything progressives demand.
