    Or… take a longer view and follow the strategy I outlined.

    The Palestine/Israel situation didn’t just start this election cycle; voting third party isn’t going to fix it, or even help the victims at all — in fact, it will likely harm them. But strategically voting over the next four cycles or so could go a long way to improving not just that issue, but many others.

      Yeah that’s cute, you started out correct. Then you used moon logic to assume no one ever did that or thought of doing that.

      You people have been advocating that since the parties hyper normalized, guess what, it hasnt worked out.

      So no. That’s not a thing that works. Strategic voting, lesser evil ism has resulted in both political parties openly advocating for genocide. It has not worked. It did not work in the Weimar Republic, it did not work in England in response to Hitler, its not worked so far here, and it’s not going to.

        I’d be interested to know what sort of “you people” you think I am.

        The problem is, the only thing worse than tweaking a strategy that’s never worked in the past and expecting change is choosing a new strategy that logically will never work, by design, and expecting change.

        Look at history and tell me what was needed to stop the governments of the most powerful nations from supporting genocide overseas.

      strategically voting over the next four cycles

      The wild thing is that you are being serious, unless we return strategically to its Greek root and create a people’s army to solve the problem
