    Sorry, that was flippant. Let me expound a little.

    I’m a first past the post voting system, like ours, majority wins. So when you don’t vote, or you vote for a candidate that can win like a third party, you’re reducing the amount each real candidate needs to win by half a vote.

    So you actually voted for TWO genocide supporting candidates. You supported them both. And in doing so, you fucked your neighbors. Idiot.

        My point is that you did.

        Hate the system all you like. A vote isn’t support of a candidate. It’s a hit to their opposition. You hit no one. You supported two genocidal candidates.

        The only way to avoid that is to leave this society. Until then, you’re part of it.

            You care more about perceived moral correctness for yourself than actually helping Palestinians.

            More children died because of your inability to work with what we have. Congratulations, murderer.

            Ad hominem. Explain to me how, in a first pasr the post system with only two viable candidates, your lack of a vote helped Palestinians.

            Show me the line of logic. I’m happy to change my mind.

            But as I understand it, having looked at the math, failing to vote does nothing but support both candidates by reducing the total number of votes they both need. You gave half your vote to each one of the candidates.

        I’m what world did I say it was a good thing? You can hate something and still accept that you’re trapped it in.

        I can’t abide you people who just roll over and do nothing in the face of difficulty.
