Your choice doesn't affect Gaza. That power lies with Israel and their next election.

For the rest of the world though, it will.

    Like saltyiceteamaker said, US won't do jackshit about what Netanyahu doing regardless on who you vote, and even if they don't give them money, highly unlikely Netanyahu will just stop doing what he's doing.

    However, for other issue within US or the one affect the world, it have different impact between this two. US is one of the biggest CO2 emission country, and also the world exporter of methane, for example.

    Are you aware that the only way Israel is waging their war with guns and bombs is because of the US selling them the weapons? I'm sure Israel would still want to commit genocide without them but would find it much harder to do with literal sticks and stones.

    Oh look, someone trying to push Trump on us. Bless your heart, you just think we're all idiots here.

    No, they're not the same. None of us are buying it.

    Why is it so common that people assume if you don't like one candidate that automatically makes you a proponent of the other? Is it not possible for you to conceive that both candidates may be power-hungry human garbage?

    They're centrists, scared centrists, who recognize that political in-fighting can result in a split vote letting the party with less votes take the election. However in addition to being humongous pricks about it (helping the in-fighting), they fail to recognize two very obvious facts:

    1. Progressives don't have a candidate. In any party. You can't split the vote if there's no other option to split the vote with.
    2. The popular vote doesn't matter. Hasn't mattered since the Republican party stole the election in 2000 (if it ever mattered in the first place). There's somewhere between 3-6 states where the popular vote, if you trust it to be recorded and reported accurately, can swing the election one way or another. In the other 44 states, the popular vote does. Not. Matter.

    There is a lot of truth in this picture. 2 sides, both shit for humanity. It's a big problem really.. Divide and conquer tactic.. proven tactic.

    Ever wonder why these are our only two choice?

    Why 3rd parties can't run without spoiling the election?

    Consider watching a video on First Past the Post voting to find out why the spoilere effect exists.
