@stg_kn @Moss @palestine What you say: "I'm going to vote third-party / Trump / nobody because I don't like Harris' foreign policy"

What I hear: "I'm happy to put your sister, nephew and brother-in-law in danger because I don't like Harris' foreign policy".

Want third-party to be a viable option? FIRST fix your system, THEN vote third-party.

@RememberUsAlways Listen up and listen good, hasbara troll: You do NOT get to wave away genocide just because it's a US foreign policy failing. Enjoy your (rare) block.

@Daveosaurus @stg_kn @Moss @palestine Can you explain how voting for Harris will help fix the system?

Because I'm seeing her as having a lot to lose by changing the system.

@grumble209 @stg_kn @Moss @palestine Learn from history. 40 years ago the New Zealand system was patently broken in much the same way. People agitated for electoral reform and wouldn't shut up until it was achieved.

@Daveosaurus @stg_kn @Moss @palestine But how did New Zealand get the money out of politics? By voting for candidates who were funded by huge donors? Or by not voting for candidates who were funded by huge donors?

What you need to recognize is that #Genz and #Millennials have been so screwed over by #Boomers that they have taken another path.

They vote for you if your values align with theirs, particularly on critical issues. #Harris largely does.

#Genocide is a deal breaker. She refuses to denounce genocide. So they may simply NOT vote.

You may think that is stupid. It isn't. They do NOT accept the cold war game theory of forced choice.

She must earn their vote

Also recognize that if #Harris refuses to come around, and loses, that #Genz and #Millennials will feel no responsibility for her loss. That will belong entirely to her.

If that causes you grief, you have a way to fix it. Convince Harris that supporting #genocide is an unacceptable, immoral, unethical and illegal thing to do, and CHANGE her stance on the Israeli genocide.

That is on you.
