CNN's Dana Bash barely suppressed a stunned laugh as she pressed Ramaswamy to explain his claim that the Trump-incited Jan. 6 riot was actually "an inside job."
That’s a pretty juvenile take. Not voting doesn’t mean you disapprove of both candidates. It means they are both equal (equally good or equally bad) to you.
And if you think the two are equal because of one thing that they agree on (as bad as that thing is), you mean all the things they disagree on don’t matter (like peaceful transfer of power, lgbtq rights, fascism). And even on that one thing, the two have very different approaches, and one is far more inclined to change position in the future. But apparently that wouldn’t matter either, because they are both equal right now, because they both support Israel right now.
I think most people value aesthetics over pragmatism. If a car ran a red light most people would, in a philosophical sense, say, “Well they’re in the wrong.” and step out in front of the car. It’s better to be right than to do good because one of those things makes us feel good, while the other is just work.
He is still sending weapons to Israel. Run a non genocidal candidate if you want my help.
Otherwise you will get nothing from me.
Oh yes. Trump will certainly not continue that.
At some point you just have to accept that this will happen and you can’t change it. From that point, pick your best future.
I pick the one that will let me sleep best at night, and knowing I didn’t support genocide will let me sleep great.
But you did. You paid taxes and live in this country. Your lack of voting shows apathy, it doesn’t absolve complicity.
If you really want to change it, you participate more, not less.

So they both support a genocide, seems like a grand reason to vote for neither.
You don’t get a pity vote for not being as bad as the other guy it just means I won’t vote for him either.
Congratulations on handing the W to Trump, Russia and Iran.
I’m not handing anyone shit, I’m just not going to vote for genocide.

Not sucking up to Israel and Jewish special interests is an even better way to lose an election.
Ok, better to lose than to directly and unequivocally support genocide.
Did not everyone say it would be better for a Russian soldier to go to jail or just kill themselves instead of fighting Ukrainians?
Why should they kill themselves and the rest of us just support a different kind of genocide?
Is Palestinian skin a little too brown for our support?
What a joke.
I know! I can’t believe that some people are cool with voting for genocide.
Hmm, let’s see where that gets you.
I will sleep great knowing that I in no way supported genocide.
But you do you
We buy weapons FROM Israel. Like it or not, Israel is a military asset.
Ok, that changes nothing about what I said.
