    There’s a third alternative for those who won’t vote for Biden, but don’t support Republicans. Primary. Essentially, picking democratic candidates that aren’t endorsed by AIPAC on the downballot. We do have people like AOC, and Sanders whom that are against Israel, and Hamas.

    That’s more reasonable than voting against Democrats.

    As far as consequences goes, Israel has been facing the prospect of decreased international support, but that will take a decade at best for it to be significant. Gen Z and Millennials don’t really have good feelings toward Israel after their actions within war, and Israelis know it. It’s on Israel to change policy along with a trial toward settlers and people that supports Netanyahu, and if they want them back, that’s the only way to do it, otherwise, I don’t see Israel having the longevity to avoid that.

      I went independent already.

      The democrats are supporting too many conservative views for me.

      The republicans are too far right.

      The commies are too far left.

      Although typing this out just now made non-binary people finally click in my head.

        Questions.

        Which democrats are conservative? Is Bernie/AOC a conservative? Are they a commie? There’s a portion of the democratic party that aren’t centrists.

        Republicans are definitely too far-right.

            He’s a Independent that caucus with the Democratic Party. But, my point is that there’s two wings of the Democratic Party. It’s the Bernie wing of the Democratic Party that is to be supported mainly. That wing won’t be a relevant party if it was a third party, the GOP needs to die before that can happen.

              If the party is shoving us to the side and only paying lip service to us and carting us out when it is time to vote, then are we really part of the party at all?

                The thing is even intraparty feuds are resolved via compromises to minority wing. So yes, AOC wing of the Democratic Party do have some level of influences toward the Democratic Party.

        Primary election is not the same thing as the general election. And the downballot is what I’m talking about, which is why Cornel West or Jill Stein isn’t even part of it. So, people who can’t be willing to vote for Biden, can vote for people in the downballot.
