Seriously I’m so confused on this. The USA has a 2 party system. You either vote for Biden or you get Trump. Abstaining from the vote you get Trump. MAGA will have a 100% turnout for their God Emperor.

Trump supports Israel 100%. Again, by not voting for Biden the reality is you’re voting for Trump who is even more supportive of Israel and will also attempt to upend democracy in the west.

You don’t have any options here that support Palestine. The reality of the situation is you either get Biden or Trump and the latter is infinitely worse for the ideal you’re trying to uphold by abstaining. That’s how politics work in the US. You might not like it, it sucks, but unfortunately that’s just the way things work.

    The thing to understand is this:

    Russia has infiltrated and compromised the conservatives.

    Russia and China have infiltrated and compromised the extreme leftists. Aka “tankies”. The goal is not to improve anything. The goal is for people to willingly destroy their own government to reduce the power of The West.

    So the loudest voices are straight up government agents. And that propagates to the less loud influencers who are… just stupid. They know American Imperialism is bad (and it REALLY is) and see someone telling them they can do something. But they don’t know how to critically think about anything so they just parrot it.

    And then you have the other aspect of horse shoe theory. Just like libertarians and fascists think THEY will come out on top, so too do a lot of the tankies. They think that they will be the autocrats who are “getting things done” rather than being under the thumb of the horrible people who take power.
