Voting third party sends the wrong message if you’re not voting Biden because of the genocide. Writing in Uncommitted is the most direct way to send that message.
A third party isn’t going to win anyway, so it just muddys the water to vote for a hack like Cornell West or Kennedy.
I disagree. When people could agree on one third party and that party gets 20% of the popular vote, then it is a direct threat to Democrats power basis. Because then for the next election they could replace the Dems. It is crucial to vote a third party, as it forces the Dems to start caring for the people instead of just their Superpac donors.
Cornell West and Jill Stein are proponents of helping the Palestinians, so I imagine one of them.
All the other, mainstream, candidates are vocally pro-Israel. Trump and RFK are more pro-Israel than Biden.
My ultimate hope is that Biden grows a spine on this topic, and draws some rules of engagement for Israel if they wish to receive further aid; however, they seem to have the US govt by the balls somehow.
Serious question for any leftists here who are voting third party - which candidate do you recommend?
PSL or Green

There isn’t a single non-genocidal candidate. Either they support Israel committing genocide or don’t support Ukraine defending itself from genocide.

Maybe, sure, it is your vote and you’re entitled to use it where you believe it will be most effective.
