It is on the DNC to have better policy, but with th democrats thete is actually a chance of better policy. At least there is the Sanders wing of the party pushing for a ceasefire. What I dont think people realize voting for a third party will not only keep the genocide going but also install the violent authoritarian Republican party for life, basically. Good luck getting a Trump government to reverse course on anything, let alone cracking down on whats happening in Gaza.

Republicans are typically even more hawkish and pro Israel, not to mention their mass deportation policies and history of islamaphobic policy (worse under Trump. The guy who wants to ban muslims from enterting the country and wants to deport millions, anyone he deems undesireable.)

Aaron Bushnell isn't voting this year and I dare them to accuse him of helping Trump.
