    Honestly, I’m Absolutely convinced the rhetoric surrounding Palestine in this election is 100% astroturfing by any of the various groups that are incentivized to undermine not just a democratic candidate, but democracy as a whole

    It’s just such a reductionist rhetorical standpoint that offers zero actual solutions to anything at all.

      Completely with you here. “I know Trump would be worse for the issue I purport to be the most important to me, but I can’t bring myself to vote for the better of two realistic options because she’s not perfect, so I’m voting for Jill Stein.” It’s completely nonsensical, and honestly, I have zero respect for anyone who would actually knowingly make that decision.
