John Mearsheimer: “I won’t vote for the Democrats because of the genocide in Gaza. I think the Biden administration is complicit in the genocide and genocide is a red line for me.”

    It’s just funny how there are 3 ways you can vote on Trump. 1. Not voting. 2. Voting third party/optional. 3. Actually voting for him. But there is only one way you can not vote on him, and that’s voting Harris. The Democrats have really set this up to make it a boom or bust strategy, and the Republicans reap all the benefits.

      I’m not familiar with the history, how did Democrats set a system which then lets Republicans reap the benefits? Sounds counterproductive.

      The problem is that the conservatives are united under one party and one leader.

      Meanwhile, the more liberal people are split between several candidates/parties.

      Conservatives need to be broken up. Maybe this election, if Harris wins, the Republicans might actually do that to cut themselves off from the trumpets for better chances in the future.
