Having lived in the USA for 40 years I’ve gotta say I never met one person (except my husband) with whom I could discuss the Palestinian cause, the need for a universal health care system, the evil of the US foreign policy, etc. Eyes would glaze over or I’d be attacked. Americans believe ardently in their exceptionalism, even the so-called progressives.
In my former community (a bastion of liberalism) there is a deathly silence about what Israel is doing to the Palestinians.
Pure fantasy to think and believe that you and a handful of friends you’ve met, are all that is left who morally oppose what is going on in the US and what is now global. You’re not wrong in much of what you say but I know hundreds who are in opposition to what is going on and in no way other than that which is forced, willingly support the Empire of Lies. You are not the remnant of a lost civilization. There are many many more of you.

Why would people who are opposed to censorship, the spy/surveillance state, global wars etc., vote for either candidate?
