People I know in the US (friends and family) cannot think of anything worse than Trump as President- they are so scared of that, they are happy to vote for Genocide Joe and ‘Most Lethal Weapons/army Harris’ continuing genocide of the Palestinians preferable to a Trump presidency 🙄

Many pundits argue the Democrats are the worse evil, since they are able to get away with more once in power than the Republicans.

It doesn't really matter much which party takes power - the American people remain screwed either way.

I certainly feel a sense of powerlessness in my life right now. It is true, there are forces in life that really are beyond one's control. Getting older for example ... Or a nuclear war - perhaps another.

It appears Trump is willing to sell out Gaza and Wrst Bank land to Israeli occupation. Also he just stated that Israel should attack their nuke plant. Fortunately Putin has warned Israel to not even think about it. I am hoping that Trump is just trolling for dollars making these statements.

Yes! If all the disaffected with D/R voted for Jill Stein, it wound create momentum (that 5%) to move beyond the corrupted two-party system. Of course, that should have happened years ago, but perhaps the growing numbers of frustrated people means the time is ripe to build a viable "None of the Above" party BETWEEN election years.

Hi Lisa

Know what? If this genocide were occurring under Trump, the Dems would be screaming their heads off.

It all about party loyalty.
