I say organize, vote uncommitted in the primary if you can, and do what you have to in November. But yes, agreed.

I hear you. I think many people who aren't intending to vote do understand the situation but just have a different moral take. Like, sure, driving the bus into a brick wall may save some lives compared to driving it off a cliff. But for the people that'd die in the wall option, they're still dead either way. Shouldn't we at least try to stop the bus from crashing at all, as unrealistic as that may be?

Voting metaphors that don't have people dying in either option are disingenuous imo. Like I understand the concept of harm reduction to a point, but let's not pretend one of the options is something as innocent as "getting ice cream".

Who do you include in the rest of the world? Based on your other comment, I get the impression you understand Zionism to mean something very different from what it's historically been.

Hi, I'm an anti-zionist Jew and absolutely fuck Israel! Zionism is bad for everyone, including us. It conflates our religion with a genocidal ideology that rightfully terrifies the rest of the world, which then makes the world think they hate Jews (because they keep hearing "Judaism=Israel"). Despite what Zionist Jews may say, ending Zionism will help us, not hurt us.
