Acting like not voting at all would fix anything is a huge part of the problem. Yeah the Democrats not going to do anything, but you know what that means, the Democrats won't do anything. They won't embarass America on the world stage every day, they won't fund the Gestapo to assault minorities and they won't threaten allies with invasion.
Sure the Democrats suck, the whole damn system sucks but it's a whole lot better for a whole lot of people when the Republicans are not in charge.
Yaaay we get decorum and stability at home so we can ignore the Palestinians / Yemenis / Somalis / etc being bombed overseas! Hopefully the bomb will even be dropped by a diverse team under the Dems!
That's a single issue. I agree it's shitty all around. But there are hundreds of issues that are more important. Namely allowing children to be molested, people dying from not having healthcare, and deporting parents and stranding children just to name a few.
It's shitty all around. It's even shittier when it turns into a pissing contest of shittiness.
I'm confused how supporting and engaging in genocide and bombing humans in multiple countries with unique circumstances is both a single issue separate to and less important than doing the same (without bombs) nearer to home.
I guess everyone has a different tolerance for blood on their hands...
Imagine you have a house that is managed by landlords. The landlords have changed ownership and management many times and allowed the plumbing and heating and electricity to become inoperable. Now there are termites.
At some point management put in an HOA and made it so the HOA kicks your neighbors out without any consideration.
We have bigger internal issues. It ain't my blood. All Americans are fully aware we should not be financing anything like that.
The landlords are burning down houses on the other side of town with the renters trapped inside. Then they start doing the same in another neighborhood, then another in the city. When do you start thinking they'll do the same to you regardless of the termites and rot?
Internal issues aren't bigger. They're more personally dangerous. You're simply saying human life near you is more important than human life elsewhere. If absolutely nothing else, paying taxes makes it blood on Americans hands.
Given that the US is engaging in the wars it's clear that not all Americans are fully aware. I mean there are still a ton of conservatives who are pro-Zionism.
That said i know the left is growing and stronger every day. I know there's people trying to fix things. The people I've known who are most effective never considered the border when valuing the state's actions.
