I understand and sympathize with their disappointment, but voting Republican would be even worse. The issue at hand is that both parties are pro-Israel.

It would be nice if the Democratic party wasn't simply the "less bad" choice for Muslims (and various POC) on some policies.

I think the loudest proPalestine voices are Democratic. That in and of itself offers at least some choice on the matter.

Check my post history. There are people who understand this and are perfectly OK with it. The logic behind it is truly baffling, but there are apparently a number of people willing to cut their own noses off to spite their face, and news reports back that up.

Why people think that Trump would be any better for the people of Gaza is beyond me, but people who think that way exist.
