If both parties are the same on Israel, then look for other differences to vote for.

Eh, that's not exactly how that works. There are single issue voters. If neither side appeals to them they will likely either not vote or seek a third party candidate. That is why the Green party had any sort of relevance until the Dems started really taking climate issues more seriously with things like "the green new deal".

That is exactly how your system works. It's a 2 party system in practice. So you might as well work with what you got. It definitely needs an overhaul though. I'm glad all votes matter where I am from.

That's not at all what I said. There are people who are strictly single issue because that one issue matters more to them than anything else. Telling them to look at other issues doesn't solve their problem. They're more likely to look at other candidates.
