    It’s not a trolley problem if you aren’t given a choice to pull the lever. There is no viable candidate who fights against super pacs.

      and there never will be if we keep voting for them if on face of genocide and current inflation.

      they compromised bernie in 2016 then blocked warren as vp in 2020. bernie actually showed its more than viable to have a candidate not beholden to superpacs. there has to be a minimum qualification for an acceptable policy and current sham is way below it.

        Wrong. The only viable way to fix this is to vote for Kamala today to avoid further genocide, and then for candidates who support RCV in all the downballot elections. That builds support for a proper election format at a local, then state, then national level.

          why would she shy away from any genocide when she gets the votes after officially confirming that she is going to continue it. that’s some wishful thinking.

            She’s getting votes for being the only candidate in this election who is not a fascist. Trump would give Netanyahu enough armaments to obliterate Gaza. If you want better candidates, change our election system. If Trump wins, you’ll never vote again.
