If I actually loved someone and understood that I was going to throw them into
A) a horrendous situation, or
B) a mildly less horrendous situation with a very real yet depressingly tiny chance of ending it,
and understood that if I tried choosing a third option I would end up with A…I would choose B.
In the better situation, the understanding is not there, and this video is probably what’s missing: https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo
If they have truly internalized that and still insist on defaulting to A by means of refusing the choice and going third party, then they care more about flipping off Democrats than helping Palestinians, with is real ugly.
It’s very weird that in a story involving a genocide, nerdy arcane voting mechanics are the main character. Not as in “the most important”, but as in “the unassuming hinge on which the nasty stuff turns”.
