By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan Demands for an immediate ceasefire are growing, and, despite promises of indefinite war from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the United States, as Israel’s principal weapons provider, could shut down the bombardment with one phone call.

      Or neither.

      We could elect a third party.

      Biden just celebrated that write in ballots in New Hampshire are effective.

      Why cant we write in someone?.. Bernie Sanders perhaps?

      He is thoroughly qualified and supports no genocides, foreign or domestic.

      Democrats might get to rig their primaries, but there is nothing that says we cant override them and elect a different Democrat at general.

      Or we could find someone completely new with no affiliation to the 2 political parties that endorse genocide and war.

        Go for it! Just remember, Republicans won’t do that, and you have to do it for a majority of the electoral college, otherwise you just split the vote and you lose. But also writing in a name does not mean that vote will count. Many states require that write-in candidates file paperwork before the election. Otherwise, the state will not count the person’s votes.

          Well, Biden is currently projected to lose the electoral college by margins greater than 40%:60% because he is a Democrat genocidal maniac, and a do nothing on all other fronts, so might as well go for it.

          If the DNC insists on ignoring constituents and losing, might as well create the strongest case study for how a third party could win to date.

          Someone needs to step up though, and the 2 party system has done a wonderfully corrupt job of killing democracy, so idk… personally dont think anyone can do anything to stop the extinction of mankind within the next 300 years, which is pretty fucking bleak.
