    A lot of others online said, “since Kamala will support Israel, I’m not voting at all.” Lack of democratic action.

      There is no such thing as Democracy in the US system, and voting Kamala without agreeing with her would have nothing to do with “democratic action” - in that duopolist power structure at most voting Kamala as the “lesser evil” was short/mid-term risk reduction: understandable, but let’s not call such a “you have no actual choice” action “democratic”.

        No argument here. Just wanted to give people outside the US a little more perspective. The lack of democratic action started with the Democratic party. They didn’t even pretend to have a primary election. Ofc, most people I know won’t participate in those anyway.
