    Do you think the Palestinians in Gaza believe in applying lesser-evilism to the US election? I think it’s the opposite, it’s a very easy view to hold when the people dying under the lesser evil are kept safely out of sight and out of mind. It’s much harder to cradle a dead child in your arms and say, “Well, it could be worse.”

      I imagine they’d like fewer bombs as opposed to more bombs, yes.

      The best would be zero bombs but nothing you are doing is getting them anywhere closer to that.

      But you are, through your choice, helping there be more bombs and more dead.

        Gazans do not support the people whose bombs are dropping on them right now, no.

        I am not helping there be more bombs and more dead.

          Sitting on your hands isn’t as effective as you think it is bud. Hate to break it to you.

          But for funzies…. How about you go ahead and find a moment in history where doing nothing at all created the best outcome for anyone or anything.

          EDIT: two days later and nothing as I expected.
