And if she doesn't, you'll use your vote to make things worse? As I say, doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

According you Democrats people voting for Stein were already supporting Trump. Harris can earn votes by committing to stop funding the Israeli war machine committing genocide. No one owes her votes though, but it does appear she owes AIPAC a lot.

Like I've said, it's not a matter of owing her votes. I just think that you shouldn't use your vote in a way that will make things worse.

I've not ascribed any views to you beyind what you've said here, and I'd appreciate if you didn't do the same to me. I don't think you support Trump, but it is a fact that your current plans make a Trump win more likely. It's precisely because I don't believe you support Trump (and in particular what he'd do in Gaza) that I think you should reconsider that plan.

Anyway, we're going round in circles here. Unless you can show to me that voting for Stein will have something other than a wholly negative outcome for Gaza or anywhere else, I'm not going to change my view that it's a mistake for you to do so.
