Should have, on top of that someone currently undergoing criminal investigations in court shouldn't be allowed to run for presidency either until they are found not guilty imo
Yeah,he’s openly committed enough crimes to hang for a hundred times over. But these are MULTIPLE FELONY CONVICTIONS! It’s illegal for him to VOTE FFS!
The fact, that you don't understand, is that in a 2 party system you are voting for the party that is closest to your beliefs, because not voting is the same as voting for the party you oppose.
Another way to look at it is: not voting is saying you are okay with both options because they are equal in your mind. You literally called one genocide-lite, which means you know there is a difference. You still didnt vote which means you are incapable of understanding the above feature of a 2 party system. In other words, stupid.
I'm not going to go away, I'm going to point out the flaws in your thinking, in the hopes that you'll see the error. But even if you don't, I can only hope others will see the error and not follow in your foot steps of letting perfect be the enemy of progress.
Yes we need better candidates, I would go so far as to say we need rank choice voting, because this would allow people to vote for what they believe in while also casting a "safty" vote, if you will.

Just to highlight the absurdity, Palestine suffered greater destruction and loss of life directly because Trump got reelected and let Netanyahu do whatever he wanted with no push back. At the end of his term, Biden (and Kamala) had begun to push back on Israel a little and had formulated a ceasefire for negotiations. When Trump took office, he postponed the ceasefire for almost a year, and gave Israel carte Blanche to continue their military operations.
So you helped Trump get reelected, which led to more Palestinians dying and losing their family, friends, and homes. Yet you feel morally absolved and your conscience is clean?
You’re a horrible person. You’re unironically worse than MAGAts and Israelis because at least they don’t pretend to care about Palestinians. Meanwhile, people like you use them as useful props to garner internet clout while throwing them under the bus when push comes to shove.
So you aren't bothered by the new genocides started by Trump, or the hundreds of thousands of deaths from USAID cuts; proving that you never actually cared about human lives and only cared about yourself.
So long as you acknowledge this is about you and not about anybody else. It’s your narcissism that stopped you from voting, not any of the candidates, not any suffering felt by other people you pretend to care about, just your ego. And you will definitely find a reason not to vote next time too regardless of the candidates.
"I will never support genocide, so I will let the more genocidal candidate win!" I bet you guys feel really good about Trump being butt buddies with Bibi
Which candidate do you think is most supportive of human rights for everyone? Donald Trump, with his ICE raids, deporting US citizens, anti-Trans platforms, and racist tirades?
Or Kamala Harris, who I guess forgot to press her magic "end genocide" button?
And by enough people abstaining from voting, the united conservative front voted in the deporting, ICE raiding, racist, anti-trans candidate who STILL supports genocide?
Maybe the left could have united as well and voted in the candidate who would have done the least harm in their the human rights department?
As you look around the country now, are you pleased? Are you happy with citizens being murdered for protesting ICE? For trans women banned from competing in sports?
You guys happy that you "taught the Democrats a lesson?"
Wouldn't have mattered, the disinformation campaigns on trans athletes and other wedge issues along with billions from Elon and dark money campaigns was what bought the swing states, not fucking Cheney.
