“US President Donald Trump on Wednesday delivered an incoherent primetime address in which he threatened to bomb Iran “back to the Stone Ages” while also claiming negotiations to end the conflict were ongoing, remarks that provided no clear indication of when or how the illegal war of choice would end.
“Trump’s speech marked his first major address on the war since the US, in partnership with Israel, started bombing Iran more than a month ago, without congressional approval and in violation of international law. A day after declaring that Iran “doesn’t have to make a deal” to end the war, Trump said during his Wednesday speech, “If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard and probably simultaneously”—a grave war crime.
“Collin Rees, US campaign manager at the advocacy group Oil Change International, said in a statement that “Trump’s rambling lies can’t conceal how his reckless, illegal war of aggression is sending energy prices for working families through the roof.””
Admitting you have a problem is the first step
And what if I have a problem, and willfully and intentionally do the wrong thing by voting third party anyway?
Are you voting in the primaries?
Absolutely. I use the Democratic ballot.
And if the candidate(s?) you vote for won the primaries, you’d be willing to support them in the general election as well?
Yep. Pretty much. It would be one of those rare times I vote for one of the Big Two.
That’s fair enough, then. I may not share your opinion, but it seems reasonable enough and I respect it.
What’s even the point of asking that?
Answers will be in the 2 camps of “vote anyways” or “you shouldn’t be able to”. Seeing as one of these is a blatant bad answer, anyone you ask with a brain will just say some variant of “you do you”.
So again I ask, why even ask your question?
It’s never a waste to see what the Blue No Matter Who people say to try and get me to vote for their guy.
It’s your prerogative to vote against all rationality and your own interests. Just know that you’re doing absolutely nothing of value.
I find it valuable, therefore it is. QED
If you don’t find it of value to contribute to preventing Trump, fascism, war, mass deportation, destruction of science and healthcare and justice, further wealth concentration, etc. well, your choices are rational from your perspective, I guess. Wrong, and misguided, but rational.
Excellent. Thanks.
