So, I have been giving this a lot of thought and come November I won't be voting for team blue or team red in the upcoming elections, but I will be voting for a candidate I belive in.

I have decided that my vote will go to Claudia de la Cruz because she lines up with my beliefs.

Some might say that I'm throwing away my vote and that this will just let Trump become president since I'm not giving Biden my vote, but honestly he doesn't represent me anyways and why should I vote for a party that doesn't deserve my vote anyway?

I hope Trump goes down in flames all the way to hell where he will have pineapples shoved up his ass while dressed as a French maid, but if the Dems loose in November, it won't be because me or many others just didn't vote for them, it will be because they did not do anything to show us they deserve out vote.

Sure Biden has done a bunch of stuff for the American people, but I just can't look away with the horror of what is happening in Palestine and be ok with him or other dems calling anyone who sympathizes with Palestinians as being pro Hamas or pro terrorism.

Sorry to anyone who isn't in the US and sees this post, I know the US politics are super annoying for you all, but I just wanted to get this off my chest.

TL;DR - I'm not voting for Biden just because Trump bad. I'm voting for someone who represents me.

Biden has nothing to do with that though. This is the US foreign policy on Israel, it doesn't matter who is president, this will continue to be the policy. And Trump would be even more pro Israel (his moving of the US embassy to Jerusalem was one of the biggest geopolitical middlefingers to the Palestinians in decades).

So voting in US poltics based on your views on the Gaza conflict is completly pointless, even borderline stupid.

I’m voting for someone who represents me.

No, you're throwing away your vote and end up being represented by Biden or Trump anyway.
