Aaron Bushnell burned himself alive for a free Palestine. Voters should do the work of pairing up from across the political spectrum to halt the genocidal duopoly.
Friends don't let friends vote Dumbocrap. Zog Boy, (Jim Zogby, Arab-American Institute) is a mouthpiece for the Democratic National Committee He will likely be pushing for the last minute substitution of Calif. governor Gavin Newsom for Genocide Joe.
Thanks for your article. but please explain your objection to Dr. Jill Stein."No ideal candidates." I've voted for her before, was glad I did, and I may well do so again.
Here are some other things we can do:
We could write in Aaron Buwhnell as a protest vote.
We could figure out how to get our US laws enforced, the ones that incorporated the Genocide Convention into US domestic law, 18 U.S. Code § 1091. I am sure there is a way for this to be enforced. Perhaps a Writ of Mandamus? Perhaps other jurisdictions? Perhaps citizens' arrests? We need not despair of a lack of means and opportunities. We are only lacking in the ability to come together for strategizing on ways to bring this genocide and war mongering to an end.
We could challenge, in federal court, the forced, unconditional support for a religious state as being a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
Protests once had a vow of "No business as usual." Perhaps it's time to return to that idea, by raising the costs to weapons manufacturers. I am reminded that the Berrigan borthers created the Plowshares Movement and took direct action "They trespassed onto the General Electric Re-entry Division[6] in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, where Mark 12A reentry vehicles[7] for the Minuteman III missile were made. They hammered on two reentry vehicles, poured blood on documents, and offered prayers for peace." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plowshares_movement
I am sure there are multiple ideas out there just waiting to burst forth if we can encourage more and more novel and impactful thinking.
I will write a more analytical piece. Stein has little pull for people on the right. Esp since she's clueless on issues like covid origins. Best candidate now might be Coleen Rowley.
I have a slightly different take on this electoral dilemma. As long as both parties are corrupted by their donor base, dividing votes between these same two parties isn't going to have the desired impact. I believe that - within the system - the only way to have an electoral impact is an independent candidate. Maybe the Greens will suffice. I suggest reading their formal statement on Palestine and judge for yourselves. Or you pick someone who you think will do a better job on the issues that are your highest priority. Perhaps Rashida Tlaib can be convinced to go independent especially after she was censured by her own party for using the same phrase as Netanyahu (context is everything). Finally, I remember in 1992 when Ross Perot split the Republican vote so significantly that it likely cost Bush Sr the election in his race against Clinton. To a much lesser extent, the Dems claim that in 2000, the younger Bush barely edged Gore because Ralph Nader split their vote.

Thanks for this. What about Jill Stein? If there is a candidate that can be promoted there is a higher probability of getting more votes.

Is Coleen running? She would be great. She is a friend - we need to promote her and raise consciousness -
