I love the way you highlighted this and pointed out the power of having our vote show up in one specific container to give a more visible expression of our dissatisfaction.

However, this need existed long before October 7th - and I don't just mean Gaza.

Democracy, as advertised, in the West has been a lie for too long. The false dichotomy of a two party system has created an illusion of freedom for the American people for too long.

Yes; vote 3rd party, but do it for the right (i.e., long term) reason.

As a religious outsider I completely understand how US Moslems are affronted by the Gaza genicidal positions of the 2 presidential contenders.... breath-taking hypocrisy against basic human rights and nothing but geopolitical power play.

Recently it is reported that Moslem leaders have advocated voting for Trump in preference for Harris. I find this disconcerting. Trump is even more extreme in his support of Israel than Harris. Maybe there are secondary moral/ethical issues that have persuaded them to do this but this is missing the main focus... the people of Gaza.

Your advice deserves merit.

Assalamualaikum

Just finished watching the interview of Dr Jill Stein.

I feel like she is the voice of millions of Americans and like minded people all over the world.

It is a very good start for her party and I believe her support in the public will grow stronger.

A vote to Green party is a vote for human rights.
