If we had STAR voting I could give these two guys a 1 and a 2 while progressives all get 8 to 10. Unfortunately, that isn't a reality we exist in. In reality only one of these two guys will win.

There is no realistic scenario this year where a third party candidate receives enough EC votes to become president. Like both guys would have to die before the election and the third party would have to be a popular household name.

Given that these two are the only realistic candidates, my only option on this issue is throwing my vote in the trash (expressing that one doesn't give a fuck how many Palestinians die, no preference either way) or voting for the person I think will kill fewer Palestinians.
