I admit the last couple of years have turned me into something of a one-issue voter, or more likely a nonvoter. THE question is: Is this candidate anti-war and anti-imperialist? If it's a firm Yes, they'll get my vote right now.

Problem is, now a lot of them who were firmly against the Ukraine war are now screaming genocidal maniacs vis-a-vis the Palestinians, so they're out.

I'll vote this November in Ohio, FOR abortion rights and FOR legalized, recreational marijuana. And against my corrupt local mayor. Other than that? Meh.

This was so good to read. Thank you! I have been stating to family and friends that I will NOT vote for Biden or anyone who supports the genocide, and I'm serious. After they bitch at me that we will end up with Trump if I don't vote for Biden, I try to tell them my principles won't allow me to do that again. I wasn't happy about voting for him the first time. But this time, nope, I can't. It's not just because I'm angry at the moment. If anyone supports this, it goes against everything I believe and I would be betraying who I am if I cast my vote their way. This made me feel better about being stubborn on this issue. Thank you again.
