The "election cycle"

The long election cycle exists to purposefully reinforce the bipartisan duopoly by forcing candidates to campaign for 6+ months which is way too expensive for anyone that isn't funded by billionaires. "Campaigning" shouldn't take multiple months we all have tv and phones it doesn't take long to tell us what you stand for and for us to make up our minds about that. Other countries don't have this ridiculously long election cycle

The democrats are currently pressuring Israel and pushing back politically

How is Israel being pressured? Do you mean phone calls where Biden asks bibi to chill then sends him everything he wants anyway? That's not pressure. Pressure would be putting conditions on arms transfers and Biden won't do that so the only thing separating Ds and Rs on this issue is a very thin veil of rhetoric that no one believes anyway

The actions of the president are going to have an impact on the upcoming election that doesn't change just because 1 party subbed in a new candidate with the exact same policy positions

The proper analogy to this election would be if Luke and Vader both had death stars, both had blown up a planet, but Luke's campaign promise was that he'll blow up fewer planets than Vader will.

Defending kamala is endorsing genocide. She's the one doing it right now

When it's white people: there's commercial flights available but some are unable to book (because tickets limited? Because those people are too poor? No idea) so we have to use gov funds to make sure no one is left behind

When it's "brown" people: commercial flights are available if you've got the cash, if not, go fuck yourself

Based on which party they're registered as? That doesn't mean much, it doesn't mean they'd definitely vote for the D candidate if there wasn't another option. You're assuming that the D candidate otherwise has that vote locked down just by being a democrat.

You can't "steal" a vote because no one owns that vote except the individual voter and the individual voter is not being robbed when they decide to vote 3rd party.
