The following is intended for those who want to put “די” in the ballot box but are hesitating because of the electoral threshold. (Those who have no intention of supporting us can simply skip this...) One of the biggest (and most common) mistakes Israeli voters make is giving up on voting for the party that truly represents them in favor of a “larger party,” believing that this is a smarter (and more “strategic”) choice. Why is this a mistake? Voters who believe in a small party and what it has to offer, but nevertheless choose to vote for other parties they identify with less, create a self-fulfilling prophecy, especially for parties that are just above the electoral threshold. Worse still, Israel’s political graveyard is full of large and medium-sized parties that urged voters to support them solely on the basis of the “large party” argument, only to lose the opportunity to form a government precisely because they weakened the smaller parties they needed to build a coalition. So, to everyone who wants to vote for us with their heart, I would add that voting for us is also the rational choice. Not only are we crossing the electoral threshold in most polls, but your vote will help ensure that all the other people who currently support us also receive the political representation they want. In this sense, a marginal vote for us is a vote that is “worth more,” because it helps push the party across the electoral threshold, which translates into four seats in the Knesset. Putting “די” in the ballot box is the most rational vote you can cast, and the highest-value vote you can give in this election.
