  • That’s a very privileged view you have, that both parties are the same.

    There is no “Zero Genocide” option, not because I’m bloodthirsty, but because I am held hostage b y a blood thirsty machine, just like every other American.

    Right now, that machine does not need consent to destroy Palestine, but it does need consent to kill pregnant women, to separate latino babies from their parents, to end birthright citizenship, to mass incarcerate transgender individuals in prisons intended for their birth sex, to deport Palestinian-Americans back to Palestine while it’s still being bombed… Because this is all Trump wants to do.

    You can’t kill off the whole group simply because you’re upset that there can’t be a 100% survival rate here… And it pains me to say that, I’m not trying to be dismissive, I’m saying that the people you want to save are doomed no matter who is President. But there are still many other lives who will perish under a Trump regime, who won’t under a Harris presidency.

    Reminder: Trump also supports the genocide of Palestine, but he also supports escalation up to and including Nuclear weapons, Harris would keep it business as usual. Neither is exactly my ideal outcome for Palestine, but you need to let terrible be the enemy of bad.

    Edit: Look I’m just gonna post this picture because it shows the situation better than I can explain it


  • Ah, single issue voters who aren’t bright enough to understand the big picture and how it effects them.

    Or again… failing to realize Trump has a stance on this issue that’s literally worse than Harris’… and has done shit like put the fucking Israel-US Assembly in god damn Jerusalem, basically mandating that Palestine doesn’t exist.

    It’s like imagine one party wants to break your spine and permanently paralyze you, and the other is going to kick you in the shin really really hard, and if you don’t vote because neither of those sound good thinking “Oh well, I don’t really want either of those.” the former is going to win, and it’s kind of objectively much worse.



  • I’m not offering a compromise, I can’t make Harris do anything. If you think I’m some kind of wizard who can wave her hand and suddenly make Harris put Nethanyu on blast as she sends in the calvary to start rebuilding Palestine, then I got a bridge to sell ya.

    I’m merely point out that we have two options.

    We let Trump get elected, he deploys nuclear weapons in Palestine because he’s an idiot who keeps demanding to know why we aren’t doing that already ( https://patch.com/us/across-america/donald-trump-reportedly-asked-adviser-nuclear-weapons-if-we-have-them-why-we-can-t ) and starts rounding up vulnerable Americans in camps because he likes Hitler. We try to protest both, he deploys the national guard.

    We get Harris elected, the threat of Trump is gone forever because he’s not going to even live long enough to try this shit again in 2028, we still have the freedom to protest, she doesn’t make things any worse for Palestine than they already are under the Biden administration, and we can still focus on trying to push the country leftward with the whole “Not having to fight for our lives” conditions a Harris presidency brings that the alternative does not.

    Under the former, we can’t do shit to help Palestine because we’ll have our own problems, under the latter there’s still a fight.

    I’m not meekly saying “But Trump…”, I’m merely being realistic in what the landscape looks like under each presidency.

    Palestine isn’t gonna have a good time under either President this is true, but one of those is clearly worse than the other for not only that region, but our region. You must understand that.

    If you really want to stand there and pitch a fit because you can’t have your cake and eat it too, congratulations, you’re going to get us all killed.

    PS: “We could all vote Third Party.” - ELECTORAL COLLEGES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!

    “Electoral Colleges are inhumane, undemocratic, and we need ranked choice voting.” - True, but it doesn’t change the fact that our current system is an Electoral College and Republicans are the reason that’s not going to change anytime soon.
