We have a choice between one person publicly calling for a ceasefire and another who says Israel needs to finish the job.
I’m not sure what you want us to do here.
I could attend every Free Palestine protest, boycott every Israel-affiliated company, volunteer at human-rights organizations, raise money for Palestinian relief, write a book about the genocide of the Palestinian people at the hands of Israel, and cast a vote for Harris rather than Trump, and you would still say I support genocide.
While doing what you would probably rather me do, all those things except not cast a vote at all, would be actively helping the opposition, who not only wants Israel to “finish the job,” but also moved the American embassy to Jerusalem, officially recognized Israeli settlements one the West Bank as legal, and has said he wants to deport communists and Free Palestine protesters.
So at the end of the day, yeah I’m gonna vote for Harris. Am I happy with the Democratic party? Of fucking course not, but I don’t really have a choice in the matter.

Any list that contains X contains X. You’re giving material support to a political faction that’s carrying out genocide. The political analogy isn’t voting for Hindenburg, it’s reelecting Hitler in 1944.
What I want you to do is recognize that there are no solutions within the existing political order and that is not an excuse.
Are you easily fooled by someone saying one thing while doing the opposite? don’t you not care whether their actions align with their words or not?
I’m going to either vote for Jill Stein or Claudia De la Cruz. Both are appealing for different reasons.
They want you to not vote or vote for a 3rd party. Don’t y’all get that yet? It’s about getting Trump reelected and bashing liberals in the guise of being leftist
Or you could “organize” or “educate yourself” or maybe “start a community” and like that’ll fix everything
Don’t forget you can do some random kind of “direct action” too.
