People are worried because of the upcoming election. We should still hold our politicians accountable, regardless. I agree.

Noooo you can’t criticize my candidate it will make it harder for her to win like how people criticized Biden which made him quit and… checks notes completely turn around the election?

Huh, it’s almost as if people are literally begging to vote for someone they want to vote for

I think we can both agree this is a very complicated/politically nuanced situation

No, I don’t agree with that. People have been gaslit (sorry) into thinking it’s a complicated situation with no fixes when reality is very cut and dry: Colonialist forces invaded, created an ethnostate, forced the population into an open prison and are proceeding to commit genocide with full support of the freedom loving international community.

There are people who think this is inhumane and they’re right to make their voices heard. It’s the candidate’s job to compromise with their electorate, not the other way around.

Sorry, I’m just not a fan of terrorists. That’s just based on my personal experiences and world view. I hope you can see my point of view in the same way I try to see yours

There wouldn’t be any Palestinian terrorism if Israel would stop oppressing the Palestinians.

10/7 denialism is strong here. Showing the true colors with the Nazi play book.

as they should be. These people are simply attempting to hurt the democratic ticket. Where were they at the RNC? The fact they werent there is proof they believe the only party that’d listen is the Democrats, and if they believed that, they’d want the Democrats to win. But they don’t. So they’re, at the very least, anti-democratic. And should be ignored. Especially during the fucking DNC. Idiots

Where were they at the RNC?

How many Palestinian-Americans are registered Republican?

It appears that these protests are being championed from within the respective parties, with a large cohort of “Uncommitted” liberal voters out of the Midwest leading the charge.

Politics has become a team sport. They only care about themselves and if their team “wins”.

I understand I’ll get downvoted for this but Harris said herself, as did Biden this week at the DNC that the protesters have a point, and that Harris wants a 2-state solution, ceasefire, hostages returned. Donald Trump wants Bibi to hold off and kill the ceasefire, to “finish the job”.

Harris is the best route to ensuring that Palestine continues to receive US based aid as well as support for the end of the war.

It is NEVER about getting EVERYTHING or NOTHING. If you set yourself on all or nothing, you will almost always end up with nothing.

I’m voting Harris because I believe she is the best chance Palestine has right now.

And many of these Palestine protester groups are on a team of their own, they are looking for an ‘all or nothing solution’ and anything else is against the team so burn it all down (many interviewed talk of destroying the whole system). Interesting how it’s okay when it supports your interest, huh?
