“How dare you protest!!!”

Literally all Kamala has to do is announce a plan to stop war crimes and gain these votes back. The fact she won’t is on her, not on the people concerned over Gaza.

By the way, I don’t support Trump, I don’t think you should vote for Trump, but if you want to protest by supporting third parties until Kamala changes her policy you have my full support

It’s a million times more effective to protest by getting ranked choice voting as our voting system so we can end the duopoly and actually have control over our government when we really need it, like to stop genocides.

Let’s imagine a world where we stop sending weapons to Israel. What does a disarmed Israel look like, in your imagination? How will it affect the geopolitical situation in the middle east?

Is there any middle ground between “not receiving 20 billion a year in weapons” and “disarmed”

The centrist mind may never know.

Of course there is. The US has already stopped sending certain weapons aid to Israel over the situation in Gaza.

I’ll mostly ignore the childish insult, but you can do better at discussing the world like a mature adult, I’m sure.

Obviously Israel would stop killing Palestinians if they knew we wouldn’t support their existence. They know we’ll continue to support them, so that’s why they’re still killing Palestinians

What makes you so certain of that outcome?

Even if Kamala does announce this, does she have the support of Congress to do so? And would Netanyahu even listen if they did? The stuff happening in the Middle East has been going on for decades and I doubt it’ll stop anytime soon, unfortunately. Even without Western arms.

Kamala doesn’t need the support of Congress. All she has to do is enforce any of the numerous laws already on the books that make it illegal to send arms to a country engaged in genocide.

That’s obviously not true since Raegan stopped bombing in (I believe) Lebanon with one phone call

I didn’t realize Netanyahu was in charge during Reagan’s presidency.

Why doesn’t Trump have to announce a plan to stop war crimes? Why does Harris always have a higher bar to overcome than Trump? A protest to save lives has failed if more people die because of the protest.

Because everyone knows that Trump is not going to move on this issue, or really do anything good at all. Dems are supposed to be better than Trump, or at least they certainly insist that they are. People holding Kamala to a higher standard are taking the Dems at their word.

Then they objectively know Trump is the worse option. With the polls as close as they are, the protesters are willing to let trump win which will lead more gazans to suffer and die. These protests feed trump and netanyahu.

… Because Trump’s base doesn’t give a fuck?

How does this need to be explained

So you know that trump will be worse for Palistinians. And yet you’re willing to risk him winning to prove a point to Harris and democrats?
