This comment is honestly so telling. You’re okay with Trump getting re-elected and sending even MORE weapons to Israel, just so long as you personally don’t have to feel anything on your “conscience”.

Sounds more driven by selfishness than actual compassion if you ask me.

And if you’re willing to do unconscionable things because your twisted logic tells you it’s actually for the greater good, then you’re not much different from Biden.

What a childishly simplistic worldview.

It’s called doing the right thing, and I wish everyone knew how to do it and did it with me.

I’m sure the guy who chopped his arm off (or whatever it was) when he was hiking and it got trapped didn’t want to do so, but sometimes we have to make choices we don’t like. You’re choosing to let trans people, people of color, immigrants, Palestinians, and a whole lot of other people get fucked by Republicans because you can’t do a little dirty work.

I hope you don’t have a pet, because you sometimes have to clean up shit. It sucks and no one likes doing it, but sometimes we have to choose to do things like that so other people don’t have to suffer the consequences of if we decide to take the easy route and pretend it didn’t exist.

A “little dirty work” you say of voting for a genocider.

I honestly don’t know how to write this so it doesn’t sound like I’m attacking you but I’m going to try.

Disclaimer, Kamala Harris hasn’t stated anything on her stance involving Israel/Gaza conflict yet (as the presidential nominee), so my statements below may be a non-issue for you come election time anyway…

While it might feel like “doing the right thing” by not voting or voting third party, you are giving a vote to Trump if you do so, which is worse. It fucking sucks that we have this shitty two party system and all of sane people who aren’t just “my team vs your team” hate it… but I really hope you decide that your vote won’t be for Kamala but against Trump, since he will be far worse, not only for Gaza but Ukraine as well.

Nope. That’s not how it works.
