I would support a candidate that is opposed to genocide.
US support for genocide, regardless of the country of origin. Is going to end badly. Trump supports Russia, The dems support Israel. No matter who you pick, some defenseless group of people is going to pay the price for your vote. Atrocious.
Trump supports Russia and Israel, the dems support Israel. If you pick Trump, both groups pay the price. Depending on who you pick one group will pay the price or not, one group will pay the price no matter what; yet for this group (the Palestinians) the degree to which will probably differ, I suspect Trump may be worse given that he avoids supporting a ceasefire at all and tells the Israeli government to finish what they started. People from Palestine state the same: Trump would be worse, but neither choice would support them.
To be clear though, the dems aren’t supporting a genocide, they’re supporting Israel to keep Iran from running roughshot through the middle east. They’re doing more than the rest of the world is by at least trying to negotiate a ceasefire. Better than writing finish them with a sharpie on the bombs.
Trump has said multiple times he has unwavering support of Israel and would give them even more weapons. Harris might be pushing the status quo which sucks but Trump would do much worse. I mean fuck Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem and recognized Israel’s claim to the Golan Heights. Trump already dunped a shit ton of fuel on the fire of war down there. Saying the two of them are both the same is some bullshit false equivalency crap. Get educated on a topic before you decide to barf out stupid comments.
If this bothers you then vote for some candidate and party other than Harris and the dems.
I like PSL.
Terrible idea. A better plan is vote progressives into congress. The presidency literally doesn’t matter. Congress gets to dictate almost everything the President can do.
I guess if you don’t care who gets in then yeah.
I’m personally past just voting for the “least bad” candidate no matter how that’s determined. It’s candidates I actually want from here on out.
You do that. And if/when Trump wins and gives Netanyahu the ok to turn Palestine into glass then turn it into luxury apartments for violent Americans, and he does, then those people’s blood will be on your hands. Remember that.
Why can’t we just vote for the biggest leftist party with the most ballot access? Ya know, the green party
I will generally not recommend people vote for or support the greens because they represent a directionless triangulation with no vision.
I’ve had the opportunity to vote green in every national election they’ve been in and even chosen them a few times and they’ve always let me down.
It’s that kind of attitude that weakens the left. If every leftist were involved with the greens, we could create a truly revolutionary party.
propaganda from both parties keep people at the bottom of the juice pitcher unable to breath fresh air and there are too few not drinking the punch to do anything
huge crab effect going on here
like when you go crabbing and put all the crabs in the bucket and the crabs that almost get out get stopped by their peers
It’s not cool that Americans are as dumb as crabs in this analogy. If every leftist just got behind the green party we might stand a chance. But everyone wants their own unique ideology represented.
She knows it’s about Iran, not Israel and some local border dispute.
Only a genocide deniers would call this “some local border dispute” at this time.
