Yeah, wtf, I thought I was going crazy reading this post. Palestinian protesters aren’t going to vote for Trump, and them protesting the DNC is not going to increase his chances of winning.

They should keep protesting and putting pressure on the Democratic party. They should vote for Harris, but keep up the pressure, and not listen to people like OP.

Also, imagine thinking that Palestinian protestors are doing it to feel superior. They’re doing it because their tax dollars have gone toward a genocide that has thus far killed 40k people. They have no choice that their money goes toward this shit. They should not have to think about whether their protest will hurt an election campaign, nor should they care. They care that their country (even when there is a Democratic president) is arming a genocide and doesn’t seem like it has much plans to stop.

them protesting the DNC is not going to increase his chances of winning.

That is planely false. This election is likely to be a very close one, dictate by a handful of votes in a few key swing states. Because that’s how it pretty much always is, especially in these last few elections. Even if these protest change only a small amount of votes, it will have a massive effect on the chances.

That may not be the explicit goal. However the never Harris crowd is putting women, the LGBT, the environment, the poor, and other people at risk because their own comfort is more important to them. Yes, Harris is fucking terrible. But the deaths of Palestinians will be worse under Trump, and will also lead to the deaths of more people over all. It is a trolly problem that they’re willing to let more people die on, because they want to feel superior than those who are willing to pull the lever to save lives.
