Same here, because when everybody is against us, and don’'t give a fuck about Palestinian genocide, I can’t vote for Harris who is only partially on our side.
My logic is flawless. I will now go ahead and shoot my other foot.

Well, both sides want to end the genocide. One by gently asking Israel to negotiate a ceasefire, the other by urging Israel to finish the job.

When one of those sides completely defunded UNRWA they are the same, When one of those sides keeps providing weapons and money to slaughter Palestinians, they are the same. When Biden and Harris are providing those weapons and money to Israel they are allowing Netanyahu to ‘finish the job’

Lol you have to preemptively use Donald’s quote because you know which party is worse and don’t want your campaigning on Donald’s behalf to get interrupted with facts or anything of the sort. The topic of the article is what you want to happen. Monstrous.

I’m using Trump’s quote because liberals quote it while ignoring their team is finishing the job.

I mean, Israel is in the process of annexing the West Bank right now, I don’t see the Biden administration doing anything about it.

Cool, so now you see that voting for Harris is a nod to either the same hand-wringing action that we’re seeing now. In fact, the hand-wringing is doing a little bit better than nothing right now (not by much, admittedly). Trump’s guy just said he wants the genocide to go faster. Now, I want you to apply the principles of harm reduction to this scenario. Which option is harm reduction?

If it just takes longer to get the same outcome, is it really harm reduction?

Either way, I’m not telling anyone how to vote, as the calculus depends entirely on where you live. In swing states, sure, your vote or lack thereof could make a difference. In the states where most people actually live (red or blue), you should be allowed to vote third party without getting yelled at by libs.

Ultimately, if the candidates don’t want to meet the voters where they are (and for the majority of Dems, they are in favour of an arms embargo against Israel), it’s their fault if they lose, not because of individual voters or random guys posting on the internet.

You can say it’s not enough if you want, but you can’t say it’s nothing. Certainly gets Netanyahu upset at least.

Let’s see if they walk this back again like they did with Netzah Yehuda. And yeah, this isn’t even close to enough.
