Do you think Trump would cease sending bombs? I don’t think he’s any better, and in fact would probably send more. We can protest once she actually does it which might be effective, unlike with Trump who would view the protesters as the enemy.
Nope, I believe that, like Harris, he will continue to uphold bipartisan US foreign policy, and maintain the current flow of bombs to Israel.
Painting Harris as “Palestine’s best hope for continued existence” is monstrous and downplays her already active support for continuing the genocide, it reads as you trying to pre-emptively absolve yourself of guilt for voting for her.
Trump has full on said he is going to be a dictator and that people won’t have to vote anymore. With Harris we still have a voice and vote, with Trump democracy is at risk.
Acting like she isn’t the best chance to even have a shot at fixing things is naive.
Additionally, if Trump has the ability to take away your right to vote if he takes office, he has the ability to take it away even if he doesn’t, you can’t politely vote fascism away.
Ok, so no one should vote. Laws don’t matter. Nothing is real.
Wait, so you’re saying he has the same power to effect laws as president as he does as citizen? That’s just very wrong… You know plenty of dictators were voted in at some point right? A history lesson might serve you well.

Again, interesting mental gymnastics.

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. The ability for an American President to permanently or even temporarily take away the right to vote is so immense it would take a full on coup, at which point the original outcome of the election doesn’t matter. Many dictators were not voted in, you need to open a history book and see what causes fascism.
Here’s an exercise: why do you think fascism is rising in America? Is it ideas, or material conditions?
If America isn’t a democracy why would you vote? Please tell me how that’s mental gymnastics. What’s mental gymnastics is declaring democracy doesn’t exist because you don’t like the candidates.
Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.
Got it, you think democracy doesn’t exist but every citizen has the same power as the president. Lol, from a guy who uses the term mental gymnastics all the time, now I know how you became so familiar with the term.
Here’s an exercise: why do you think fascism is rising in America? Is it ideas, or material conditions?
Because late stage capitalism is strangling the working class. So pro fascist leaders are using that to come into power. Just like every other before then, you blame all the problems on anyone standing in the way of your power and you tell people that you’re the only one who can fix it. Which is exactly, literally, what Trump has done over and over.
Now how about this exercise. Tell me what democracy is, by definition, and how the US does not fit that definition.
If America isn’t a democracy why would you vote? Please tell me how that’s mental gymnastics. What’s mental gymnastics is declaring democracy doesn’t exist because you don’t like the candidates.
The American Empire is formatted in such a way that candidates are only on the ballot if they serve Empire. It doesn’t matter what I do, there will be no Leftist candidates electorally.

How is Trump going to take away the right to vote? He would only be able to do so with a coup. I can’t coup the US Empire.

Oh, better answer! Not quite accurate, but the right direction! So, tell me this: what is Kamala going to do to stop Late Stage Capitalism? Is she a secret Communist?
Now how about this exercise. Tell me what democracy is, by definition, and how the US does not fit that definition.
The rule of the majority over the minority. The US Empire does not fit this because the parties and candidates derive their power from the Imperialist class, ie the monopoly Capitalists, via controlling the media, lobbying, and fully controlling the parties themselves.
Where did I say that she was “Palenstine’s best hope for continued existence”? I said nothing of the sort, so thanks for putting words in my mouth. The truth of the matter is that the US will always send Israel bombs, but one candidate will do it more than the other. Palestine is fucked either way, unfortunately.
Third parties will not win, Trump will not be any better for Palestine than Kamala, and Kamala at least has better domestic policy anyway. I don’t feel guilty for voting for her when the other candidate literally wants me any my queer friends dead, along with Palestine. Sorry, not sorry.

Didn’t realize you were a different person from the original commenter I was talking to. Speaking of, it’s helpful for people to have profile pics for that reason.
The truth of the matter is that the US will always send Israel bombs, but one candidate will do it more than the other.
How will one candidate do it more than the other? Is Trump going to build bombs himself? This is a bipartisan effort.
Third parties will not win, Trump will not be any better for Palestine than Kamala,
Correct, and Kamala will not be any better for Palestine than Trump, and pretending otherwise is monstrous.
I don’t feel guilty for voting for her when the other candidate literally wants me any my queer friends dead, along with Palestine. Sorry, not sorry.
Vote for whoever you want, just don’t pretend your vote for Harris is helping Palestinians. The US is dedicated to genocide either way.
I’m not going to upload a profile picture so that you can avoid reading.
Trump will give the military industrial complex more money. Look at what you’re doing now, you’re literally defending Trump. That’s a huge red flag, and you should maybe look at yourself and see why you are now defending him.
Did I say my vote would help Palenstine? No. I said it would keep the status quo, and that if Trump was elected it would only accelerate the genocide and also hurt myself and my queer friends. Are you a single issue voter?
Our two options are Trump or Kamala. There’s no chance a third party will win (by design). So, of those two, I definitely know who I’m voting for.
Trump will give the military industrial complex more money.
Lmao. How? Is he going to beg Congress to pass what they already are agreeing to pass?
Look at what you’re doing now, you’re literally defending Trump. That’s a huge red flag, and you should maybe look at yourself and see why you are now defending him.
Not at all, I think he’s a monstrous piece of shit, I just don’t think he has magic powers like you do.
Did I say my vote would help Palenstine? No. I said it would keep the status quo, and that if Trump was elected it would only accelerate the genocide
Again, materially, how?
Our two options are Trump or Kamala. There’s no chance a third party will win (by design). So, of those two, I definitely know who I’m voting for.
I don’t care who you vote for with respect to the genocide, both candidates support current US foreign policy and neither will change it, and pretending otherwise is monstrous.
I accidentally deleted my comment when I went to edit it. My apologies.
Miriam Adelson is one of the Trump campaign’s chief financiers. She pledged the Trump campaign in the neighborhood of $100m to support Israel’s annexation of the West Bank. That would be direct acceleration of the genocide.
That would likely provoke a war with Iran, and even then, he wouldn’t be able to do that without bipartisan support. If he can do that, and it can be proven Kamala would not, that is tangible evidence of escalation, something everyone else here failed to provide in any capacity, thanks.
Still, again, I question his ability to actually accomplish that even if he wanted to, and question that under conditions that allow him to be able to that Kamala would not also go through with it, given her record of unconditional support for genocide.
You do realize how congress works, right? If Trump wins, the house is probably going to stay red, and the Senate could easily flip to red as well. Then, all Trump has to do is say the word and suddenly the schedule for bombing Palestine has changed.
You did defend Trump, covering your eyes and plugging your ears over it doesn’t help.
I’m not going to continue to explain the basics of US politics and government to you. If you can’t understand how electing Trump or voting for a third party hurts Palestine, then it’s hopeless to continue to try. You are a lost cause, single issue voter. I don’t care if you care who I’m voting for, because you can’t seem to grasp the basics of politics in general. I’m voting for her because if I don’t, I will lose my own rights and be unable to help those who have already lost theirs.

The genocide is bipartisan though, look at the voting records of congress. They are going to agree regardless, the anti-genocide faction is a minority of the DNC.
You did defend Trump, covering your eyes and plugging your ears over it doesn’t help.
Quote me and show me, this is libel.
I’m voting for her because if I don’t, I will lose my own rights and be unable to help those who have already lost theirs.
I understand that’s why you’re voting for her, I just wish you’d stop pretending she’s better than Trump on Palestine despite them supporting the same policies.
If I could pick anyone, it would be Claudia De La Crúz, but even if I vote for her she won’t win. I just want Liberals to stop pretending that voting for Harris will cease the genocide, because it won’t, and it’s monstrous to suggest otherwise.
Yep, you’re right that she wouldn’t win and you would be propping up Trump by voting for her. I don’t see any “liberals” saying she’ll stop the genocide, either. I only see you bringing up that point in this thread.
Materially, if Trump and Kamala approve the same genocidal weapon shipments, regardless of their individual feelings, what changes? Do you think Trump has fascist magic that makes the bombs Kamala promised to send anyways more deadly?
She has promised to never cease sending bombs to Israel for it to “defend itself.”
Do you think Trump would cease sending bombs? I don’t think he’s any better, and in fact would probably send more. We can protest once she actually does it which might be effective, unlike with Trump who would view the protesters as the enemy.

So you see we’re between a rock and hard place, yet you’re focused on landing on a pillow.
That’s not going to happen. The hard place is gunna suck and hurt but the rock has sharp edges and will hurt more.

Adelson previously donated close to $100m to Trump support moving the embassy back to Tel Aviv, which Trump gleefully supported.
That would likely provoke a war with Iran, and even then, he wouldn’t be able to do that without bipartisan support. If he can do that, and it can be proven Kamala would not, that is tangible evidence of escalation, something everyone else here failed to provide in any capacity, thanks.

“I didn’t realize I was talking to somebody else. But it shout fault for not being easily recognizable beyond the different name above your words.”
I admitted a mistake, and offered a suggestion, I didn’t cast fault. Touch grass.
Point me in the direction of your preferred candidate then.
If I could pick anyone, it would be Claudia De La Crúz, but even if I vote for her she won’t win. I just want Liberals to stop pretending that voting for Harris will cease the genocide, because it won’t, and it’s monstrous to suggest otherwise.

Actually I’d be propping up Kamala by not voting for Trump.
Read the thread, there are plenty of people on this thread pretending Harris will be better for Palestine, which is a lie.
There are two people, by definition one is better. So you saying her being better is a lie must mean you think Trump is better. Which is insane.
This is a new level of liberal gymnastics, lmao.
Materially, if Trump and Kamala approve the same genocidal weapon shipments, regardless of their individual feelings, what changes? Do you think Trump has fascist magic that makes the bombs Kamala promised to send anyways more deadly?
That’s not what you said. You originally said “cease the genocide”, which neither candidate will do and no one here is saying otherwise.
Plenty are, and plenty are saying Trump will make it worse through fascist magic and warlockery.
