Making this election about this one issue is exactly what Trump (and his ilk and foreign supporters) wants. People are falling for it again just like they did in 2016.
If you want everything to burn, and the US to cease being a country, then by all means, vote for Trump and fuck over the rest of us who are actually reasonable people who would want reasonable solutions to a wide variety of issues.
If you want everything to burn, and the US to cease being a country, vote for Trump
That’s literally the dead opposite of what would happen. Trump will make the US into an authoritarian, dictatorial police state, not dissolve it.
Do you ever do anything other than post anto-Kamala articles?
I invite others to browse this person’s post history and tag them
All I’m seeing is pro-Palestine content. Or do you define that as anti-Kamala on account of Harris being pro-Israel?
Frankly, if you do, I’d consider this comment very disingenuous. “anti-Kamala” and “pro-Palestine” sound very different to people.
If there isn’t a zero genocide option on the ballot, the U.S. democracy is not worth preserving. That’s my stance and I’m not moving. Kamala can meet this voter over on the non-genocide side.
Anyone who thinks voting for Trump is the better option for Arabs or Muslims is a fool.
That said, Harris has had every opportunity to signal a break from Biden in her policy towards Israel, and she’s turned it down.
Arab and Muslim Americans are truly finding out just how second-class they are.
Don’t want to vote for a candidate who keeps publicly stating that the country actively socializing plans to starve people will continue to receive their support? Get ready to be told you’re a horrible person who’s wasting your vote, and how you don’t care about other minorities (who apparently don’t have a responsibility to vote for your interests, like you do their’s).
You don’t think letting the Muslim-ban candidate win is a winning strategy for those concerned about Gaza? (/s)
Harris has been given so many warnings that her Gaza policy could cost her the election, and she’s been given so many chances to give a little ground on this issue. But at every turn, she keeps shouting her dissenters down, rather than finding ways to invite them into her coalition. Maybe their internal polling is real strong, and she feels confident that she can win without these dissenters. But at this point, if the Dems lose this election, they will have no one to blame but themselves. I hope fascism was worth enabling this genocide.
