I’ve come across a lot of people here and in other corners of the interwebz who are extremely adamant and passionate about the response the U.S. should have toward the humanitarian crisis and murder campaign that is currently being waged against the people of Palestine.

They are so staunch in their position against the fact the Biden Administration has supplied weapons and military financial support to Israel in support of this campaign, they vow to vote for a third party candidate or not vote at all.

I get it. I am completely with you on your opinion of how fucked it is that we are supporting Bibi’s Zionist movement in the region.

But Rep Acasio-Cortez articulates rather well why she is voting for #HarrisWalz and why I am too.

Harris can be moved. I believe Harris can change course in Gaza. I believe Harris can be persuaded to place an embargo on Israel. Trump absolutely cannot. And under a Trump presidency so many others will be hurt beyond just those in Gaza.

@WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews So her argument is:

Do you want just genocide for others with Kamala or genocide for others and more suffering at home with Donald.

I guess it makes sense if you take the genocide of the Palestinian people as a natural baseline.

If only there was a third way. Oh, I don’t know, like not selling billions of dollars of arms and committing genocide.

But I guess that’s a very high bar for American morality.

@aral @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews Righteous anger is the only understandable response to genocide. Unfortunately it is not very helpful, and it’s why you keep having conflict with other people who are also anti-genocide. Your opinions on this 75 year long conflict are emotional, divisive, and foolishly over simplified. Netanyahu would like nothing more than divisiveness in the Democratic Party right now, and in that way you are potentially causing more harm than good with your “unapologetic anti-genocide” ridiculousness. Look up the definition of dialectic and grow up.

Do you even hear yourself?

For shame.

Boy, Aral, I don't always agree with you, but I must say, you provoke the most ludicrous, convoluted responses from people who would like to free Israel and it's supporters in America from any criticism for perpetuating a genocide. That said, I agree with Wren, that there may be a meaningful difference between full time fascist Mr. Trump, and V. P. Harris who is reluctant to disagree with her genocide supporting boss, Pres. Biden.
