      This is a weird thing to say, but I actually don’t think that there’s any indication that Harris or Trump would do anything substantially different with regard to Israel, but the biggest change is that if Trump wins, I suspect that coverage of this will disappear behind all the coverage of his domestic chaos. At least if Harris is president I think there is a chance we see the press maintain a modicrum of interest in covering this.

      Either way, words can’t describe my anger that Harris appears to be prepared to throw the election over her support for genocide. It is an unreal situation to watch.

          No intelligent person should vote for a party supporting a genocide either. Israel government is finishing the job already.

            Ok. But either Harris or Trump WILL be our next president with how fucked up our election system is.

            Who would you rather fight on this? A run of the mill democrat, or a literal nazi? We’re choosing our opponent, it’s the only choice we get.

              Don’t support any of them and use your energies somewhere else, you said yourself that the system is fucked up

                Sure. And then trump wins and i completely lose my reproductive rights and my trans wife loses her healthcare.

                There’s more at stake here.

                  There’s indeed more at stake, there’s an ongoing genocide in gaza where kids are being murdered daily. If you care about human rights that’s even more reason for you to stop supporting the parties that for decades have fuck over these rights.

                Okay black pill bro. When you grow up and understand how things actually work, let us know.

                Maybe those of us who are actively trying (while also understanding how our choices work) will acquire Ranked Choice voting before you become mature enough to join in on this non-black-or-white conversation.

                  Advocating for the government and ruling parties is actively trying to empower them even more.
