Obviously a huge genocide isn't enough for you - you clearly want Every Palestinian to be killed or imprisoned when Trump is elected. And not just the ones in Gaza, if I were a Palestinian in the US, I'd be terrified of that madman winning, and I'd do everything I could to support Harris like my life depended on it (because it very well might)
More generally you are trying to convince us that the genocide is the only important issue in the world, and that it's somehow worth not supporting someone who is in all ways (not just all other) the far better of the two electable candidates.
It's literally the worst crime in the world.
Davidgro out here trying to minimize the literal worst crime in the world for political reasons.
I agree. Genocide is the worst crime in the world.
Which is why I voted for Kamala Harris, to help keep Donald Trump from winning.
Do you disagree with my choice? If so, how would you vote in the US presidential election of 2024 to minimize the genocide in Gaza?
Genocide is currently happening with the full support and speed of the US government.
Without resorting to platitudes, or general statements, what specific actions do you think Biden is taking to limit things?
Without resorting to platitudes, or general statements, what specific actions do you think Trump will take that will worsen the already existing systemic rape, torture, and murder of the Palestinian people?
There is no harm minimization for genocide.
People that believe there is have forgotten all historical lessons.
Please read this Nazi Era poem and consider its meaning:
Those who make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. The absurdity here is believing someone willing to commit genocide against others will protect whatever out group you want to protect that you believe (probably accurately) Trump will go after.
The battle against fascism has already been lost. There is no reform possible from within to fix it.
So all hope is lost and we should just give up and let the full direct fascist win. Got it.
