Why would I?

Kamala isn’t president yet. You can call on her to sanction Israel as president, without also pushing another candidate.

She has promised to always keep sending Israel bombs. She can promise to sanction Israel if she wants to regain votes she is shedding by promising to continue genocide.

Jill Stein’s only practical role in this election is as a presidential spoiler benefitting Trump, and if Trump wins then Palestine is really truly f’d anyway.

Jill Stein's platform is a lot better than the Democrats, votes for her pull the DNC to the left. If Trump wins, he will indeed continue the genocide started under the Democrats, but so would Kamala.

It also doesn’t help that a vote for Jill Stein is a vote for the disbandment of NATO and the disruption of Ukraine aid. Those are extreme positions that have nothing to do with Israel-Palestine, and many of those interested in voting for her are likely not even aware of those stances.

Then tell people what she stands for. For what it's worth, disbanding NATO is the single greatest thing any American President could do for the Global South, taking a firm stand against Imperialism.

The Muslim-Americans that refuse to vote for a genocidal regime specifically targetting Muslims is somehow fascist, and supporting Trump?

This post is about Muslim-Americans polling more in favor of voting for Stein than Harris, and they responded by saying "yay, let's give fascism a chance," ie Harris loses because of this and Trump wins.

This entire post is about voting.

Liberals downvoting this would rather plug their ears and cover their eyes instead of confronting their issues and calling on Kamala to sanction Israel.

Are you vote-shaming Muslim-Americans refusing to vote for someone committing genocide on Palestinians?

The Steam Deck is absolutely strong enough for "proper gaming," whatever that means.

That was obviously the extreme example of the concept taken to its limit, I was hoping you would follow me on the whole length of the walk.

No, because using white phosphorous on an Elementary School is stupid, let alone monstrously evil. That does nothing to help anyone's cause at all, which is why it's a stupid example.

How about the example of starting false rumors and such about them?

Underhanded, just spreading the truth should be fine, but if it means fascists get bashed then its fine.

How about the fact that what you're talking about is illegal in and of itself?

Capitalist society is monstrous and needs to be destroyed, that's already highly illegal.

Playing dirty is immensely gratifying, and satisfying on a visceral level; I'm not trying to pretend that it isn't

It isn't abiut gratification or satisfaction, that's a deliberate twist.

I don't like it either, but it is their legal right to have that.

I don't care.

The whole reason we don't like them is that they lack the moral restraint that usually develops sometime around middle school, and the importance of which I'm trying to instill.

No, I hate fascists because they are fascists, and most want to kill me personally.

I could write a whole book based around the thesis that the primary difference between the two ideologies, is the importance that one places on delayed gratification, but I'm typing on my phone right now....

I could write a book on why carrying water for fascists is monstrously evil. You're the "white moderate" MLK Jr. wrote about in Birmingham Jail, endlessly preaching civility to defend a violent and brutal system.

You're comparing defacing fascist propaganda to using white phosphorous on an Elementary School. I want you to read that sentence very carefully.

You're comparing defacing fascist propaganda to using white phosphorous on an Elementary School.

Now that we have stressed the absurdity of such a comparison, you have to understand that if the enemy is genuinely dangerous, then you need to respond in kind.

"The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed. And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest, most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you know."

"What?"

"That the bourgeois are not human."

Moralism, or: how to let "civility" get in the way of stopping fascism.

I recommend looking into the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) as well as Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), I've linked their programs. They operate differently, but have national presense. There are local orgs you can join as well.
