Nothing. Harris won't make it better either, both major candidates support genocide.

Lebanon, Yemen, Iran. Read up.

You can lead a liberal to analysis, but you can't make them read, I suppose.

Have you seen the vassal state comment up thread? He thinks the US has absolute control over Israel and that the war in Gaza is an expression of Biden and Harris’ will.

Not quite.

Israel is a vassal state. It requires US support to continue genocide. The US supports Israel because Israel serves as a Bulwark for Imperialism in the Middle East to help ensure US Interests are respected. The genocide in Gaza is specifically a result of the entire Zionist project of Settler-Colonialism. It isn't an expression of Biden and Harris' will, but of their undying loyalty to the economic interests of the US Empire.

Consider reading To stop Marx, they made Zion. Zionism is Antisemetic, fascist, and predicated on genocide.

I'm kind of obsessed with the "theory of understanding", for lack of a better term, so I hope I didn't ramble too much. Thinking about thinking is fun lol.

Where do correct ideas come from? is a good text on how we come to understand things, as well as OPPOSE BOOK WORSHIP.

No. They are telling their constituent to vote third party as early voting is getting underway. They are literally setting fire to their political capital while there’s still six weeks to figure out something that both sides can be happy with.

They are standing their ground. Harris can reach out at any time she wants and change course.

I mean, if you truly believe that then I guess the whole system is compromised and you gotta burn it all down.

I mean, correct. Do you disagree?

But it’s not something that has actual salience outside conspiratorial circles and the people that amplify them for their own ends.

You sure? It's quite salient among actual Palestinians, if you'd for once listen to them, which cascades to Muslim-American voters which cascades to swing-state results and the overall US Federal election.

If you have the power to swing Michigan you are the most important voters in the election that don’t live in Pennsylvania. You can leverage that into a deal.

That's what they are doing. Promising unconditional support for Harris despite her pushing for continued genocide has no leverage.

But you are going to have to be clear that you’re asking. “Stop the genocide” isn’t it. She’s not the one killing people. The only person that can actually stop the genocide is Bibi. He’s not on the ballot in November. You have to make an ask and it’s gotta be clear and it’s got to be something that you can realistically get.

Israel is a vassal state that depends on the support of the US. Absolving the US of the deeds of the vassal it provides weapons and munitions for is wrong, the deeds require the support of the US to continue.

What the actual fuck dude.

Talk to Muslim-Americans. They aren't stupid, or lacking in critical thinking. The ones voting Green are doing so because they can't support genocide, and realize that witholding support is the only way to force any kind of hand.

Easy to say when you aren't the target. It is the job of a politician to win over voters they are shedding.

Your line of thinking is that over half of Muslim-American voters simply "aren't thinking," which borders on racist. Instead, think about why they are doing what they are doing, and how that can change.

This is a continuation of Biden's genocidal policies, not a new promise to end the genocide. The DNC is losing heavily in optics, so they are trying to fight optics with empty promises while maintaning unending support for Israel's "Right to Defend Itself." If you have any knowledge of Israel's existence as a settler-colonial apartheid state, or why the US will always support it, then you know that Harris's promises are hollow and empty, and signify continued genocide.

Here's a simple thought experiment: why has the US historically supported Israel, and how would that change?

I think you can figure this one out if you try.

Seems like you're hinting that they should just accept that genocide is a fact of life for Muslims, instead of pressuring to change it. Easy to say when you aren't the target.

Telling your members to vote third party six weeks before the election is the exact opposite of that.

Stein has been polling ahead of Harris for months with Muslim-American voters, this isn't a new thing. Harris has had the time and information to pivot, and hasn't.

It's the concept of Base and Superstructure. The Mode of Production, ie Capitalism and Imperialism, reinforces the art, ideas, and ideologies that support it, ie liberalism, which in turn reinforce the Mode of Production.

Ideas are consequences of Material Conditions, Material Conditions determine what ideas are acceptable by a society.

What do you propose Muslim-Americans do to stop genocide?

Either way, Muslim-Americans make up a significant population in Michigan, enough to sway the swing state. Harris is playing with fire with her commitment to maintaining the Party Line on genocide.
