    I simply voted for the person opposed to genocide. This isn’t actually a democracy, so it’s not like my vote mattered anyways.

      So instead of the most reasonable candidate that has a chance of winning, you voted for someone else who had no chance of winning?
      Thanks for making everything worse.

      Single issue voters = duuuuuuuumb.

      This isn’t actually a democracy, so it’s not like my vote mattered anyways.

      People who say “voting doesn’t matter” = duuuuuuuuumb.

        Genocide trumps all other “issues”. If you are willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands to millions of innocents to annihilation, your “stances” on every other issue are hollow rhetoric meant for your own advancement, and the difference of having you in power over anyone else is microscopic. Not understanding that genocide means a politician is pure evil is the fucking pinnacle of “dumb”.

          I am willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands to save millions. You’re willing to sacrifice millions to say you kept your hands clean. Don’t act like you’re the morally correct one.

            I am not willing to sacrifice anyone. Were it not for people like you, no one would be sacrificed at all. You have no vision for a way out of perpetual war and subjugation, rather, you condemn the rest of us to it.

              I am not willing to sacrifice anyone.

              But you did anyway when you threw away your vote.

              Were it not for people like me, Trump would still have been elected. Were it not for people like you, an alternative may have had a chance.

                  Do you genuinely believe the situation for Palestine is going to be equally bad under Trump as it would under Harris?

                  Did anyone see what his response was? I really wanna know if he acknowledged how much worse Trump is
