    ah yes great. we get to select plain or polite genocide. as vile as trump is nuking gaza seems like a mercy compared to the slow death from hunger or burning them alive which is being done with biden blessing and not a single statement from harris to even acknowledge this genocide.

      Yes, it’s awful you only get two choices and neither will do enough about palenstine. But what about the other issues? Reproductive and LGTBQ rights? Surely Harris would be better on that front?

        These people don’t actually care about rights. They have found a single issue to throw all of their weight behind and are blind to everything that doesn’t support their position 100%.

        I guarantee you there are large numbers of Palestinians who would not pass their ‘care about genocide’ purity test based solely on things like thinking that Harris will result in less death than Trump.

          this not a single issue. dnc has become as evil as trump. They don’t care about pregnant women getting shot by snipers and bombed in hospitals and you think they give a rat ass about women’s rights.

          lgbt, abortition are issues in 21st century because of their complicity. a vote for kamal is endorsing gencoide and continue this spiral of decline.

          have you seen the footage of what’s happening in gaza ? how offensive to suggest that they should vote for a candidate who is already been burning their family alive for a year. rot in hell with that mentality.

            Thanks for proving my point.

            You don’t give a shit about queer people’s rights or about brown people getting deported by the millions.

            Claiming democrats are just as bad as Trump on these issues is a disgusting lie at the expense of queer people.

            No Democrat would do any of this. Harris certainly wouldn’t:

            https://www.hrc.org/news/the-list-of-trumps-unprecedented-steps-for-the-lgbtq-community

            Project 2025 would make that exponentially worse. It would be another genocide. Plus the genocide he’s made clear he’s going to do with brown people by deporting as many as he possibly can, which would literally require concentration camps.

            You care about one single issue and you don’t even care if Palestinians agree with you on your ideas.

                cool go vote for her.

                I will. I don’t want my daughter or any other people forcibly marched into conversion camps.

                That won’t happen under a Harris administration. Trump’s people are sure implying it will under his.

                Why does that not make a difference to you?

                  same way ruthless genocide with our tax dollars and support doesn’t make a difference to you. does the housing and cost of living crisis under biden bothers you ?

                  and honestly trump stupid claims are unlikely to be reality just like the wall. dnc amplifies all that because they have nothing else to campaign for. biden didn’t do anything about roe vs wade so he can his reelection campaign on it.

                  by voting for harris you are only postponing what trump will actually do by a few years or may be even worse. for americas future both gop and dnc needs to destroyed and every lobbyist jailed.

                    “He probably won’t put your daughter in a camp” is not the good argument you think it is. I’m guessing you don’t have kids. But if you do, I hope for their sake none of them are queer.

        i get that for you it’s not vile enough to not participate in this farce but i can’t vote for genocide of innocents who have already suffered decades of apartheid. for me a red line has been reached.

        maybe in next election we will have marjorie vs some another dnc lobby shill where the choice will be just bring back slavery in general or just slavery of colored people. will that be red line for you or will be still saying that it’s awful but dnc is better and it’s the only viable choice ?

          I’m Canadian so I don’t get a vote. But even in a broken system I would still vote for the lesser. How are things ever going to get better if apathy allows republicans in each time?

          You don’t need to be silent but of the two options who is more likely to be swayed? No matter what it’s going to be one of the two in power.

            voting for lesser evil works worked for biden. now dnc is evil as republicans, they just lie about it.

            my next vote will be only for a candidate who is willing to jail aipac, citizen united and other lobbyists.
