    Except for that line I generally agree with you. I’d prefer focusing on the alternative, trump, as the main reason to vote kamala.

    But we don’t “win” just by trump not being president…

    We can’t just vote D every 4 (or even every 2) years and just hope shit gets better.

    And on this topic arguably Israel wants trump to win, as he would probably be much more pro Israel and anti Palestine.

    I’d argue against that.

    trump is unreliable and will do what Putin says. Israel is starting shit with their neighbors who have defense agreements with Russia. They have those because they can’t stand against Israel when the US is parking aircraft carriers right off the coast.

    They want Biden, but will settle for Kamala. And they own enough (from both parties) in Congress that the president doesn’t matter that much unless it’s someone willing to completely ignore procedure and laws…

    Like trump, or Biden when he went around Congress to provide arms for a genocide.

    Take a look at his family, he had kushner in his cabinet last time, known Israel supporter, and his daughter even converted to Judaism for this guy, so all the signs are there… trump would probably be very pro Israel

    Israel and Judaism is not the same thing…

    I do t know why that still needs said, but apparently it does

    trump is wildly unpredictable, that’s not good for allies. Because he could pull support at a moment’s notice for zero reason.

    If the US pulls support from Israel, they’re completely fucked. They’re the bully hiding behind the teacher for almost 80 years and if the US drops support, it’s the equivalent to the teacher leaving the bully alone with the class and no supervision

      Then focus less on national elections and more on local/state. Stop being hyper focused on the dog and pony show it’s become and pay attention to what’s happening locally while most of the country is watching the other hand.

      No one intelligent is happy with this situation unless your wealth is dictating it. Reminding people about all the awful shit we get to support no matter who we vote for puts the person in a defense mode and will inevitably never help your cause.
