    Great job going “I’m going to guess” and assuming the exact opposite of what I know. A vote for a person supporting genocide isn’t nuanced - you just want it to be. It’s not broad strokes - it’s just reality. You talk about me being black and white yet it’s obvious what your views are and how according to you the US can do nothing wrong and that Palestinians deserve it. Further yet, you refuse to notice the fact that what’s happening isn’t grey - Israel is murdering thousands of Palestinians, displacing a million of them. You are a fence sitter and go “a little genocide is okay when it’s my country that supports it, I just need to handwave it away as grey morality”. You called another user a propagandist for saying “this is a genocide supported by the current president and the next democrat candidate”. Those statements are true and they deserve all the shit they get for it. There is no excuse.

    Also great job speaking about breaking trade agreements like that’s an excuse to fuel a murderous regime. Do you even read what you write? Do you even have a shred of empathy? It doesn’t matter that it is hard or has repercussions - you do it to hold onto your principles and to show you want peace. You do it to save lives. It sends a clear message saying “we don’t support this” to every country that’s watching this conflict. It sends an even clearer message to Israel - that the US won’t blindly allow them to destabilize the region by launching multiple wars with its neighbors and erasing a population.

    The UN calls sending weapons to Israel a serious violation of human rights, international humanitarian laws and says it risks complicity in international crimes, including genocide. Show me the nuance and grayness of the situation, when the UN Human Rights Council directly calls out the United States and the specific companies doing it. Show me the nuance in the UN calling the war in Lebanon a human rights catastrophe.

      Socialists that give a shit about what the UN thinks? Hmmm…. I guess you’ll use anything that helps you make whatever point you think you have.

      Either way… I knew I was wasting my time. Never again. There’s no getting through to you people.

      Waste your vote. You’re free to do so.

      For now.
