These are people who would have never, ever voted for Trump, but billions of dollars are being spent by the Democrats to slaughter our loved ones and our families. Israel has been decimating south Lebanon, where many of our relatives live, and now this administration is deploying US troops to the Middle East. Not exactly a winning strategy if they actually want our votes.
Some people think of a Trump vote as a protest vote. I have heard arguments being made along the lines of “Trump is not the person who is committing the genocide right now” or “Well, we didn’t have any wars under Trump”. I personally disagree with this, and consider Trump to be a fascist and fearmonger who deeply traumatised our communities during his presidency. He was a hateful leader who slammed the door on refugees by implementing a Muslim ban. While he didn’t start any wars, he did escalate existing wars in the Middle East and vetoed a series of bipartisan bills that aimed at prohibiting arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
Looks like the zio astroturfers found your article, incoming downvotes
the point is that neither trump or kamala support gazans despite whatever they say and expecting a group with the closest proximity to the genocide to accept your view that one genocide is better than the other is privilege at its worst.
You replied to the wrong person, just so you know. You meant to reply to Kethal on this comment: https://alx.lemmy.blahaj.zone/lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/11244289
thanks; i posted to the right one.
I’m not sure anyone has to support Israel’s war against the innocent to prefer Kamala over Trump, even though regardless of which party wins it seems that Palestinians will still die. They just have to care more about how Trump will affect them compared to how much they care about Palestinians.
In the end, Palestinians are a faraway people, with a different skin colour and a different religion. “It is sad that they are dead, but there is nothing we can do about it.”
People seem to tend choose to let other people be harmed if resisting that harm is inconvenient to them. And that is why I do not have all that much respect for people, and do not feel emotionally attached to humanity.
What a bunch of nihilistic garbage.
If you knew what nihilism was you’d be embarrassed at making that statement.
I’ll continue feeling bad about people who are different from me being killed, and you can continue calling that ‘nihilism’, when in fact it is not thinking that they’re important which is closing to believing that nothing has any importance.
