    Gaza is hardly even an issue on the ballot, you’re picking between slow genocide and fast genocide.

      Slow genocide is better though. We all get that right?

        Certainly gives us more time to try to do something about it, yeah.

          The time to do something about it is during an election. Politicians couldnt care less what you think after they have your vote. They dont need your money.

            If there was a part of the election to do something about it that time was the Primaries. The primaries that only like 30M people vote in every election. Right now your choices are between death and more death but also closer to home.

              Harris could still change her mind at the last minute.

                So you’re going to get Harris to change her stance by making sure she doesn’t become president? And because it was also stated that elections are the time to change them, you also imply she cannot change her mind after election?

                Thats some ass logic right there.

                  Well she can change her stance on the weapons shipments any time she wants. She keeps losing support every day in the polls, so I suggest she stop digging and try something else. Or she is going to lose. Theres a lot of progressives who will vote for her if she stops the shipments and wont vote for her if she stays the course. This is her choice.

                  You want to talk to someone about ass logic, talk to her.

                    Gaza is not a partisan issue. Making this the issue that decides your vote is stupid. People are going to die and the future will become a far worse place as a result of “progressives” not voting because of Gaza.

        Frankly no. Oppression like this is worse than slaughter. There’s a reason Gazans are telling reporters and social media they are relieved when their loved ones die, because they’re literally starving and in pain and squalor.

      Which one should you prefer slowly genocide by starvation, diseases.

      Or

      Fast genocide by increased bombing and worse weapons.

      I don’t think this is a choice anyone would want to choose from.

        Then we agree that Gaza isnt a partisan choice, but to answer your rhetorical I would choose slow simply because there will always be an avenue for justice as long as some of Palestine remains.

          Gaza is not on ballot I agree. But trying to convince people who don’t wish to participate in a genocide by telling them that their concerns don’t matter is wrong.

          Israel has declared if not by words surely by actions that they won’t stop as long as Palestine remains.

            If it matters to you then you should be making intelligent choices to reduce harm to an absolute minimum instead of getting angry and stupid enough to supporting NeoHitler, either directly or indirectly.

              How different would he be from all the dictators and despots US has propped up elsewhere in the world. World will still turn, sun will still rise. All dictators die, all dictatorship ends. This is not end of the world.

                Oh yeah I mean by that logic you might as well also put a cactus in your ass. Why? No need to ask questions, after all, the world will still turn. The sun will still rise tomorrow. Anally insert a cactus right away.
