    Good is funding a genocide?

    Keeping your most important ally in the Middle East isn’t about good or bad. It’s simply necessary.

    Now we have a worse “genocider”.

    You aren’t just voting for the person to have power. You’re voting for their party to have power. It wasn’t just about Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.

    And in case you didn’t notice, we’ve got some pretty serious issues here at home to be focusing on and taking into account when we vote. Palestinians are simply not at the top of my list.

      Palestine is at the top (or near the top, anyways) of my list and…

      I voted for Harris. Ignoring a genocide is bad, yes, but cheering it on is worse. I don’t think anyone in Gaza was cheering when they heard the news Trump was elected.

      I think people don’t understand that (under the fptp voting system) voting isn’t some kind of stamp of approval. You can still criticize someone you vote for. Voting is harm reduction, plain and simple.
