    Electoral politics is a fickle thing. If Harris makes a statement either way on Palestine, she will lose.

    I just can’t seem to understand why nobody seems to get this.

    Edit: I honestly can’t wait until November 6th when all of these bullshit, brand new accounts astroturfing for third parties and doing everything they can to get the fascist elected, mysteriously disappear.

    And if they don’t, well, I guess this website isn’t for me.

      She has already made it clear that Biden’s policy regarding Gaza is her policy. She has taken sides on the issue already. You just like the side she took.

      We can’t change course, we obviously have to hit that iceberg and then just hope for the best afterwards. What use would turning at all do. Honestly, I think hitting the iceberg isn’t even that bad of an idea. The other crazy person we would let behind the wheel would also drive us straight into the iceberg anyways but playing music to cover the screams of horror better.
      Everyone screaming about the iceberg is just over reacting anyways. The true iceberg is the one after this one and all the other ones hiding out at sea we will get to after we finish smashing into this one.

      Why the fuck is everyone so afraid of change or trying things different.

      “This is the way”, screw that, we aren’t caricatures.

        This analogy is incomprehensible.

          Just like the arguments that we must simply accept that there is no options other than continuing exactly as is or exactly as is but more proudful.

          There is a lot of complex issues boiled down to nothing to do about it other than huge sweeping options or nothing at all and it’s exhausting.

      Some things are bigger than winning or losing, and innocent lives are one of those things.

        I agree completely. Which is why we need to do what is in our power to minimize the loss of innocent lives.

        And that means doing literally everything we can to stop Donald Trump from becoming president, full stop.
