“Let me be very clear: I am unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself, and that’s not going to change,”
vs.
“They have to get it done. Get it over with and get it over with fast because we have to – you have to get back to normalcy and peace.”
One of those two people is going to be the next President.
Harris believes, rightly, that Israel has the right to defend itself the same as any other country.
The problem is, they haven’t actually been engaging in defense for some time now. That’s the fault with Israel and Bibi, not Harris.
Trump believes Gaza needs to be exterminated fast and would bring the worst Israeli policies here.
Harris is just as much pro genocide as Trump is. Out of one side of their mouth, they talk ceasefire, as they have just completed their 500th military weapons drop to Israel. That’s why Democrats cannot be trusted. We have listened to what they said and then watched what they do.
Absolutely, actions speak louder than words, and both parties have shown their true colors by fueling conflicts while pretending to advocate for peace.
It’s not genocide denial. Historically, Israel has been attacked from all sides and the position of the US government, since Israel’s creation, is that they have the right to exist and the right to defend themselves.
The problem is, under the Likud party, in Gaza and other territory, Israel moved from defense to offense. We supply them in good faith and they use those supplies in bad faith.
That is NOT the same thing as “ZOMG! You support genocide!”
If Iran decides to legit attack Israel, they will, and should, defend themselves with our weapons.
The problem is that’s not what they are using them for, and that’s on THEM. Not Harris.
Every soverign nation has the right to self defense. Where Israel is going astray is the the same way the US went astray following 9/11… attacking and killing the wrong people and committing war crimes.
If Israel was ONLY targeting Hamas, nobody would have a problem with that.
The problem is the people in power in Israel see the Hamas takeover in 2007 as “Well, they’re all Hamas.”
The reality where we aren’t pro fucking genocide we just aren’t pro “throw our democracy away because we aren’t able to stop them from funding Isreal.”
There is no reality where we get to have our cake and eat it too. We either get pro military industrial complex, or pro military industrial complex and the upending of our country.
Not much of a choice. There is no reality where in the handful of months we have left we are somehow able to get everyone to go 3rd party… It absolutely fucking sucks but that’s why we hate money in politics and corporate media so much.
We’re told over and over that there’s no other choice, that we must accept the status quo or risk everything. But by clinging to the same corrupt system, we ensure that nothing changes.
The real power comes from breaking free of this false dichotomy and demanding a better future.
We won’t get there by continuing to prop up the same broken system. If we don’t start challenging it now, when will we ever?
I definitely agree, and there needs to be a time for this (my best thought is after ranked choice voting) but my point was more about right now.
With just a few months left and with the media ecosystem we have there’s like a 0.000001% chance we get enough people to vote green or whatever 3rd party.
Every election, we’re told the same old story: “Yes, things need to change, but not this time. This election is just too important. Look at what’s on the line!” But I’ve seen this game played out time and again. I’ve been casting my vote since 1988, and every single time, both parties sing the same tune: “Change is needed, but not today, not this time. Not this election.”
I respect your right to vote for whoever you believe in, but for me, I’m done with this duopoly that’s been squeezing the life out of real progress.
I’m done with being bullied into maintaining the status quo. I won’t cast my vote out of fear or because someone says it’s the only way to win.
I’m voting for the party that truly reflects my values, the party that dares to challenge this system, no matter the odds.
If we want to see real change, we have to start with ourselves.
I’m proudly voting third party this year, not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary.
I’m being the change I want to see. If you believe in Harris, by all means, cast your vote. But as for me, I won’t. My vote is for a future that matches my beliefs, not the fear-driven present that keeps us shackled to a broken system.

Harris is not pro-Genocide. Trump is.
“Let me be very clear: I am unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself, and that’s not going to change,”

Definitely not.

“I care about Palestinians so much that I’m willing to sacrifice their future well being for my poorly formed but intractable political ideals.”
Ok.

K.
You will however allow the most pro genocide voter to decide the election for you.
Good for you.
deleted by creator
No I don’t. I recognize reality and refuse to allow the most genocidal candidate to win.
How about you? Do you just accuse people on the internet of stupid shit, desperate to make enemies…
Or do you try to build a coalition to prevent the most genocidal candidate from winning?
Sounds like you just talk shit…
Do you deny Trump is worse, and has absolutely zero scruples about Israel obliterating Gaza?

With just a few months left and with the media ecosystem we have there’s like a 0.000001% chance we get enough people to vote green or whatever 3rd party.
And my point is that it’s always about right now.
