But I'm going to vote for "genocide and some safety for my Trans and female friends" over "more genocide, gay bashing, and forced birthing". It's our only two choices until there is either a change in the voting system, or better yet, a revolution.
I respect this even if I don’t agree with it. If you believe voting for Harris is harm reduction then you have to and it is a moral imperative. So I do understand and empathize with people who are honest about how the Democrats are failing but still see critical issues like democracy, gender equality and rights, and the environment better handled by them.
However I believe this hope and faith is misplaced. But I realized this after 6 presidential elections, so I don’t dare to deny you your own experience and personal growth. In 2020 I still had hopes that the border detention will be over if we just get Trump and his racist goons out. The border camps are still here…
Somehow it feels like the government is on autopilot and the only thing elections change is the intensity.
I appreciate the respect and I can assure you that it is mutual. I can completely understand where you are coming from, and your stance. "Harm reduction", is a good way to put it, because that's all it really feels like. It doesn't feel good to feign support for a regime that supports such atrocities, but here I am thanks to our joke of a system.
And Biden did what to stop them over the past 12 months? Vetoed UN ceasefire twice, vetoed Palestinian statehood, sent thousands of tons of weapons to Israel despite knowing they break international law and have blocked aid entry to civilians, and now is helping Israel invade Lebanon and strike Iran. Trump is saying it but Biden is doing it now.
Whose fault is it that the genocide continued for a year and might be inherited by Trump? In the end we find out that in 2023 Biden is as bloodthirsty as he was in 1982 when Israel invaded Lebanon.
Trump assassinated Solemani. That was the starting point.
We both agree on "genocide bad" so why do you make a difference if it's done by Biden or trump or Harris?
I think you hope for the destabilization of the USA and their downfall, which is totally legit as you seem to be from the Middle East. But don't veil your intentions by hiding behind bogus arguments, defending Trump as the better choice. He isn't, only for religious extremists who want to command the private lifes of others.... oh wait, that's basically extremist Muslims or Project 2024 Christians. Ahh.. now I understand! SORRY... you are 100% correct from your perspective.
I never defended Trump. In fact you will find that Trump is far less popular than Harris among Arab Americans and Muslim Americans. No Democratic presidential nominee in fact won a majority of white votes since LBJ, not even Clinton in 1992 and 1996. It is white people who mostly support Trump and Republicans. An insignificant minority of Arabs or Muslims not voting for Harris in Michigan or Pennsylvania won’t matter. I’m merely trying to communicate why genocide is a redline for many of us and the Democrats lost many of us. Again it is clear that the DNC isn’t alarmed by losing votes in an insignificant minority of Americans.
You are assuming too much about me too. I’m not Muslim or religious for example.
Genocide should be everyone's red line. I don't know why that is even up for discussion (not you, the trolls which piggy back on us two).
I'm not even American or close to the middle east. It's just objectively worse for Palestine if Trump wins. I don't get the Saudis long game here with trump and Putin.... I would have guessed they would love to hurt Israel a little by pulling the plug via Trump/Musk.
wow thnx, please clap harder as i am also against prison slavery, fracking and that two faced lying hack that dnc has given us this time.
clap harder you clowns and go lick some lobbyists boots.
Vote for a fascist or a puppet of you must, but don't come crying when the wold burns.. You lit it up by dividing the force which could have prevented it over explaining why your Morales and solutions are superior... clowns everywhere as it seems, in your mirror too.
you want people to unite for those who are already burning the world and voting for dnc will prevent nothing. we will get trump-lite for four more years and then this same debate in next election. dnc getting less than 40% vote might actually create a platform where we don’t have to justify a genocide to unite.
Though I did not vote for Wilders. I voted for the animal rights party, because they are against war. Period.
Sadly, we have a lot of idiots in this country that believe that foreigners are the root cause of all problems, because of years of indoctrination by certain politicians. Which is why the far right won.
