Bernie Sanders: Vote Harris because Gaza is ‘not the only issue’
Bernie Sanders said voters concerned with Kamala Harris' stance on Israel should vote for her anyway because Trump would be worse.

I'm not sure why people haven't been saying this more.
It's a fundamentally uncomfortable position. The people of Gaza matter, and we can be pretty sure that Harris will continue current Biden Admin policies on it. You can't argue for the hundred other policies at stake without knowingly allowing genocide to happen with US approval.
But here's the thing: there are two very prominent Jewish people who don't believe for a second that both sides are the same. One of them is Bernie Sanders. The other is Benjamin Netanyahu.

Thank you for saying this.
If I were American, I would surely vote for Harris. But I would want to have been able to do more to keep people safe from state terrorism.
Foreigners life NEVER mattered to americans. Supremacism is so engrained in their culture they think "both sides are for genocide anyway" is a normal, ok thing to ever utter. They are read to throw the rest of us under the bus instead of actually fighting against fascism.
I have been. It tends to get downvoted by both extremes on Lemmy.
On my instance, the UI doesn't even give a downvote option. There's probably a way around that, though, not that I am interested.
Getting rid of downvotes is, I think, a good thing.

I've been foolishly arguing with people for months on this topic.
We have been, everywhere we can.
