Imagine making a war in another continent a national election issue in yours. Especially when neither candidate agrees with you.
I always thought it was stupid for people to come down on Kamala, who has zero power as VP, for not supporting Palestine. Sorry to break it to you but most politicians anywhere don't. Making it a moot point in terms of it being an election issue. It should be handled at a more grass roots level, by going after your representatives.
If all these people really cared about genocide they would be making noise about not just the one right? There's been genocides going down in China, Syria, Turkey, India,Zimbabwe, Armenia, but everyone seems to only care about the one Network news told them to care about
You are a psycho if mass murder only bothers you when it's close enough to see without your glasses.
The problem is that both candidates in the last election were genocide supporters, not that people are deeply aggrieved by children getting murdered "on another continent."
What I'm against, is a bunch of North American white kids who sit on a throne of blood, enjoying the fruits of America's terrorism and colonialism, moralizing and leading some sort of movement which includes being racist, hateful and intolerant towards anyone who disagrees with them in the slightest. I'm native and I've never experienced the type of racism and bigotry from the left like I have this year. You guys really went off the deep end.
Point is I support Palestine. What I don't support is your western moralizing and world policing.
It's just the left's version of "Poppa knows better than you brown folk" colonialism
Don’t bother arguing with this account, he’s an obvious Zio from his comment history.
You guys are so racist now. I would say what happened to the American left, but as a native, I'm used to your slurs
And a general anti-communist as well.
Yeah that happens when you're raised under a communist regime that disappears your neighbors and rapes your friends
