        Trump was far worse for Palestine though. So much worse.

        No, you were just denying and downplaying the genocide when it was your team doing it

        I wish these relevant sourced arguments could bring some around, but they won’t in large part because many of these comments are not American voters and just want to vent.

        Just like we did when we were kids. Except we live here and we vote.

          I was raised republican and you would be even more surprised how completely ineffective this would have been on me in the past. The people that continue to vote republican are so much dumber than you realize. Like find a source that disagrees with them, so they go find new source type dumb.

        Trump is the same for Palestine, he’s worse for you and that’s the only part you give a shit about

      Lol, no, I’m certainly not. I do what I can within my limited means although I’m sure I could do more. Sadly, just by virtue of voting, I’ve done more than the majority of my countrymen but I certainly am no paragon of virtue.

      I am a realist though. Realistically the Palestinian people would have been better off, or at the least not worse off, with a Harris administration at the helm.

      Regardless, the diplomacy would have been carried out by the statesmen in the background if she was in office or Trump - Trump just comes with massive baggage.

            Democrats did more to put Trump in power than every protest & third party voter combined, and you’re still making excuses for them because you’re a spineless moron

          Geez, calling me a morally bankrupt coward is just a tad bit mean, don’t ya know? Also doesn’t really address the actual real world we’re in where we are voting on an office which is making decisions that go far beyond only the tiny part of the world that is Israel/Palestine.

          Like I don’t know how naive and narrow minded one has to be to think a world with Trump in charge of the USA is better than the alternative.

          Like, obviously, if I could waive a magic wand I’d change a whole fuckpile of stuff about our government and our system of living as a whole. Unfortunately, presumably, much like yourself, I’m not magic.

            I can’t believe you tried to pull the “it’s more important than tiny little Palestine” bullshit. It’s a fucking

            GENOCIDE

            Kids are dying every day.

            Morally bankrupt coward was too kind for the kind of person you actually are.

              Ah yes I’m a morally bankrupt coward for … Voting? Being realistic about our world? Caring about more than one thing at a time?

              If it wasn’t concern trolling and people actually cared about the Palestinians more than some moral superiority complex we would have Harris as president. Instead people were too short sighted or dumb to realize they were being manipulated into giving Trump support by them not voting or voting third party.

              So … Yeah, obviously I think what happened and is happening in Gaza is fucked up. It’s a man made famine starving kids, not to mention all the other ways they’re dying.

                Yeah you sure put pressure on the American government to stop that one by assuring them you’ll still vote for them if they don’t even promise to end funding to a genocide. I’m sorry but any way you slice it to me, this attitude makes you complicit.

                  I don’t think you understand how American government works if you think abstaining from voting is pressuring anybody to do anything.

                    I don’t think YOU understand how governments work if you can’t even understand that applying pressure to a government to do something will change their platform during elections. It’s part of why Biden stepped down dude.

            A lot of our friends here have only a mass-media understanding of American politics. And given that mass media is utterly terrible, it’s . . . a crooked understanding.

            I don’t owe civility to anyone making excuses for the fucking democrats, nothing about the “real world” requires you to accept their complicity in genocide you decided to do that shit on your own

                    If I have to read one more fucking idiot say how it was better to abstain from voting or vote 3rd party than vote Harris because the Biden admin supported Israel I am going to lose my mind.

      Be fair. Centrists were willing to sacrifice everyone’s comfort and stability as long as they didn’t have to tell netanyahu no.
