I’ve come across a lot of people here and in other corners of the interwebz who are extremely adamant and passionate about the response the U.S. should have toward the humanitarian crisis and murder campaign that is currently being waged against the people of Palestine. They are so staunch in their position against the fact the Biden Administration has supplied weapons and military financial support to Israel in support of this campaign, they vow to vote for a third party candidate or not vote at all. I get it. I am completely with you on your opinion of how fucked it is that we are supporting Bibi’s Zionist movement in the region. But Rep Acasio-Cortez articulates rather well why she is voting for #HarrisWalz and why I am too.Harris can be moved. I believe Harris can change course in Gaza. I believe Harris can be persuaded to place an embargo on Israel. Trump absolutely cannot. And under a Trump presidency so many others will be hurt beyond just those in Gaza. @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews

@WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews So her argument is:Do you want just genocide for others with Kamala or genocide for others and more suffering at home with Donald.I guess it makes sence if you take the genocide of the Palestinian people as a natural baseline.If only there was a third way. Oh, I don’t know, like not selling billions of dollars of arms and committing genocide.But I guess that’s a very high bar for American morality.

@Moonslime @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews “you are potentially causing more harm than good with your ‘unapologetic anti-genocide’ ridiculousnes”Do you even hear yourself?For shame.

@aral @Moonslime @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews In 1968, frustrated opponents of the Vietnam War allowed (compulsive liar, demagogue, and far-right troll) Richard Nixon to defeat Vice President Hubert Humphrey for US President.Nixon not only stepped up the genocide, he added another in Cambodia, and tacked on some coups in Latin America.Beware of false equivalencies.

@aral @Moonslime @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews Boy, Aral, I don't always agree with you, but I must say, you provoke the most ludicrous, convoluted responses from people who would like to free Israel and it's supporters in America from any criticism for perpetuating a genocide. That said, I agree with Wren, that there may be a meaningful difference between full time fascist Mr. Trump, and V. P. Harris who is reluctant to disagree with her genocide supporting boss, Pres. Biden.

@Osteopenia_Powers @aral @Moonslime @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews well don't blame it on "frustrated opponents of the Vietnam war". Blame it on the Democratic party for engaging in the Vietnam war in the place, and blame it on Nixon for being a compulsive liar and a far right troll.

@FelisCatus @aral @Moonslime @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews Well, here's the thing. Both Nixon and Johnson/Humphrey promised to end the war. Nixon, being the POS that he was, secretly torpedoed the Democratic plan. Then he went on with the war for 4 more years, escalated troops and bombing, and destroyed a few bonus countries. So, NO!I blame Nixon and those who failed to distinguish between him and Humphrey.

@FelisCatus @aral @Moonslime @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews So there were two paths. The world got the more bellicose path.There are two paths today. Don't tell me they're the same.

@Osteopenia_Powers @FelisCatus @Moonslime @WrenArcher @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews No one is telling you they’re the same. People are telling your presidential candidate to stop arming a fucking genocide.
