I hope Kamala doesn't have the blind support of Israel Biden has, but it really looks like she won't be.
So regardless of who wins the election, they're both going to be ok with this
Still vote, and vote Harris.
When people say they want the only valid option to not support genocide:
Isn't as effective as you think it may be
I'm voting for Harris (even tho she has zero chance in my state)
But comments like yours are making voters feel disenfranchised meaning they're less likely to vote.
And the only reason I took the time to write that, is I think you're genuinely trying to help Kamala, what you're doing is just the opposite.
Something better would be:
That would be productive.
That would help her retain voters on the left despite her many recent policy moves that are chasing them away.
Doesn't work on progressives, they have a larger prefrontal cortex which is where empathy and critical thinking is. They literally can't ignore it like conservatives who in comparison have a smaller prefrontal.cortex and larger amygdala.
You appeal to them thru fear and pressure, what you said would work on them not progressives.
Note:
If you really want sources for the prefrontal cortex/amygdala stuff I can find them.
But we don't "win" just by trump not being president...
We can't just vote D every 4 (or even every 2) years and just hope shit gets better.
I'd argue against that.
trump is unreliable and will do what Putin says. Israel is starting shit with their neighbors who have defense agreements with Russia. They have those because they can't stand against Israel when the US is parking aircraft carriers right off the coast.
They want Biden, but will settle for Kamala. And they own enough (from both parties) in Congress that the president doesn't matter that much unless it's someone willing to completely ignore procedure and laws...
Like trump, or Biden when he went around Congress to provide arms for a genocide.
Israel and Judaism is not the same thing...
I do t know why that still needs said, but apparently it does
trump is wildly unpredictable, that's not good for allies. Because he could pull support at a moment's notice for zero reason.
If the US pulls support from Israel, they're completely fucked. They're the bully hiding behind the teacher for almost 80 years and if the US drops support, it's the equivalent to the teacher leaving the bully alone with the class and no supervision
Then focus less on national elections and more on local/state. Stop being hyper focused on the dog and pony show it's become and pay attention to what's happening locally while most of the country is watching the other hand.
No one intelligent is happy with this situation unless your wealth is dictating it. Reminding people about all the awful shit we get to support no matter who we vote for puts the person in a defense mode and will inevitably never help your cause.
