Single-issue voters are poison. The US is a 2-party system. For now. We can choose to make life worse for Palestinians by:
If you think I like this situation, you're wrong. But Donald Trump is an imminent threat to American Democracy and he has said he'd support more pro-Israel colonial policies to wipe out Palestinians.
Or you can vote for Harris/Walz. They actually care about people and can listen to reason, unlike Trump, who's degenerating before all our eyes. I am not in favor of Israeli genocide, which is why I'm not throwing away my voice on a "protest" vote or by staying home.
If they win and democracy in America is preserved, I will be petitioning the Harris administration to end all support for Israel and to condemn them on the international stage. I will also be advocating for ending the undemocratic "first past the post" system that gives the DNC and RNC oversized power. The moment 3rd-party candidates are viable, I will vote for them, and would be honored to have you as an ally in that fight. Until then, Vote Harris/Walz:
I didn’t say I would be doing any of those things, or that any of those would be better for Palestinians. I just don’t think that Kamala is “Actually Pretty Great” at all. She’s unquestionably better than the pants-shitting fascist but she also wants to finish his wall.
What I’m saying is that while I will most likely be voting for her, I’m certainly not going to be happy about it or pretend she’s a good candidate.
