Right now, it's the same amount of genocide.

I'm sure if trump gets his way, a lot more people will be hurt in the states as well.

You are asking thousands of people in the US to walk over their families and relatives dead bodies in order to vote for someone who allowed and helped their murder to happen.

Trump won by almost 3 million popular votes. If everyone who stayed home because of the genocide in Gaza voted for Harris, she still would not have won.

Media has focused on those voters, black and latino voters, brown voters, etc. Why have they not focused on the fact that a majority of white males and a majority of white men voted for Trump? When they know he is actively eroding their rights?

I see. You don't understand what genocide is.

Do you think genocide in Nazi Germany started with people getting killed?

Also, if you think I am interested in talking about an election that ended last year, you're wrong. I am talking about genocide happening right now, genocide you are denying because apparently only one genocide matters to you.

I'd hate to hear how you felt about Sudan.

Correct. I will deflect when someone ignores the existence of multiple genocides in favor of pointing fingers and rehashing a months-old election.

What have you done about any genocide? Joined any human rights campaigns? Done your best to contact people who can keep awareness in the media?

I don’t expect you to dedicate the minimum two hours a week that I have been doing for the past few weeks (cut down from four by necessity), but how much time would you say you spend per week actually doing something about human rights?

I won’t be holding my breath for a legitimate answer. I keep asking finger-pointers like you and I’m lucky if I get a dishonest answer. Usually it’s no answer at all. Because acting takes effort and being rude on the internet is fun.
