No it's sad that you're blind to pragmatic approaches to our reality.
That's obviously not what I want to do. But I'm like 90% you're part of an ongoing psy op to split votes away from Dems to help the GOP win elections and suppress votes through apathy. So what does it matter anyways I'm just spitting into the wind writing this or any replies to you.
I am part of a psyop called humanity. I don't want people being okay with Democrats supporting and funding massacre of innocent people, many of them kids. I don't want to see Republicans win elections any more than you, but that is the natural process of people not being enthusiastic to vote when you are justifying supporting genocide.
If Democrats want to win elections next time around then they should start talking about how they'll honor the ICC arrest warrant and how they intend to sanction Israel. However, I'm fully prepared for you to explain why they can't do that just like you explained away them funding genocide. Democrats need more than Trump Bad.
I don't think I should need to explain the principles of harm reduction and pragmatism to you. Short version is it would have been better for Palestinians if Democrats won the presidential election.
Politics just doesn't work the way you're wanting it to. Sorry that I would rather cast a vote for a lesser evil than burn my vote and let an even worse outcome be manifest.
So you know what is better for Palestinians than Palestinians do? Haven't we heard this before throughout history and acknowledged it is racist?
Do I know that a Harris admin would be better for Palestinians than Trump and what's happening now? Yes, yes I do.
Then I guess Kamala Cheney should have done more to distance herself from Biden other than saying, "can't think of anything I'd do differently."
