No vote, and subject everyone to the tantrums of the bigoted bronze manchild... who is even WORSE about Palestine.

Then when things are objectively worse, even for Palestinians, they will smile smugly in the mirror, distractedly fondling their bloated ego, thinking - "I did my part... bY nOt VoTiNg! MuH pURiTeH!"

So they're going to use their abstention to hold America hostage and risk Trump getting elected if they don't get what they want? And then what?

Their hearts are in the right place, but their brains sure as hell aren't. Big picture, people: see it.

And then Trump takes office, and Israel genocides even harder. 300 IQ move.

For about 2 days, I had a feeling of optimism but fucking knew we were going to single-issue our way to a Trump dictatorship. Was just hoping that wouldn't become apparent for another few days so I could enjoy the optimism a little longer. :sigh:

Harris has at least said and shown she cares about this too

who knows what she might be able to do before the election to convince people to vote for her

and this is not a single-issue thing it is human lives

sure you would not be saying the same if you became a single-issue

I was wondering how long it would take to see Kremlin propaganda scrambling to blame Harris for Israel's genocide.

NPR PBS put this out

not everybody that disagrees with the Democrats are bad

suppose to critique and ask better of people leading and wanting to lead ours or any country

but the behavior is the same in both parties called football politics

my letter and my color FUCK YOU MURICA BY GOD!

Hey, VP, we realize you have almost no real power even within your own country. However, if you don't make this other country stop its genocide, we're going to vote for the guy who will exacerbate the genocide.

case in point /\

Blue MAGA is not too far off sounding from Red MAGA

if you read the article it is at the beginning below the picture five lines down if you include the picture caption

A Pennsylvania group is asking voters to refuse support for Vice President Kamala Harris in November’s elections until the Biden administration brings about a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, or Harris publicly commits to an arms embargo on Israel if she becomes president.

right at the beginning of the article

or Harris publicly commits to an arms embargo on Israel if she becomes president.

that is not asking much
