If you refuse to vote for someone because you don’t like literally 100% of their platform, you’ll never cast another vote in your life.
Even if I supported 99% of Harris’s agenda, if the remaining 1% is genocide, that’s gonna be a problem for me.
There are two possible outcomes in this election. Neither are good for Gaza, but one is worse. Voting third party (if you’d normally vote democrat) is indirectly supporting Trump, who is the worse of the two options for Gaza.
Voting 3rd party to try and make a point is not helping the situation.
If you want to actually make a difference, get out there and protest, write letters to politicians, make phone calls - make sure they know what you want. People voting 3rd party doesn’t do any good if they don’t know why those people are voting 3rd party.
They could look back on this in 4 years, see a lot of third party voters, and assume it’s because Harris isn’t white, or because she’s a woman, or because of any number of other reasons. The only way they’ll know what your opinion is on this matter is if you tell them.
Writing letters to politicians and making phone calls isn’t going to do shit, they only answer the money and we don’t have it.
Yeah, some of us are fine with letting genocide slide. There are other things to worry about, you know.
Your bad faith argument will not deter me. You are right, there are other things to worry about. I fear for the women in my life that may no longer have access to the reproductive health care they deserve. I fear for my LGBT friends who may no longer have the rights they deserve. I’ll easily turn a blind eye to something happening a half a world away so the people nearest and dearest to me can continue to exist. I hope for the safety of Palestinians - but I will not cut off my nose to spite my face.
Voting for Trump or not voting is a direct threat to the very existence of the Palestinian people. You think you’re making an ethics statement when in reality you’re just ensuring that Netanyahu can finish the job unmolested.

Biden is already giving Netanyahu everything Netanyahu needs to exterminate the Gazans, and I don’t really think it matters if Biden molests Netanyahu while he does it.
If Trump wins, you will find out very fast what the difference between him and Biden is with respect to Isreal/Palestine. There are two possible outcomes in November, and one of them will lead to the absolute extermination of the Palestinian people. If you vote for Trump or you do not vote, you are directly complicit in this.
But frankly, I don’t believe you that you give a shit about Palestinian people. So I’m not going to bother continuing with this.
I don’t know what happened, but Blahaj used to be a good instance. Now it’s just full if dumbass tankies with no grasp of nuance making other progressives look bad.
I mean, I didn’t know Biden was giving handjobs to Netanyahu, but I’m not surprised either.
