In a few months, Joe Biden will still be complicit in Israel’s child-killing operation and we’ll all still be mocking the people who defended or ignored it for the cowards they are.
You didn’t vote for anyone. If you actually cared about not supporting genocide, you could’ve voted third party.
Anyways, my point was that Trump isn’t going to be any better for Palestine. And yet, you’re accusing Harris voters of supporting genocide, when they just wanted to prevent the other atrocities Trump is committing elsewhere.
Most people never defended or ignored it. They simply believed Trump to be a worse choice, and not voting to be equivalent to not caring which choice is chosen.

“No your honor, I was not beating that person, I was merely moving my arm up and down in a beating sort of motion. If that resulted in that person being beaten, thats simply not my fault”
Come on now @feathercrown, There needs to be a reconning with the Dem leadership having funded a genocide in order for things to move forward. Or we can continue marching toward our own extinction. You’re trying to win elections here, that means swaying large groups of people-- not pointing fingers on social media posts.
And as to your other assertion:
not voting to be equivalent to not caring which choice is chosen
OR, people wouldnt actively participate in immorality of that magnitude. Both candidates obviously broke major laws and so are criminals who belong behind bars, at minimum. We should all be insisting our laws be followed rather than simply gaming for the criminal wearing our parties colors to win. This isnt football. But hey, keep following your plan, its working so well.
A people are a nation. I thought we had agreed that we are a nation of laws?
I wrote a very long response but it appears to have vanished into the ether when I sent it so I’ll summarize here: Don’t assume how I vote, and voting is a relative choice, not a wholehearted personal endorsement. I legitimately believe Trump to be a bigger threat on the whole than Harris would be, to Palestine, Ukraine, and the US itself. Not voting isn’t choosing “none of the above”, and makes you complicit in the result that everyone else has chosen, since you have not reduced the chance of either candidate winning. The only legitimate protest against two equally bad options is voting third party. That’s all the points with none of the arguments, so if you disagree, I can explain in more detail.
I used to criticise people for voting third party but after gaining a greater understanding of the democratic party’s flaws I now agree that it’s justified. The better question is, do you believe it’s better? Don’t let people bully you out of making such an important civic choice. I think the benefits over not voting are pretty clear: You signal that you’re an active voting member who cares about politics and are available to vote if a party changed their positions enough, but that you don’t currently approve of what they’re doing. And you help contribute to the currently negligibly small chance of a third party being elected.
Also, fun fact, Nevada actually does have a “None of these candidates” ballot option!
Hey what’s it feel like seeing Trump come down on Israel and end the genocide you spent the last year telling folks like me to shut up and accept?
Get back to me in a few months

Good thing I didn’t vote for him…

If I vote third party people criticize me for that too 🤷
They don’t put ‘none of the above’ on ballots or I’d happily choose it.
