Not voting for Trump or Harris. Either one of them gives you president Netanyahu.
Who exactly do you plan on voting for that will prevent that? Remember, candidates that lose elections don't get a say in policy, so if they don't win their positions don't matter.
It is simple, if the Democrats want the votes they stop the genocide, if they don't stop the genocide they get no votes. Maybe if they lose the next time around they would be more willing to listen and acknowledge our grievances. But to accept the genocide just because the genocider is a Democrat is not an option.
The way I see it: conservatives will always support the genocide, but liberals will only support it if a Democratic president was complicit. We need to make it costly to support even if the president was Democratic.
The way to send a clear message is to vote Uncommitted or third party -but not RFK Jr.-. Not voting is the wrong way to go about it, and voting Republican sends the wrong message of supporting the genocide. The Democrats need to know that they lost votes because of their genocidal tendencies.
Soo, the Democrats lose the vote and then the Republicans help Netenyahu "finish the job". What kind of psychopath logic is that? "You're not doing enough to stop Israel, so we're helping your opponent who can't wait to help Israel. Palestinian lives are just political pawns anyway". Mentally sick.
“If Blinken and the US administration would have liked this war to be over, this war would be over. Continuing to supply Israel with weapons and to beg Israel to stop the war is quite a farce. This is not international relations, this is a children’s game.” – Gideon Levy, Haaretz
Your vile ad hominem attacks just confirm your tacit racism against Palestinians and their supporters. I am not wasting time with a bigot. Read, reread then reread once more what Gideon Levy said. Biden, Blinken, Harris and the Democrats had 10 months to stop it and purposefully chose not to. They are guilty of the genocide and deserve no vote.
That's convenient, because I'm not wasting my time with a genocide accelerationist. I actually care about Palestinian lives, I don't just see them as political pawns, you monster.
Remember that Harris and Trump don't get a say either. Netanyahu rules them.
That’s because you’re not voting for the president of Israel. Tough concept I know
