it wouldn't. it just sucks that the US is funding genocide and no one seems to care.
I think people do care a lot, but this is the worst election to protest or shut down because of it. I know people always say that but in this case its true.
Either way the people of Gaza have a much better chance if Trump is decisively defeated. Again, Trump is closely aligned with Netanyahu, and has said the IDF needs to "finish the job". I would think people would be motivated to vote against him.
In this thread, I simply pointed out that she dodged the question about Gaza, and I was bombarded with replies about how I am endorsing Trump. This says to me that Beehaw is more scared of Trump than they care about the Palestinian genocide, bc y'all refuse to even have a conversation about this.
I don't disagree that Trump will be worse for the Palestinians. But I do disagree that things will be significantly better under Harris. 17000 dead children under Biden-Harris foreign policy, and Harris has given no indication that she will deviate from Biden's policy on Israel.
Yes, no kidding people are more afraid of Trump. He wants to dismantle democracy and install himself and Christian facists. He wants to arrest and deport "dissidents", citizens and non-citizens, millions of people.
Are you implying Americans are complicit in genocide if they vote against their country becoming a violent facist state? (especially when when Trump, would also 100% make things worse in Gaza. He is a known islamaphobe, and has called for Netanyahu to "finish the job" etc). This is why people are getting pissy.
There is absolutely a better chance of a new approach with Harris than with Trump, and to say otherwise is not based in reality.
