    Imagine treating an ethnic cleansing that we’re funding and arming as ‘annoying election rhetoric’ on your social media feed and then wondering why people equate you with the right…

      And in 2 days nobody will care anymore, just like the immigrant caravan or half the other issues that only show up before elections.

      I’m perfectly fine with a rational debate about the issue, this is just stridency to disrupt any debate.

        The migrant caravan was completely made up. The slaughter in Gaza has been happening for over a year with tens of thousands of innocent people blown to pieces and burned alive. Your opinion is disgusting and I see no reason to discuss with you any further.

          And both will disappear tomorrow.

          The suits decide what we care about day to day, and you’re falling for it.

      Do you really think you’re going to get a more favorable result under Trump than under Harris? They are both likely to continue supporting Israel – Harris for political reasons and Trump because Israel can easily funnel money into his businesses to effectively bribe him.

      So logically, if the result is identical either way, it becomes a non-issue in terms of who you vote for. You have to look to other issues in which there is actual differentiation in order to determine the best candidate.

      Any sane person knows genocide is awful and would love a candidate who is willing to stand up to Israel. Any logical person recognizes that we don’t have that luxury and must therefore cast our votes based on other critical factors, of which there are plenty.

      Supporting Harris does not equate to supporting Israel or their genocide.
