You make it sound like Harris has a monopoly on genocide. Trump has made it quite clear he will increase the amount of genocide compared to the Biden s administration.
Harris made it quite clear she will support the Genocide just as hard as Trump.
Was she part of the administration that repealed the restrictions on Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory, or the one that reinstated them? Did Netanyahu name a settlement after her in Golan Heights as a way of thanking her for repealing the restrictions?
Did she say that Israel needs to finish the job and stop recording proof of bombings, or did she say she supports a ceasefire so the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom and self determination?
Yeah. Just as hard.
No she's part of the administration doing the literal Genocide on Palestinians.
I'm sure you care so much about Jerusalem though.
Why would you assume that? I’m agnostic, not that I owe you any explanation.
Then why doesn't youre "meme" say that?
The meme is using the pretend red line from Democrats in 2016/2020. Gosh darn racism they care so much about that. Can't comprehend anyone voting for it.
Genocide? Nah that's fine.
Just like all elections it's unfortunate that your vote is as strong as mine.
So no comeback got it.
Okay, then if there's really only a choice between the two and they both support genocide just as much as the other, genocide doesn't really have any impact on whether you should vote for one or the other and maybe vote for the one who isn't racist, isn't a fascist, isn't an idiot, isn't going to die of a heart attack in office, and doesn't have a couchfucker as a VP.
Jill Stein supports a full arms embargo on israel. The race certainly isn't between Genocide or Genocide.
You vote for Jill Stein and Trump or Kamala will still be president and nothing changes for Israel. But at least you will feel better.
Actually if Jill Stein gets 5% of the votes then Greens will get $10 million in funding for their 2028 campaign so it definitely changes things.
after this election where Trump or Harris will be president. Will very likely be too late to do anything for Palestine in 4 years, which will be no guarantee of a third party option either.
All the while Trump may be in office because 5% of the vote went to Stein instead of harris and now not only.palestine suffers but also women, black and Hispanic Americans, the lower to middle class, and the lgbtq+ community.
All the more reason to get everyone to vote for Green then since Harris and Trump will make certain of the destruction of Palestine.
I fully support getting rid of the two party system, but at this point in time it's a fantasy. Maybe next election when Trump isn't going to be the consequences is where Jill Stein can get her votes.
Unfortunately the Republicans may find someone even worse than trump next time.
