No.

Given the restraints (either Dem or Rep will win) the logical thing to do is harm reduction. That is, unless you believe Trump will be better in this regard in which case I don’t think we’ll agree on much.

Now answer mine.

I dont beleive Harris giving Israel a free hand and all the weapons they need to exterminate and starve vs trump giving Israel a similar free hand is a meaningful distinction. Neither do ethnic Arab voters in swing states.

Its inevitable that AIPAC bribes will never change.. Why would they? They will be funding every American election going forward on both sides of the aisle, especially when they are using our own foriegn aid money to bribe us with. This guarantees that the future of American politics will be hand picked candidates from AIPAC, always with truly awful vs slightly less awful, but with everyone supporting whatever Israel wants.

I say NO to that. You should too. Your "harm reduction" is a manipulation to get you to vote for genocide and has been set up by the Israelis to continue their control-by-bribery of America, forever.

You need to take yourself off that crazy train. No one can do it for you. Can you at least ponder it?

I’m not getting an answer am I?

The answer was implicit in what I answered with. You arent considering the greater context.

The meaninglessly short sighted answer is yes, either a dem puppet of Israel will win, or a Repub puppet of Israel will win in this election. And the next election, and all the ones after that.

Nah just “puppet of Israel” reminded me a lot of that article.

Really similar, right? “Both parties are in Israel’s pocket”, “we should totally vote third party”. Really interesting.
