Well, if you're not white, Trump's party is not going to help you either. Have you even been watching the news these last eight years? How do you think fascism works?

This is exactly what I was pointing out, dude. You asked how there was a debate, I showed you the debate from the perspective who may be having it themselves (I'm not Palestinian, btw, I'm a white trans veteran, so I don't need a lecture on fascism or any of your moral grandstanding, thank you).

Your response is to immediately dismiss all of it.

Have you even been watching the news these last eight years?

Have you been following the voiced and vocal outcry from the Arab community via their protest vote movement? Or any other actions taken to silence the voices of anyone who tries to publicly bring attention to the Palestinian Genocide? Actions taken against them during a Democrat presidential administration on both college campuses and public and private forums?

This is clearly something that is very important to people, and you're doing exactly what I pointed out:

Condescending to me as if I don't understand the two options, while refusing to understand why this demographic may not want to vote for a party that's demanding their vote while giving them the middle finger.

I'm not attacking you, and I'm voting Harris, and will continue to encourage others to do so as well. But to act like "tRuMp BaD FaScIsM" is enough for the Democrats to keep riding on is delusional. If our issues don't matter, what difference does it make what form of government fucks us over?
