    The genocide in Gaza is bipartisan, and the ongoing atrocities are taking place under a democrat administration.

      If it’s bipartisan then you are free to vote based on other issues.

        “we can ignore genocide as long as it’s bipartisan”

          Go fight with Hamas if you’re so emboldened to direct action.

          You won’t, of course.

          Your “totally rational and justified” calls for voting differently surely will fix the situation on the other side of the planet. You’re totally saving the Palestinians!

            the situation on the other side of the planet

            Not so far down the planet when it’s your government funding the genocide, giving the perpetrators their political legitimacy in the international sphere, and literally shipping the weapons with which the genocide is carried out.

            go fight with hamas

            Go make a counter-reactionary terrorist insurgency or political group in the US if you’re so concerned about the other types of rights you’ll lose if Trump gets into office

      Harris has promised to enforce the laws of the US. If she does do, then The Hayes Act would prohibit any arms shipments to Israel. I’m not saying that is definitely what she intends to do, I am saying that is the most diplomatic she can be in the current political climate of the US, and still win, with the intention of deescalation in Israel while still supporting Ukraine.

        The party is literally in the government right now. Biden is a rotting corpse who is obviously not making the decisions for US international policy, so the arm deals with Israel are with the full consent and approval of all the democrat elites. Harris won’t change this as it hasn’t changed for the past 80 years.

            Harris openly said in the DNC convention that she believes in “Israel’s right to defend itself”, while not letting any pro-palestinian talk in the convention (cops had a representative though). It’s painfully obvious.

              Oh no, the person running for POTUS didn’t want protesters at her rally? Why could this be? She must love killing Palestinians because I can’t fathom the image of protesters at a convention would sully her image and hurt her chances at winning.

              Seriously, are you this fucking dense?

                Ok, so if it hurts the party’s image being pro-genocide, they can solve it very easily right now while they’re in government
