    If you didn’t vote or voted for a candidate with no path to victory over Gaza/Palestine then you never cared that much about Gaza/Palestine.

    I promise you every Palestinian is very, very upset Donald Trump is running the show and slobbing on Netanyahu’s knob.

      If you wish to share this or any other opinion expressed by an actual Palestinian or person who can speak to their opinion through first hand knowledge, please share.

      Otherwise, please recognize that they are not characters in a fictional story for you to write your own opinions onto. They are human beings desperately fighting to be heard and have their agency respected.

      This assumes that every election is independent - which they are not. The ‘lesser evil’ is to lock democrats out of power until they run non-genocidal candidates. The short term sucks, but in the long term it is much much better.

        Again, one man’s “the short term sucks” is another man’s “and in that short term, my family was murdered by fascists”

        It’s easy to be flippant with someone else’s life.

          The lessons of the 1940s again. Many brave patriots gave their lives, then as now, in the fight against genocide.

            Yes but you’re just a fucking loser on the internet, not some dude charging the Germans at Normandy. Grow the fuck up, kiddo.

                    The Democrats forced you to be a keyboard warrior?

                    Now I know you’re a Republican plant. That’s the same “I’m not responsible for my own shit” attitude behind every Republican, man.
