      Great job electing the person to office who’se the best bet for ensuring it goes from attempted genocide to complete extermination. Pat your back for upholding your morales.

        Dude. I actually voted for Kamala. But for God sake just use some empathy for middle eastern community. If I was in their shoes I’d either not vote at all or voted third party. It was a stupid stupid move to put out the message “oh yes we supported the genocide, but look at the other good things we are doing.” Honestly that would piss me off even more.

          They had three options.

          1. Vote for the imperfect candidate who has at least been pushing peace deals and not leaving options off the table to achieve that.

          2. Vote for the candidate who has promised unfaltering support for the aggressor and already proven time and time again they don’t care if non-white people die.

          3. Vote third party, or don’t vote at all, ensuring candidate 2’s unthinking base would go uncontested and lead to outcome #2 anyways.

          There is no fourth option, and there is no option aside from #1 that had a chance of success in terms of ending the genocide and seeing to the needs of the survivors.

          So if there is anyone who really did choose not to vote because the current administration’s policy on Palestine/Gaza and treatment of those people, congratulations on going from anger at someone standing by and not stopping a genocide to 100% ensuring the next person will enable it to completion.

          So again, congratulations on that morale victory, hope they don’t pat themselves too hard on the back while standing next to the bodies.

            No empathy on your side. Clearly you haven’t been in their position. It’s like asking Jews in Nazi Germany to vote for Hitler because the other candidate is somehow worse. Except Hitler already proved himself bad for them and burned their family. They might not vote for the other candidate, but why would the support Hitler?

              I have empathy for them, I have to ask if they have empathy at all. Trump issued a Muslim ban by executive action to get around congress, targetting middle east and african states, then he moved the US embassy in Israel without reciprocating such action for Palestine.

              The choices you’re saying were made and logic behind them do not add up. This isn’t telling Jewish people to support Hitler. This is telling them to vote against Hitler for their sake and others, only for them to not show up to the polls and expect to hide out. Let me check my history books to see how that turned out…

                There IS logic behind not showing up. The choice is impossible. Hitler vs worse Hitler. This is not something you logic through. If the game is rigged, then you don’t play. That’s how it is.

                Also regarding Muslim ban: not the same thing as aiding the genocide. Can’t believe I even have to say it. On the other hand obviously Trump is bad so I call him worse Hitler. I don’t know how you didn’t catch that.

        Yeah that’s right. That’s why people used to vote for Dems. Up until this time when they proved their lack of action. How would you feel if your relatives were dying in middle East and you are the one voting in government that supports it.

            If you play for the side of light and goodness, the you have to be consistent. No tiny genocides are allowed. Clearly that’s not a problem for the side of darkness.

            Either way middle easterns lose, so why play?
