    Why waste time doing so if you’ll get screwed regardless?

    So the solution to this is to sit home knowing full well that benefits the man who is literally campaigning on the promise to screw you harder?

      You argue that because you see a difference between them, but for marginalized peoples they are the same.

        It’s sad you can’t see how false that is because of how recent events have unfolded. It’s like you’ve just now looked at politics for the first time. You’re so concerned with the marginalized people on the other side of the world you’d let it happen here out of short-sighted spite.

        RIGHT NOW, a strict Christian fundamentalist was elected speaker by the GOP. Given further empowerment, he would cause more harm to marginalized people and much of the populace. He has declared his intentions. This will not help the people of Gaza if that’s really your only concern.

        This is the pure definition of voting against your own interests. And you seem to be perfectly OK with that.

        Someone who doesn’t see a difference between them is an absolute idiot. It should be very obvious that with Trump, Palestinians would be in a much worse situation. He’d tell Israel they need to go even further or order the US military to also bomb Gaza.

        Marginalized peoples are the ones who most understand these differences. Champagne socialists aren’t going to see a difference. Rich white straight people don’t stand to lose anything.
