    wild to me how many people are upset by “i find genocide unacceptable and won’t vote for anyone who has it as part of their policies”

    they treat it as if it’s some kind of insane opinion and not, like, the bare fucking minimum in terms of ethics???

    If everyone would simply ignore the genocide, we could all eat brunch while the bombs fell eternally over in some other country, which is fine. /s in case it wasn’t obvious

      we joke here; but that’s literally what the hasbara narrative seems to be on reddit like platforms.

      comments deriding liberals for not voting for kamala harris are followed up by snarky comments denigrating people for showing concerns about the genocide and ethnic cleansing.

    Y’all our foreign policy towards Israel hasn’t changed in the last 65 years. Yes, both sides serve them.

    So we have to strip that out of the system, since burning the system down doesn’t seem feasible.

    Which party do you think is most likely to see the light on them… hmm

      Or we can be part of making that a condition of the democrats doing well. Not supporting a genocide isn’t something we can or should “strip out” of our expectations of politicians. If you’re right, then burning the system down is the only feasible thing. Nothing else is feasible.

      It’s infeasible to expect decent people to rally around genocidiers.

      Don’t let the people with power tell you what is or isn’t feasible. Not supporting a genocide is easy for them. They may lie to themselves about it, but it’s obvious.
