    That’s not really a valid question since it would never happen. Like Trump specifically, the US will always try to keep its hands clean of such actions. Yeah we’ll send them nukes all day long, but we’re not “responsible” because we didn’t actually launch them. However Harris sanctioning a strike on Gaza is nothing different than Trump has already stated, so a vote for either candidate wouldn’t change that outcome. On the other hand, Trump absolutely has done far more damage domestically, and promised to do even worse if he gets elected again, so I’m still in the party of “anyone but Trump”.

      I never thought Biden would hardline this much on a straight genocide yet here we are.

      But answer the question honestly. If Harris said she would Nuke Gaza as well would you vote for someone else?

        It’s not a simple question, I would have to know the circumstances that lead to such a drastic situation, who was running against her, and what realistic chance any 3rd-party candidate had of getting the votes from others. The reality is that it’s not something that is ever going to occur because even Trump isn’t senile enough to forget that such an action would incur the wrath of other NATO members. You can play what-if games all day long, but unless you create an entire imaginary world to go with your implausible scenario, you’re not going to get any legitimate answers.
