At the same time, what has happened in Gaza over the past 10 months is devastating. So many innocent lives lost, desperate, hungry people fleeing for safety over and over again. The scale of suffering is heartbreaking. President Biden and I are working to end this war such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.
The whole situation in Israel/Gaza is a mess. Innocent people are getting hurt on both sides. There are bad people doing horrible things on both sides. Real life is not a movie where the bad guys all conveniently wear the same uniform. Only children think the world is that simple. But hey, assuming the solution is simple saves you from hurting yourself by thinking about what is an incredibly complicated state of affairs.
Personally, I would prefer a president who acknowledges the complexity of the situation over one who thinks the world operates like we’re living in children’s book.
Trump, who routinely touts his support of Israel more broadly, has reportedly said he supports Israel in its continued “war on terror” after the October 7 attack by Hamas.
This part always seems to be forgotten every time this comes up. Voting for Trump won’t suddenly stop it. He’ll either send just as much or more.
You think you’re so clever because your meme doesn’t say vote for Trump, but do you really think that we’re that stupid that we wouldn’t recognise a post designed to suppress the Democratic vote and enable Trump to win?
If you actually cared about the genocide in Gaza AT ALL you would be doing everything in your power to stop Donald “best president for Israel in the history of the world” Trump and the Republican literally-write-“Finish-them”-on-Israeli-bombs Party winning.
But you don’t actually care about Gaza at all, you just care about keeping left leaning folks from voting.
Well, if you put it in the picture then it must be a good argument.

Just because one side is not 100% perfect doesn’t mean you have to support the side that is 100% bad. If you’re waiting for the perfect candidate who matches your beliefs on all point before voting you’ll never get to vote.
Look, I don’t like Kamala either and I think continuing to supply weapons is awful, obviously. But she’s the only realistic option at this point. You can still protest the genocide in Gaza AFTER the election (and I fully support you doing so, Hell I might even meet you at one), but look at it this way: if Kamala wins, you at least have a chance to make a change over there, but if Trump wins again, every Palestinian is as good as dead. Do I like either option? No! Do I think our elections are a good system? No! Am I going to vote for Kamala anyway? Yes! Because at this point, the choice is between shooting ourselves in the foot or in the temple
Kamala has promised to keep supplying weapons for the Genocide. There’s no denying it anymore.
Kamala Harris:

Wow. Amazing argument. Such eloquence.
Quote the weapons embargo in the paragraph
Again, overly simplistic solution to a complicated problem. Something a child would come up with, not the potential president of the US.
Got it so Democrat voters endorse sending weapons to israel for Genocide. Glad you are honest about it.
It must be wonderful to live in a world that is so simple, even if it’s just a fantasy.
A suit and tie.
Plenty of good people wear a suit and tie. Plenty of bad people wear something else.
So did Trump.
This part always seems to be forgotten every time this comes up. Voting for Trump won’t suddenly stop it. He’ll either send just as much or more.
Look at the text on the bottom left of the meme
Look at the last two sentences I wrote.
Look at the first reply
I did. Has nothing to do what I wrote. Pointing out Trump isn’t some hero of Gaza isn’t a “But Trump” anything.
So, go back and read what I wrote. Or would you like a “But Trump” comment?
Where did the post say vote for trump
US presidential elections are a zero sum gain.
Look at the meme, and see the connection between our and your original post. You are the one who posted both.
I did where’s the Trump part

You don’t have to post 3 paragraphs to justify Democrats committing Genocide.
Well, if you put it in the picture then it must be a good argument.

Why are there only two viable political parties?
It’s a result of the “first past the post” voting system used in the US. It naturally leads to a two party system.
Which presidential candidate won’t?
Claudia De La Cruz
She’s in the presidential election, but she’s not a presidential candidate when she’s on the ballot in 9 states.
You can write her in, can’t you?
In 3 states.
Increasing over time.
In a better world it would be awesome to have her as a realistic candidate. But the shitty deal is that we probably have make it a better word first.
How do you suggest we make a better world?
First past the post with electoral college has to be replaced.
