Please understand that the democrats are further right than most countries mainstream right wing parties in Europe noone really likes that Germany elected the CDU (politically similar to the democrats) but we're all very pleased that afd didn't get a majority. Vote for the least damaging candidate and work on the system by protesting. Noone thinks Biden and Harris are saints, they're just the least harmful option.

You have to do a lot more than protest.

Yes but inciting violence is generally frowned upon. So I'll let people come to their own conclusions there.

No, but a lot of you seem unwilling to acknowledge that they're genocidal monsters

Wether or not you believe them to be guilty of supporting a genocide, they never publicly said they'd turn Gaza into a beach resort in which Palestinians are not welcome to live. Least harmful option even in the case of Palestine. The correct thing is to vote for Harris and then protest relentlessly to try and get through to them. But now you have a dictator who doesn't care about public opinion as long as he can line his pockets. It probably won't be long before they start shooting protesters so good luck changing anything when that happens.

Typical blueMAGA: only cares about what politicians say, not what they do.

And we did protest relentlessly, the Democrats didn't care.

Ok, well what trump did last time was ban Muslims from entering the country and formally recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the American embassy there. So I'm not really sure what you expected from him this time.

Thanks for those non-sequitors
