You do realize how congress works, right? If Trump wins, the house is probably going to stay red, and the Senate could easily flip to red as well. Then, all Trump has to do is say the word and suddenly the schedule for bombing Palestine has changed.
You did defend Trump, covering your eyes and plugging your ears over it doesn't help.
I'm not going to continue to explain the basics of US politics and government to you. If you can't understand how electing Trump or voting for a third party hurts Palestine, then it's hopeless to continue to try. You are a lost cause, single issue voter. I don't care if you care who I'm voting for, because you can't seem to grasp the basics of politics in general. I'm voting for her because if I don't, I will lose my own rights and be unable to help those who have already lost theirs.
The genocide is bipartisan though, look at the voting records of congress. They are going to agree regardless, the anti-genocide faction is a minority of the DNC.
Quote me and show me, this is libel.
I understand that's why you're voting for her, I just wish you'd stop pretending she's better than Trump on Palestine despite them supporting the same policies.
I'm very aware it's bipartisan, do you think that there are no progressives in congress? Also, that kind of defeats your own logic - since congress is bipartisan and will continue to vote for more weapons to Israel, Trump will not stop a single shipment and will actively lobby congress members to create more bills for more weapons. That is exactly the point people are trying to get inside your head: that Trump will only accelerate the shipments. You're so close to realizing the truth, but I doubt you'll do it.
I'm not going to continue to explain to you how US politics work and how single issue voting supports Trump. That's on you, it's not libel if you just can't understand politics. Keep supporting him by proxy though, I'm sure that will end well for Palestine.
She is status quo, and therefore better than Trump who is worse than status quo in every subject. She's not better for Palestine in general, but she is better than Trump for Palestine.
Anyway, I'm done explaining the basics to you. You know who I'm voting for, and I know you'll throw your vote away to empower Trump, so at least we're on the same page there.
The number of anti-Genocide democrats is low enough that they don't make a material impact on weapon shipments, the Zionists have enough votes to pass what they want. It's a zero-sum deal, either the shipments pass or they don't, and with a super-majority the Zionists are uncontested regardless.
Neither will Kamala.
This is goofy, the US only has so many bombs, and shipments are set by Congress. Is he going to pay out of pocket to increase shipments?
