Politics Comm can't understand why people don't like Harris running right at every opportunity. Must just be bad actors wanting trump to win cause they're critical. Or just upset DNC is sprinting right after convention

    The Democrats refuse to do any of the obvious things it would take to fix that shit. All you're doing is rewarding them for genocide.

    Abortion bans are terrible. They're still not as heinous as literal genocide. They're still easier to solve and fight than genocide, in ways jat are obvious to anyone with a little spine and creativity.

    Let's flip the script a little:

    "I gotta say, I am so fucking angry about the genocide that the scumbag Democrats are committing, that I will vote (Republican) to keep the Democrats out of power no matter what. As much as I hate the Republicans, Trump, and their rapist policies in the US, I also hate the Democrats who materially support the same policies PLUS support genociding Palestinians.

    Vote PSL, vote Green, or don't vote at all. If you choose to vote for genocide then you send rhe message that genocide is ok, make yourself complicit, and deserve whatever resulting karmic punishment comes your way.

    Have some fucking solidarity. If you hate Republicans that much then find a way to hurt them that doesn't involve empowering Nazis.

      except the difference is that republicans ALSO support the genocide in palestine. making your analogy inaccurate.

      I have solidarity with the women who can't get abortions, and exercise it one way that takes 5 minutes, by voting for the party that can feasibly win and supports abortion rights. there is no viable option in the presidential election to have solidarity with palestinians and with women, unfortunately. I will have to express my solidarity with palestinians outside of the ballot box.

        The Democrats also support abortion bans. They had a chance to codify abortion rights under Obama but didn't. They stood by as Republicans restricted abortion access in many states even before the Dobbs decision. They've had control of the presidency since 2021 and haven't done anything to fix the Supreme Court stacking.

        Democrats would rather use abortion as a fundraising cudgel than do anything about it.

        Doesn't sound like you have solidarity with Palestinian women.
