Words cannot express what a disappointment Kamala has turned out to be.

Another cut from the same genocidal cloth.

I disappointment suggests you had hope in the first place. I doubt that

I did actually, I thought she might be better than Biden. I even stopped speaking critically of her for the other shit I’m not a fan of (ex. her law enforcement career).

I can bite my tongue for somethings, but not when it comes to genocide. There’s no middle ground to be met on.

Well I'm blissfully unaware of the stranglehold that the Jewish lobby has in American politics. But it seems that there no chance of getting elected when pissing them off.

I'm in favor of actions instead of words. Trump showed us he's deep on Bibi's cock. I hope that securing the election victory maar remove that stranglehold.

Let us not confuse Zionisim with the Jewish religion, please.

Let’s not dismiss the horrors of abrahamic faiths either

I can do one without doing the other. I am an atheist and do not care for religion at all. However, that does not mean I blame Jews for something another group, the Zionists, think and do. Sure there is an overlap and corrolation, but the same is also very much true for the US Christian nut jobs along with others.

If you are going to label people and reject them on the basis of their label, make sure to label them right.

I agree, though it's hard to define s clear dividing line.

Zoom out, look at the bigger picture beyond your single issue

The single issue is called genocide.

It is not negotiable.

Everyone says that about their single issue.

I agree it’s important but other things also exist.

Oh yeah "shut up about your single issue where people are dying because I don't like their tax proposal". Fuck anyone who openly supports genocide like this.

Acknowledging other political issues exist and are at play in this election != supporting genocide and the comparison is fucking stupid.

"in this election" dude this election has been happening since 67' and even before that. The cognitive disonance simply makes you revert to tribal politics and "my side being the only choice uga buga". You are supporting genocide by voting for a candidate that will support genocide and won't do anything about it, or worse will put their hand to it by exporting even more weapons to Israel. That's their policy - that nothing will change. They will "call for a two state solution" when people in Gaza are being displaced, killed in the thousands, their houses and hospitals being bombed regularly.

This is exactly your doing. You don't get a pass because "the other tribe is worse uga buga"

I don’t think Harris has a good stance on Gaza. You’re berating the wrong person.

I do think Harris has the best chance to improve the life of myself and my family.

Both of these ideas can exist. Confusing, I know.

Like you realize your particular style of rhetoric here doesn’t help anyone and just makes you look like a prick, right?

Who am I supposed to help? Explain that to me. You are going to vote for someone who enables genocide. I don't want to help you do that. That's on your conscience - explain it to yourself however you want if you can't live with the truth

Guess you’re in the same position as me, you can’t do anything to help.

You’re going to contribute to an outright fascist that wants to turn Gaza into a parking lot.

Live with that however you want 🤷‍♂️ Only difference is I’m not being a dick to you about it

Lmao you don't know me or what I do and what I don't do. Don't assume shit about people you don't know

gestures broadly to previous comments

So you support genocide?

I literally told you to not assume shit about people and there you go instantly assuming shit about people.
