    How many thousands of women and children were simply LIVING in their homes when Israel voluntarily and with full knowledge of their civilian presence dropped a 1,000lb JDAM on them to eliminate a singular HAMAS target or two?

    Look I’m voting for Harris but I really, really dislike how she goes into explicit detail on the events of October 7th but doesn’t go into explicit detail on Palestinians crushed, decapitated, blown in half or to bits by explosives, maimed, shot, and yes sometimes raped by IDF.

    This double-standard of evocative imagery is in itself pretty disturbing.

      Fuck the men that didn’t want to die, I guess

    And there it is, colors shown true.

    The US is an oligarchy in everything but name. The average voter doesn’t want this policy, but that’s not what matters for Harris. That’s not what matters in an oligarchy.

    What matters is the few with means, not most.

      The numbers I have seen state that about 60% of Americans support Israel, with 25% unsure which side they support in the conflict.

        60 percent support it’s existence. Support for them blowing up Gaza is far lower. Conflating the two is a common Israeli propaganda theme. Even to declaring that Hamas would genocide them if they didn’t do this.

    If this bothers you then vote for some candidate and party other than Harris and the dems.

    I like PSL.

        I will generally not recommend people vote for or support the greens because they represent a directionless triangulation with no vision.

        I’ve had the opportunity to vote green in every national election they’ve been in and even chosen them a few times and they’ve always let me down.
