    Harris is not in power either. She does not set or implement policy. You do know what the powers of the Vice President are, yes?

        Not unless you know what she’s advised him of, no. Or are you under the impression that he has to do what people who advise him say?

            Okay, well that’s not going to happen. So the choice is going to be Trump or Harris and to suggest that we can’t know where Trump stands on Israel compared to Harris is either dishonest or highly ignorant.

            The fact is that both of them are on the wrong side of this genocide, so they have to be chosen by other criteria. “Just don’t vote for either of them” is not an answer. That’s also not going to happen for most voters.

              Actions don’t reflect what biden and his administration says they just more hypocritical about palestine. I don’t believe in the two lesser of evil when it comes to palestine. Major changes don’t happen overnight, and things don’t change when people say it’s futile and will never happen. With a similar mentality of we shouldn’t vote for a third option, countries like india wouldn’t get rid of british after 200 years and 100 millions dead indian

                How about when it comes to literally every other thing in this election? Like persecution of queer people or deportation of migrants or just whether or not someone is going to be a dictator?

                Literally none of that matters? Fuck it? Let the queer people and Latinos get marched into camps because there’s no difference between them on Israel?

                    And I’m specifically saying their positions on Gaza are not really relevant to the election since they’re both on Israel’s side. You don’t seem to agree, so explain to me which one has the position I should favor on the matter.
