    Because Trump is so likely to be a better choice for solving the Israel-Gaza crisis, lol.

      Nobody said that, neither choice is going to solve it so it’s better to abandon both if genocide is a red line for you.

      Who the fuck said anything about Trump? Not sure why you think people dying from American bombs give a fuck about who sent them.

      Can you crawl out of your narrow worldview for just a second and recognize that real people are experiencing a real genocide?

      That’s not some Russian propaganda spin either, but recognized by the ICJ.

          calling it the “Israel-Gaza crisis” implies equivalence. As somebody else notes, not using the word genocide is also a string signal that you don’t believe it’s a genocide. Finally, you’ll used “lol” when talking about a genocide. In short, all evidence in your message suggests that you do not take it seriously.

          If the point of your comment isn’t to minimize suffering and mock people for their political choice, then what is the point of your comment?

        I agree there’s a horrific genocide taking place, aided by the USA, and all Americans should be ashamed of this. But to be fair, the headline indicates these voters will vote against Harris. Either that’s a vote for Trump or a vote for a third party. Either way it increases trump’s likelihood of being elected.

          Democrats chose this hill to die on, not the voters.

          You know what it’s called when voters aren’t allowed to vote for the candidate they desire?

          Ok? There’s a simple solution here for the democrats.

          Let’s not engage in victim blaming here and recognize who has power to end this and who is exercising their right to express their profound and utter disappointment in a political system that is, at best, ambivalent to their suffering.

      When you can’t even call it a genocide of Gazans by Israel you should rethink whether you should even comment.
