Muslims Were Reliably Democratic Voters. With US Gaza Policy, That’s Changed.
After the DNC, lingering anger over the war on Gaza signals trouble for Harris in key swing states like Michigan.
Voting for a third party candidate only helps Trump. They might as well just vote for him directly. The outcome is the same and if America and the world are unlucky enough to experience a second Trump term, then these idiots would strongly regret their decision. Palestinians wouldn't be the only ones to suffer from this.
If you're so worried about Trump being elected, maybe you should push for Harris to adopt better policy so people are more comfortable voting for her, rather than shaming people for not wanting to vote for the lesser of two genocides.
A lot of people are both pushing Harris on this issue, and warning that Trump would be far worse.
A lot of us who are worried about Trump getting elected, ie. me who is disabled and bedridden, if I lose Social Security I die, also don’t have the capacity to push Harris much as those who would suffer the most under a Trump term, tend to be the most vulnerable people in society.
People said the same thing four years ago: Vote Biden and then push him to the left.
What we got was another right-wing Democrat who, once they seized power, didn't care to listen to anyone.
I'm going to vote Green. I already know my vote is worthless, so I might as well vote for a party I actually support.
yeah but trump is ready with pogroms for them while harris has none.
They're already happening under Biden. Did you miss a few weeks ago when homelessness was declared illegal? What about a few years ago when it became legal to criminalize abortions? How about when cop cities started becoming a thing under Biden? (And surely you recall when he mocked the Defund movement in his SOTU.)
This isn't a choice between fascist on non-fascist. It's a choice between two flavors of fascism.
One hundred percent this! While what’s happening in Gaza is beyond deplorable, voting third party only serves to shoot these folks in the foot. Not only would Trump promote actual pogroms to kill off the Gazan population en masse (even worse than the current level of violence), but they’ll find themselves the first up against the wall along with LGBTQ+ folks at home if Project 2025 is allowed to proceed.
You could call it shooting oneself in the foot or cutting off their nose to spite their face, but it’s more like voluntarily slitting their own throat and smiling about it because at least they made the floor messy for everyone in the process.
Trump isn't the one being two-faced and funding genocide right now. Biden is. (Or his handlers at least.)
You're right in that the position of both major parties is exactly the same on Israel, but you have to see how Biden's a hard sell at this point objectively.
Voting for a 3rd party especially in swing states to guarantee a trump victory? Is that the goal here? Do they want more aid to Israel and get deported?
pretty sure they want democrats to wake up and change their policies and the only leverage they have is their vote.
The DNC still has time to win over these voters. Does the DNC want to win the election badly enough to stop a genocide?
They're citizens. They can't be deported
Oh you sweet summer child
