It seems to require a lack of critical thinking to avoid voting for Harris because of this since Trump will offer no better alternative.
Harris's position is wrong, of course, but avoiding a Trump presidency is crucial.
54A Trump presidency would be categorically worse for Palestine.
People voting for Stein, rather than Harris, over Palestine are the very epitome of bad critical thinking skills.
A main sponsor of the Green Party this election is Russia (1, 2, 3); Stein opposes US support for Ukraine, and essentially blames Russia's invasion on the US.
14Tell that to Muslim voters, who are split between Harris and Stein, and that can potentially swing Michigan and Pennsylvania.
0That's the challenge the DNC has, isn't it? I wouldn't relish that job since I think Harris' position won't change, the DNC being the institution it is.
I think if I had do, I'd argue that while the DNC is 100% wrong on Palestine, Trump is stronger in his support of Israel, he's even less sympathetic to the Palestinians AND he will aim to make life in America harder for Muslims just as he tried in his first term.
It's a pragmatic choice, not an enthusiastic one, and it's hard to drive voters to the polls on pragmatism alone.

It requires little brain capacity to not support Genocide. Try asking Harris to do that.
-22I would love to. I think Harris' position is abhorrent. But I think Trump is a larger threat to peace in Palestine and Jill Stein will not win. If we take those thoughts one step further, it doesn't make a lot of sense to avoid Harris.
Do you think a Trump presidency will be better or worse for the Palestinians than a Harris administration?
22Terrorists getting rightfully splatted =/= genocide

If Democrats lose Pennsylvania and Michigan because Muslim voters are largely shifting to the Green Party, the Dems will only have themselves to blame.
3This post has had a number of reports. It technically doesn't break any rules, and it's also on -74 votes, so I'm not going to remove it.
1Lemmy has a weird issue with users being extraordinarily upset with posts they don't agree with.
Users can't seem to just downvote them, and move on. They have to use the report button as a super downvote. And pm to the mods to complain about how >:( they are.
-6People here believe that a lie is the truth if told enough times.
Living in an echo chamber without even realising it, is a speciality for people online.
I have not seen a single post on the frontpage critical to anything Harris has said. Not even how she said the house could strip businesses for their patent and give them away. Which wouldn't be a very good idea in the long run.
But good luck in November. I live on the other side of the pond.
