People either don't seem to understand, or are pretending not to understand for political purposes, that Harris has a very thin line to toe until the election. If she says anything strongly in either way regarding Israel/Palestine, she will lose.

Anyone telling you that she is worse than Trump on the issue is a goddamn liar

edit: I scanned over the she modifier sorry. yes that would be true. but shes no better either.


remains relevant to others in the thread.

She may lose either way; and you're an idiot if you think people who are disgusted by us supplying weapons to the genocidal regime in israel are worse than trump.

  1. if you're in a swing state vote harris
  2. if you're in a democratic bastion feel free to vote third party, dont worry the majority of the liberal lemmings will vote for harris.
  3. let your reps know you don't support arming israel while they're actively committing a genocide and refusing to commit to a cease fire which is against our laws and harris if she wants to claim is in favor of upholding the law needs to back.

I'd rather put boots on the ground to defend israel than let them continue a genocide of hundreds of thousands of innocents.

I'd add 2a: Even if you don't vote for president be sure to vote down-ballot. You can just leave the president section blank. But don't be tempted to write in someone because that may invalidate your entire ballot.

Writing in a name won't invalidate a ballot, at least not in any state i'm aware of, what lead you to say that? genuinely curious.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

In some states a write in has to be registered as a candidate for the write in to work.

At least that’s how it worked when I lived in MD.
