The supreme court made reference to the Gaza protests in their ruling making it illegal for homeless people to be homeless.

I am all for your cause and am 100 against Isreal and their genocidal behavior. At the same time we are under attack here at home and if we lose the fight, that is the 2024 election, there won't be a Gaza to argue about. Please understand!

Are you advocating a Trump vote or am I misinterpreting?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

How would I be advocating a trump vote? The GOP lead supreme court made it illegal for homeless people to sleep in public spaces. The supreme court referenced Gaza protestors sleeping in public spaces as another party whos rights they are willing to violate with their cruel 6-3 ruling.

I am against what isreal is doing. If we lose this election the GOP has made it clear they would escalate things in the region. Fighting the GOP right now comes before everything else.

If it's not clear. Trump is the GOPs candidate.

Uber-liberal Gavin Newsom of California, is immediately leveraging that supreme court ruling to threaten state funding for any city or county that doesn't clear homeless camps.

All made possible by a GOP lead supreme court. Which is the direct result of poor voter turn out in 2016.

If you don't want the country to move further right you have to first vote left.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I've been voting left since 1996.

Oh, then my job here is done.
