It’s funny you say that. I am usually a proponent of third party candidates, as my post history shows no doubt. I even voted for her in 2016.
That was the election we got trump elected if you recall.
I also later found out about her ties to Russia Today and to attending the Russian gala the year before.
Her excuse on the matter was weak. I will defend anyone’s wish to vote third party as i don’t believe in the Democratic Party at all. However i would recommend against it until a change in voting system.
That doesn’t mean i accept any bullshit from the DNC just because they are not trump, such as giving Israel cover to commit genocide.
From what i saw Kamala has said that she does believe Israel has a right to defend themselves. But the how is important. This tells me that she would not be up for permitting genocide, but who knows until tested.
Good on you for not voting for Hillary. You did the right thing. It's because of that Democrats have already ditched Biden. They have now learned they need to pander to progressives to win.
The problem is that they believe they can keep it to pandering without actually doing anything.
As for Kamala, she's as much of a corporate ghoul as Biden
Yea, not good, but still not genocide, at least directly… but her stance on other issues are acceptable. Her claims about justice reform are a little suspect, but she has backed Bernie Sanders in a number of things, whom i ideologically most align with, if not float a little further outside left.
I am still critical of the DNC but… Kamala Harris must beat trump. Jill Stein just isn’t in position to achieve that goal.
It's direct Genocide. Democrats are already bombing Yemen. Providing diplomatic cover, all the weapons to commit Genocide and threatening anyone who wants to stop it with destruction. It is nothing less than direct involvement.
On a scale of responsibility I'd even put the Democrats above Netanyahu. There is nobody more responsible for the Genocide than Democrats. This would happen without Netanyahu, but it could not happen without the Democrats..
Trump will be a repeat of 2016. Not great but the world won't end like all the liberals are pretending.
In the end if you're not wiling to use your vote for leverage the Democrats will know once and for all they can sell it to the highest bidder for anything. Genocide included.
