They support a genocidal cop as their presidential candidate.
"I am concerned about the genocide in Palestine, so I am going to take actions that will clearly make things much worse for the people in Palestine because that is the ethical thing to do!"
It really shows that feeling morally superior is more importantly to them than actually getting results. Harris has some genocide, so let's help Donald "Finish the Job" Trump win and have lots of genocide. My protest vote sure helped the Palestinians!
Genocide is bad, but apparently genocide isn't bad enough to take a simple action that will prevent it getting worse.
Never said they would. But realistically you have to acknowledge that a third party candidate has no chance of winning this election. If your only concern is Palastine then not voting for Harris actively makes things worse for the people in Palastine, even if Harris is not doing enough to help them. Your options are bad, or worse.
If you're trying to build support for third party candidates for future elections then don't give me any bullshit about Palastine, because that will not help them in any way.
That was literally your argument: https://lemmy.ca/post/28969976/11652757
My God, give it a rest.
You're an idiot with the laziest opinions I've ever seen and you. Can't. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
Grow up, read some books and come back in a few years when you find an adequate mood stabilizer ffs.
