Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Harris is not in power either. She does not set or implement policy. You do know what the powers of the Vice President are, yes?

Are you telling me thst a vice president which one of it's function is to be advisor to the president shouldn't have part of the responsability?

Not unless you know what she's advised him of, no. Or are you under the impression that he has to do what people who advise him say?

If the government support a genocidal terrorist state then anybody in the government has the responsibility to resign

Okay, well that's not going to happen. So the choice is going to be Trump or Harris and to suggest that we can't know where Trump stands on Israel compared to Harris is either dishonest or highly ignorant.

The fact is that both of them are on the wrong side of this genocide, so they have to be chosen by other criteria. "Just don't vote for either of them" is not an answer. That's also not going to happen for most voters.

That's not one of the functions of the vice president actually.
