Given her opponent will absolutely speed up that genocide, anyone worried about it should shut the fuck up until after Harris is actually president.

After she's elected when the voters have the least amount of leverage? Before an election is the best time to be loud about things. Actually before a primary is probably the best time, but you get the drift.

Her opponent will do the exact same amount of Genocide. Harris is warmongering to attack Iran just like Trump.

The only thing Holocaust Harris will do it is word her war crimes a little nicer.

And then... Israel gets to genocide Gaza for four more years? People need to realize that if US policy on Gaza doesn't change soon, a significant fraction of the Gazan population (more than the already significant 1 out of 10-20 anyway) will die. There is currently a full blown famine in Gaza and it can't wait for the next election.

its a dance between the electorate and the elected. nobody should be shutting up about anything - even the insane trumpets. sanity has no special disposition on this planet and, if you want your particular flavor of reality implemented, scream about it and then make it happen.

we are exactly in this position because not enough people were involved in the process to begin with. please don't hate-shame people out of it again.
