I'd like to think they're all just Russian trolls but increasingly, I think some people are just selfish or dumb.

People refusing to vote for Harris becuase of a foreign conflict they understand nothing about is peak stupidty.
"I completely understand the Palestine/Israel situation, I've watched multiple tiktoks about it!!!!"
Not very hard to understand killing civilians, children and women is a bad thing to do and shouldn't be supported.
Yup! Which is why helping the guy who has encouraged Israel to go harder is a bad thing.
Not very hard to understand.
Some things are worse.
There's really not much to know nor is it a complex conflict. Just like The Troubles, it's a colonial conflict pretending to be sectarian/religious in nature.
ETA: And it should be clear that supporting people who want to support more and greater heights of violence isn't going to help.
Theres a genocide and she is in support of it, not really complicated or hard to fathom.
She's supporting genocide in the same way you are supporting slavery by buying your electronics from China. When are you turning yourself in and going to prison??
Or is this line of reasoning and logic idiotic and unreasonable as you damn well know it is.
Granted, I don't know much about the conflict. I've read about it on Wikipedia and it gets more and more nuanced and complex at every turn.
HOWEVER.
There are candidates who advocate for stopping the killing. This is not a high bar. This is a bar I would like to see Kamala reach.
Why aren't you asking Trump to advocate for stopping the killing?
Hm, honestly, that's a good point. Why is it always Kamala under fire?
It's almost like the frequent commenters in lemmy advocating against either real candidate, or more specifically, against Dems, have ulterior motive besides helping as many Gazians as they can.
Almost like their arguments are in bad faith to achieve a particular political result.
Go figure.
Or their more interested in virtue signaling than fighting for a cause that might keep the world from falling into further chaos.
I think they are just emotionally stunted twats who should let the adults make decisions.
Tbh that's a fair point, although careful what you wish for since that could get him elected
A simple google will provide you with articles like this : Harris says bloodshed in Gaza is devastating, emphasizes support for hostage and ceasefire deals
Meanwhile Trump is calling for the extermination of Palestinians.
GTFO with this double standard both sides bullshit.
If Israel running a war causes you to not vote for the non fascist, you are simply a massive moron, nothing else.
I'm using the general "you" I don't mean you OP
