So Trump gets elected, the genocide gets 10x worse, the right allows Israel to completely demolish Palastine and take their land.
Kamala gets elected, genocide might continue for a while, but at least we have time and still have a democracy and the chance to vote in people who will condemn genocide.
There is an effectively zero chance of any third party candidate winning the election, so if you care so much about genocide, throwing your vote away to third party where you would have otherwise voted for Kamala is essentially taking away a vote from Kamala and giving it to Trump, supporting even further genocide.
Any questions?
Why would it get worse, materially, let alone 10 times? Harris has promised to never cease giving Israel bombs to "defend itself," what's Trump going to do to make it worse?
Spoiler: there will not be that candidate. Next election in 4 years, if there are any Palestinians left, there will still be 2 Zionist candidates representing the DNC and GOP, and the anti-genocide candidates will be 3rd parties with little to no chance of winning.
Because Republicans are entirely fans of Israel and would do anything to help them... This is common information, have you been living under a fucking rock? Republicans have repeatedly shown that they will help Israel.
Nobody knows that for sure. If people care about it, they will run for office. It sounds like you prioritize the presidential elections and ignore local elections, because those are what matter in getting "that candidate".
As are the DNC, are you living under a rock?
Ah, the "vibe a candidate that can take the office from an incumbent out of thin-air" approach. And no, local elections are far more consequential, not sure where you think I suggested otherwise.
The third parties have 0 chance of winning. So which is better? Kamala, who might actually listen to the public, or Trump, who won't listen and will do whatever he wants to Palestine?
Neither, both support the bipartisan US foreign policy of genocide. Harris will not "listen to the public," she will listen to the fact that the US needs Israel to keep the Middle East tied up and secure the Petro-Dollar as the World's Currency.
Neither Trump nor Harris will cease the genocide.
Did I say that she would cease the genocide? Do you always just put words in other people's mouths? That's a poor strategy for getting people to listen to you.
Palestine will continue to be genocided. Do you want the genocide to go faster (Trump) or stay at the same speed? If you want it to go faster, you can just say to vote for Trump (and a vote for a third party will give power to those voting for Trump, so the same result).
How is Trump going to make it worse? This is a bipartisan genocide, is him being in office going to make the scheduled bomb shipments magically more powerful?
No, but he has full power to be able to alter the schedule to send more bombs. That's the point that you can't seem to realize - he hates Palestine and would love to get closer with the nationalists in Israel. He would do everything in his power to allow more and more shipments from our bottomless inventory of weaponry.
Do you want the Zionists to be given bombs more often? Because voting for Trump or a third party will get you there.
How will he do this, materially? Congress sets the shipments, is he going to personally buy more bombs and send them via UPS? Is his personal hatred going to magnify the power of the bombs sent? If Kamala cries while sending bombs, do they misfire more frequently?
Correct, same as the DNC.
They are not fully Zionist (there are multiple progressive reps in congress), and if you think that they're the same as the GOP on this then you are either not from the US or are not aware of how US politics work. And if you are living here in the US, I'm sorry that our education system failed you and that you are being taken advantage of by the GOP. I hope you'll retrospect and realize that single issue voting is not the play and only serves to hurt those around you. But you probably won't, you'd rather cry and put your head in the sand while you and Palestine get shit on by the GOP.
How many anti-Zionists are in the DNC, and why haven't they been able to get anything done under Biden already?
Palestine will get shit on by the DNC and GOP, they are aligned on this.
Trump won't do whatever. He has said in the debate that he will let Israel finish the job. That's not ambiguous.
