This is what the people who forgot about Donald Trump say. Trump's presidency was far more rewarding for Israel than either Russia or North Korea; arguably, even more rewarding than the US. This conflict wouldn't have existed without Trump's aid in the first place. If you think Biden or Harris are friends with Netanyahu, you are sorely mistaken.

I'm voting for the person I trust to make a half a promising decision for calmness in the Middle East rather than the one who's guaranteed to gladly trade the lives of Palestinians and Americans in exchange for authoritarianism. And if the person I choose to vote for (wins and) doesn't live up to my expectations, if this person does not aid in Middle East tensions, I'll still sleep well at night knowing how much more traumatic it would have been with the alternative.

I give a shit about this world. I will not be part of the downfall of democracy and the promise of more lives lost and freedoms around this world revoked for the sake of someone's ego and business dealings. I will not throw out my vote.

I'm voting for Harris because I support a free Palestine. Because under Trump, Palestine is guaranteed to disappear.
