    So, in other words, you want the Palestinians to just die, huh? I’m impressed. Not only are you throwing vulnerable Americans under the bus, but also those protesting Israel’s actions, and the Palestinians themselves.

    Be honest with yourself. You don’t give a damn about the Palestinians or any brown people. You just want to use them to score political points. And as a brown person myself, I find that utterly despicable.

    Trump told donors he will crush pro-Palestinian protests, deport demonstrators

    Trump has waffled on whether the Israel-Gaza war should end. But speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, he said that he supports Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror.”

    “Israel, Trump argued, needs his help. Street demonstrations for Israel get smaller crowds than his rallies, he said.”

      No, I don’t. Biden isn’t doing anything to stop it anyway. I want something to vote FOR rather than just voting against something I don’t want. Biden is not earning my vote right now.

        Trying to prevent more Palestinians from dying isn’t something to vote for?

        Look, I understand what you’re saying. It would feel a lot better to vote for a candidate instead of voting against another one. But we don’t have that luxury right now. We need to beat back the regressive rot first and foremost.

          We cannot make progress while still so many accept the situation. This system will not allow change while the electoral college still exists. We need ranked choice voting and popular vote. Voting for Biden did not prevent Palestinians from dying, clearly. I’ll never forget that we could have had Bernie Sanders as president, and we missed that opportunity due to greed.
