    From NPR’s article:

    “At this time, our movement 1) cannot endorse > Vice President Harris; 2) opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing; and 3) is not recommending a third-party vote in the Presidential election, especially as third party votes in key swing states could help inadvertently deliver a Trump presidency given our country’s broken electoral college system,”

    I’m glad to see they’re not advocating for Trump or a third-party candidate that would help him win the election.

        The only move, really. That should say something about the system, but it still is the only — and right — move.

      1. opposes a Donald Trump presidency, whose agenda includes plans to accelerate the killing in Gaza while intensifying the suppression of anti-war organizing;

      No they fucking don’t. They’re sitting on their fucking hands.

        I’m confused by your statement. As far as I know, Trump has advocated for escalating violence in Gaza and everywhere else.

          Do you have a quote? The only thing I’ve heard Trump say about it is A) the Oct. 7 attack wouldn’t have happened if he were president (lol) and B) he would tell Netanyahu to “end it”. He refuses to elaborate.

          Whether Harris or Trump is president, it won’t matter for the situation in Gaza.

            Here’s one article with a good bit of content for you: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-israel-gaza-finish-problem-rcna141905

            One quote:

            Trump did lay out a few markers in the three weeks that followed the Hamas attack. He said on Oct. 11 that a future Trump administration would “fully support Israel defeating, dismantling, and permanently destroying the terrorist group Hamas,” while telling the Republican Jewish Coalition later that month that Hamas fighters “will burn forever in the eternal pit of hell." That month, his campaign also said that, if elected again, he would bar Gaza residents from entering the U.S. as part of an expanded travel ban.
