      One will actively aid in the genocide, the other may not. There’s two options, one is better than the other. You can piss and moan all you want about it, but that’s reality. Don’t vote out of protest if that gets your rocks off, but it won’t do any good for Palestine.

                  The adviser, Phil Gordon, said on social media on Thursday morning that Ms. Harris would “always ensure Israel is able to defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups.” He added: “She does not support an arms embargo on Israel. She will continue to work to protect civilians in Gaza and to uphold international humanitarian law.”

                  Which part of that is pro genocide? In my opinion, I would like a stronger stance against Israel, but defending allies against attack and fighting to defend Gaza are not what you’re claiming. Perhaps they will end up as empty words, but your claims are baseless as of right now. If Harris was already president, maybe you have an argument, but until then it’s pure speculation.

                    Lmao. Supplying arms to israel while they are currently using them for genocide is participating in genocide.
