Is this a Nazi troll or Hasbara... oh. Same thing.
Or really really shitty joke/sarcasm with absolutely zero tone indicators if it is.
Donald who? Is Trump RIGHT NOW at this exact moment in charge of signing off on funds and arms to Israel? This is absolute yes or no. All answers that aren't yes or no are invalid for this one. Does Trump have actual power to end aid or continue approving it? [let me help: the answer is "no")
Therefore if you are seeking to get me to vote for Joe or Kamala (keep trying!) you should stick on to the meaningful politics we currently exist in. One in which Joe Biden is president. He can control if Israel receives aid. The president has broad, broad, almost 100% discretion when it comes to arming "allies." Note the weapons Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, and Israel all receive. Note that they are not all the same! Some of this stuff is negotiated with Congress, between parties, in the DoD (which the president is commander of), but ultimately when it comes down to it congress passes funding -> the president executes the laws/funding, whatever via delegated powers to their cabinet and dept heads. But the president ultimately holds all this power. In theory and in practice as far as we can all see.
So if Kamala, who has been virtually silent besides some "empathetic" phrase changes since Oct 2023, wants me, her potential voter, to believe she represents the end of genocide and apartheid in Palestine she needs to articulate ways in which Biden was/is wrong, ways in which she differs from him, and sure here you go, you've waited for it soooo long! How she's different from Trump too. Spoiler: Trump = Biden on the subject of Palestine. Maybe Trump will say "we love genocide, don't we folks?" While he approves bombe. Who gives a shit what he says, that's liberal dogshit, the results are exactly the fucking same.
If Kamala Harris wants to stop being the same as Biden here's the obvious thing she's known for almost a year: say openly that Biden must immediately stop arming and funding Israel. Israel is committing a genocide (hey, I'll let her weasel with "might be- so we have to investigate"). The US must cooperate directly with the UN to immediately take action, militarily if necessary (and it is necessary) to restrain the IOF from further bloodshed and destabilization.
All of that is like "no shit!" tip of the iceberg no fucking brainer kindergarteners could figure it out. "These Nazi people have been displacing and genociding these other people for how many decades? Uh, maybe STOP HELPING THE NAZIS???"
You are in favor, apparently, of helping the Nazis shred more baby skulls though.
You need to immediately rethink your entire pathetic life if you are ok with thousands of innocents dying. You are coping. You are deluded by the liberal circus you are engulfed in. You need to get out of it before the tap runs out and you're forced into a harsh cold turkey situation where the cope is gone, the party is over, and you have no fucking clue where you are or what's going on.
This Fantasy perfect response is to... *stop arming a genocidal state. *
All your accomplishing here is the expression that you just don't think Palestinians are really human. Perhaps you don't think they're animals, but they're just complete non-entities in your mind.
If your reality as you perceive it is the same as ours, that our government is enabling genocide, then this is a government that is deeply evil. And in your learned helplessness and political impotence, your lack of imagination and will to change things beyond standing in line to cast a vote and thinking "I did my part", you scold people for not wanting to vote for the Democrat.
