Do you legitimately think trump will be better for the Palestinians/anyone living in the Middle East?

I'm just trying to understand how you can be so confused.

no, I think both are equally bad for Palestinians/middle east. genocide means dead. there is no coming back from that. its happening right now. You understand this right? Harris has promised it'll continue. her own words.

I’m just trying to understand how you can be so confused.

I'm not confused. both candidates have gone on the record for genocide explicitly. the only difference is harris tells you she wants peace while handing israel the missiles.

Do you know what the definition of insanity is? doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results. you keep voting for genocidal nut jobs, guess what you're going to get? All I'm doing is telling you not to be fucking surprised when you get a genocide because you wouldn't stand up.

genocide means dead. there is no coming back from that.

Holy damn, is your entire position based on you not understanding people are exaggerating?!? I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

What percentage of Palestinians do you think will be around after either presidency? (I mean, even if the PLO is undercounting by half, that's 100,000 dead Palestineans in one year. Given there are more than 5 million Palestineans, well I'd say you can do the math but I'm not sure of that, so to give you a hand, that would be 50 more years of conflict at this pace before there are no more...)

And if you are actually a parody account (please be a parody, please be a parody) goddamn, well played!

Well I'll grant you this is a new approach from someone.... lets see how it works out for you.

So as long as its slow enough you're okay with genocide? thats your argument? well as long as they only kill 300/day we'll just let it slide. if they die from starvation, dehydration, disease, well that's definitely unrelated to our activities! I mean I guess this approach has worked.

You're also okay with israel killing journalists, WHO staff, UN staff, etc?

Good to know.

Harris would end her term with fewer dead Palestinians than trump would.

That is a good thing.

Enabling trump leads to more Palestinians dying than would die if Harris was President.

That is a bad thing.

Agreed, hopefully she doesn't lose. But if she does the dem twits only have themselves to blame. It means there would be a 30ish pt shift to 3rd party candidates in my state for that to happen. I can only dream of Americans becoming that morally aware.

Okay, so at least you finally agree that Harris and trump are not the same. This is progress!

Now, if you understand that trump is worse, surely you must see how not helping Harris means you are making it more likely that more Palestinians die?
