We can be upset with her decisions and policies and still very easily acknowledge that one of the candidates is clearly worse. Trump has outright said Netanyahu should just finish the job. He wouldn't just not resist, he'd actively encourage it. It's like choosing between getting shot with a .22 or a .45 bullet to your leg. Both fucking suck, nobody wants to choose either, but if you're knowledgeable about all the consequences and paying attention, it's not a difficult choice.
You’re right. And how people, who say they’re pay attention to the election, history and candidates, post the comments in these threads saying Harris is pro genocide and trump isn’t blows my mind. The trolls are either more subtle of stupider.
A lot of countries had the Jews living in ghettos without the same rights of other citizens. This went on for centuries in Europe. Then along came hitler. He took antisemitism to a new level.
One is the status quote (a vote for Harris) One is encouraging Netanyahu, the hardliners and the settlers. (A vote for trump)

Pretty sure you're a liar who just made that up. Prove me wrong.
You specifically are pro-Uyghur genocide, though, we've all seen that. You are a pro-Trump MAGA, you want the US to collapse so China can gain more influence. You don't much care how many lives that claims.
You literally took it completely out of context. You couldn't possibly have read what it said and came to that conclusion unless you wanted to start shit.
Maybe you misinterpreted what I meant? I'm not asking for evidence that Trump isn't pro-genocide, I'm asking for evidence of posts claiming that Trump isn't pro-genocide.
What "context" am I missing here exactly, or what "conclusion" have I come to that I couldn't have come to unless I was trying to start shit? Seems like my interpretation is extremely straightforward, the person claimed that there are posters saying that Trump isn't pro-genocide, despite the conspicuous absence of any such comments in this thread, or linked to in their comment. So, they made it up, and are lying.
Yeah i totally misread that. My bad completely.
It's not even a choice imo, there's one electable candidate and one unelectable and I'm horrified that I've got justify it to a whatabout. I was simply saying that i acknowledge this whatabout is genocide. I wish i had better choices in my elections. Constantly bringing up genocide when right now at this very moment there's not a candidate who is going to win that's shown any inkling of stopping said genocide is contributing nothing to the conversation. That's a conversation about genocide that should 100% involve American politics. This needs to be a conversation about American politics that doesn't involve genocide because at this moment right now it adds zero value.
TLDR: you said it much better than i did lol
