More than 100 Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive Democrats and community leaders have signed a letter making the case for those reluctant to support Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.

“We know that many in our communities are resistant to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Biden administration’s complicity in the genocide,” the letter, published Thursday night, reads.

“Some of us have lost many family members in Gaza and Lebanon. We respect those who feel they simply can’t vote for a member of the administration that sent the bombs that may have killed their loved ones,” the letter continued. “As we consider the full situation carefully, however, we conclude that voting for Kamala Harris is the best option for the Palestinian cause and all of our communities.”

yawn tired trope. there are other levers to pull for reducing essentially every other harm. its clear you dont understand how to effectively leverage your vote to reduce harm and are supportive of a genocide. congrats i guess?

Let me know when you're no longer a willing participant in a genocide and then we can talk about harm reduction.

You need to look at game theory.

The only two candidates that matter if Harris and Trump, and you'll realize that the only candidate that makes sense to vote for is Harris

oh god another game theory twat. lord please spare me another childish lecture. 😮‍💨

  1. you're assuming my goal is influence who wins. (its not)
  2. you're assuming the only outcome in play is who wins. (its not)
  3. yes I've studied game theory and that professor was a dunce too.

You don't even know the game. Which you may wish to know is an important aspect of game theory. so spare me the trivialities of your intellect.

Abuses everyone he disagrees with (including his own teachers).. Reminds me of someone I know (rhymes with Dump).

Also, did someone on Fox News happen to use the word "dunce" recently. 2 years you guys were calling everyone "snowflakes" or whatever.. and it seems like now, you guys have started using this word

People like you will either always vote right wing (and lie), or sit on the fence and find problems with EVERY candidate so you don't need to make a decision (because you like abusing people, and you'll ultimately find problems with every candidate).

Stop gaslighting everyone. They're not the same. The fact that you think a convicted rapist/tax cheat/person who incites violence directly, is exactly the same as someone who helped convict people like him, i'd argue is why your professor probably doesn't like you either (and probably graded you as such).

I’m as much a willing participant in the genocide as anyone else who intends to vote, unfortunately in the USA right now we are the way we are.

I can vote for the party that has people willing to address the elephant in the room, literally anything else is being a more willing participant.

Anyways, get fucked.

Daily. 🤗 Dont worry harris will still win here. But maybe adding my vote to the pile here has convinced my local reps to consider withholding israel support in the future . Hopefully you can do the same.

But its likely you're Happy harris is bombing innocents.

How would you leverage your vote in this instance?
