We might be living the final moments of not being terrified what the US President is going to do

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Cope lol. Harris has consistently shown her message to be "fuck Palestine". You call it a harm reduction, yet how are you going to explain the harm already done, and the point of harm reduction? Is Israel going to genocide less-lightly? Kill all the people in Palestine a little bit slower? What's the difference in the end, there is absolutely none.
Harris polls this shittily because of Palestine and going against what people want. That's why suddenly 2 days before the election the messaging changed to "we love Palestine we will end the war really quickly!".
The reality is you cannot run a campaign on "but Trump worse!". You need something that makes you different, you need policy. That's why Kamala's CNN Town Hall was such a huge failure - the only thing she talked about is how she isn't Trump. Acting as if "people are stupid if they don't vote, vote 3rd party or vote Trump" is a valid statement only shows the blindness of what's actually happening. And what's happening is if you only care about Palestine / Middle East, both candidates will happily stand by and letting it burn.
Remember, this all could stop immediately using one phone call to Netanyahu. We know that, because things like this stopped immediately after such phonecalls. But there needs to be a political will to do that, and there is none right now, or in the future.
