I don’t normally respond to things like this because it rarely leads to any good faith arguments but I feel like I should so here goes:
Yes I’m not fond of the US involvement of what is currently going on with Israel. It’s absolutely horrific. But here’s the thing. Whether you like it or not there are two choices we currently have for president: Trump or Harris. Trump has very recently encouraged Netanyahu telling him to “do what you have to do” and expressed support for Israel’s military operations in Gaza and Lebanon. I’m sure Trump wishes he do something similar here. While Harris’ response could be a lot stronger she acknowledges the devastating humanitarian situation in Gaza, noting “so many innocent lives lost” and the “heartbreaking” scale of suffering.
And I’m not even going to get into the multitude of fascist and authoritarian things Trump has said recently, well because there are just way too many.
But supporting Harris does not mean you support genocide. It means you want this country to continue, pure and simple. Because Trump will very likely destroy it otherwise, since that is likely what he is being paid to do.
So either you are so short sighted and naive as to see this election as a response to a very single minded issue, or your primary goal is to sow distrust and create chaos. This election is too important for this kind of rhetoric.
Your distaste for the genocide that is indeed occurring in the middle east is not unwarranted. But we have two choices: reasonable and unreasonable. Which would you pick?
