These people say they care about Gaza, but we all know deep down inside they couldn't give less of a fuck.

It's more important virtue signal than to sincerely hold those values, this is the democrat way.

    OK, not voting and trying to further the already existing movement to divest from Israel. In which case Donald Trump and the Republican party down-ballot wins (historically, lower turnout means Republican victory), and now you have a genocide occurring in Palestine AND America when Trump haphazardly tries to deport hundreds of thousands of Latin American immigrants en masse. I don't think people understand that Donald Trump actually does have a record of doing what he promises... he did actually build the wall. Is it shit? Yeah, but he built it. Did he actually install people in federal agencies who worked to make them ineffective? Absolutely. MAGA with the backing of the US govt is terrifying; without that, much less so. Keeping MAGA away from power and confined to their corners of the internet is important. That is literally the ONLY reason why I feel the need to participate in this fucked up system.

      Harris is running on a platform of increased border protections. She is to the right of Trump in 2016.

      The Dems are moving rightward, the danger is already here.

      I'm going to slap the shit out of you and when you complain, I'll point out how a republican would have shot you, then slap you again.
