    They will never negotiate with you, even on genocide, if you vote for them 24/7. Where is the red line?

    It took Ronald Reagan one phone call to get them to stop bombing Lebanon.

    Margaret Thatcher put a 10-year long arms embargo on them in the 80s.

    Modern democrats are worse than Republicans from the 70s.

    This can be shown with Biden’s draconian crime bill.

    his full involvement in the “war on terror”.

    Kamala ignoring the Supreme Court’s decision on releasing nonviolent prisoners after overcrowding, as they were being used for slave labor.

    The Marginal tax rate being lower TODAY than it was after Reagan passed his tax cuts.

    They will never move to be more progressive if progressives still vote for them.

      Today’s lesser evil was the greater evil yesterday.

      I’m gonna assume your argument is is good faith. You’re absolutely correct about all of it. It fucking sucks. But the other side is the the same if not even worse. The reality is that right now the choice is between Harris and Trump. One of those two options will be leading the US next year. Not voting for Harris means Trump will be the leader.

      If you want to convince people to stop voting for Harris you need to argue why Trump leading the US next year is a better outcome for Palestine. I haven’t been able to find a reason.

        The argument is that continuing to reward genocidal behavior will never result in the party going left to get your vote. You’re demonstrating that they can literally missile strike babies and you’ll still vote for them. They don’t need to do anything to cater to you at all, but hey maybe they’ll throw a bone to your racist uncle and maybe he’ll vote for them instead of the ghoul the GOP runs 4 years from now.

        Why ever give anything to the left when “look at the other side” always gets you to fall in line? You’ve completely taken yourself off the board, politically.
