      This is why nobody can take you seriously. Harris is not engaged in the genocide, and Trump is on record as wanting Netanyahu, the actual architect of the Palestinian genocide, to finish the job. Harris is the VP of a different country, and the person who is Hitler in this analogy prefers her opponent.

      And there’s no way to reach your position through intellectual honesty. Your motives are transparent, and that is why you will fail.

          You’ve inverted honesty/dishonesty again, like a real comrade!

          Get fucked.

          So if we take moral responsibility for Harris’s stance on Gaza, surely you will take moral responsibility for Trumps. Is that too far of a leap? I mean Harris isn’t president. She doesn’t dictate policy, yet. Her being responsible for the current situation is just as far removed as you being responsible for a Trump win.

            More: The arms sales to Israel are dictated by Congress, not the president. The president has very limited ability to pause certain arms shipments to Israel.

            House Republicans actually passed a bill which would prevent Biden from doing that pausing. That bill never made it to the floor of the Democrat-controlled Senate, and so Biden did pause certain arms shipments.

              This is just misinformation. The president has the ability and arguably the obligation to halt arms transfers to Israel.

              FADEL: Now, you’ve written that a case could be made that Biden is legally required to stop funding Israel’s war. How?

              BLANK: Well, there are at least three different laws that come into play here. One is the Humanitarian Aid Corridor Act. One is the Leahy Amendment on Foreign Assistance Act. And one is the conventional arms transfer policy, which is a different type of legislation. The clear text of all three of these pieces of legislation really would seem to prohibit or restrict the ability of the U.S. government to transfer aid. This, I should emphasize, is under existing U.S. law.

            What responsibility? Harris is not responsible for anything genocide related right?

            Similarly I have this advice: not voting for Harris does not mean you did not vote for Harris.

      I want to hear the plan.

      Say you get what you want; no one here votes for Harris. What happens the next day?

      Lay it out so I can understand.

      The only genocide you care about is the one you can use to get fascism elected.
