    I still don’t understand why just because Kamala didn’t explicitly oppose Israël, you choose to allow Trump to worsen the whole situation by forcefully deporting all Palestinians out of Gaza.

      She didn’t merely, “Refuse to explicitly oppose Israel.” She and Biden were completely supportive of Israel, sending them more and more weapons (beyond what congress approved btw) no matter what they did and applying no pressure to them. They went after pro-Palestine protesters and refused to allow a Palestinian-American to speak at the convention. They made it extremely clear which side they were on, and thinking otherwise is just wishful thinking.

          Nothing? What on earth did I say that gave you the impression that I thought Trump was better? I didn’t vote for Trump either. You’re ignoring what I said and going back to the strawman.

            By not voting for Kamala, you voted for Trump. This is the broken system we must work within to attempt to better society.

            You’re just in denial about your own complicity.

              Then by not voting for Trump, I voted for Kamala and you have nothing to complain about.

                Not true, historically speaking republicans only won when voter turnout was low. This is because Republicans are more extreme and Democrats are more towards the center. Therefore, not voting is allowing Republicans to win.
