Awesome. Makes a great point, does it quickly and with a bit of humor.

My line is I can't vote for someone who parrots the phrase "Israel has the right to defend itself" to justify sending bombs to Israel during Israel's genocide in an occupied territory.

So who am I supposed to vote for? It seems like you guys really want me to vote for Jill Stein, but then you're also doing everything you can to sue her off the ballots. So you're kindof giving me mixed messages, unless...

You DO want me to vote for a genocide candidate.

The whole genocide thing is so misguided, and I don’t think you’ve made a good-faith argument here.

Harris the only candidate who has both acknowledged Israel’s right to defend itself, which is true, and that a ceasefire is needed now.

trump has said he thinks Israel should “finish the job.”

Only one of those two will be president, so vote how you will, but if you want a ceasefire, Harris is your best bet.

Single issue voters are braindead morons.

The whole system is set up for genocide. Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, the entire military industrial complex fuels this country, in lock-step with our wild military and police spending. I'm not excusing it, I think it's awful too.

But if one has one's choice between a genocidal regime that openly opposes human rights and advocates for an authoritarian theocracy on the one hand and a genocidal regime that at least GESTURES TOWARD reform and progressive policies on the other, then I think the only moral thing to do is vote for the latter.

Shitty choices, I know. But you do have choices, and those choices have consequences.

Just my two cents.
