    The amount of people who rationalize arming a genocide is “ok” if a black lady does it, is more than alarming to me.

    Literally no one is saying this.

      Except Kamala. She’s justifying the genocide on her campaign trail. She has said outright that she would not stop arms shipments.

        She is also the acting VP and can’t really dissociate herself from the current position. She has also talked much more about ending the conflict, about Israel crossing lines and has signalled as hard as ahe can that things would be different, e.g., snubbing Bibi and not meeting him when he came to America (which drove conservatives apoplectic.)

          The reality is she is going to continue arming Israel until Israel illegally settles all of Gaza. You cannot tell me that her 60 minutes response inspired any amount of confidence on a ceasefire. She totally ignored all of the reports about US arms being used on refugee camps and jumped straight to a single attack against a retaliatory strike towards Israel and reiterated her belief that the US is inextricably linked to Israel. She reiterated the nonsense that Israel has a right to defend itself against the peoples they have oppressed, subjugated, and genocided.

            And trump has encouraged Israel to accelerate their efforts.

            No one rational is accepting or attracted to harris’stance on Israel. We’re attracted to the idea that it will be worse under trump, with a massive dose of acceleration, bald faced racism including the likely mass deportation of Muslim refugees, and global chaos due to his being 1. Incompetent and insecure 2. A likely unwitting agent of global enemies like Putin.

            After all Gaza concepts are discussed and balanced, trump will also materially endanger minority and at risk groups in the US due to blatant policy, stochastic terrorism emitted from the oval office itself, and the appointment of corrupt conservative federal judges that will hold back progressive progress for decades to come. Again, this is important, but not more important than people dying in Gaza. But an American voter should certainly care about America TOO.

            For these reasons a vote for Harris is effective but unsavory harm reduction, as at least during a Harris presidency advocacy and progress is even remotely possible, or even legal. Trump has made clear his interest in punishing those who are not aligned with his world, and that’s nearly everyone on the planet.

              The fact she happens to be running against a fascist should not let her off the hook from her legal responsiblity. They did authorize bombs to be sold knowing full well they are used against civilians, which is not only deeply disturbing, but illegal per american and international laws.

          That is what she will say to the judge in her trial for extermination.

          HARRIS: “I know we did authorize those bomb to be sold knowing full well they were used on civilians, but we TALKED about not doing it very hard, your honor”
