USAmerican politics really seeps into every nook and cranny on the goddamn web. I'd much rather read about something happening in the rest of America than USAmerica. It gets really annoying...
Like it or not, these guys can duck up the entire world pretty badly. I can’t afford to ignore it, even if I don’t live anywhere near the U.S.

It is against US law and international law to send weapons to a country guilty of genocide.
Did Harris forget about this?
I agree, and it's complete bullshit.
But I'm going to vote for "genocide and some safety for my Trans and female friends" over "more genocide, gay bashing, and forced birthing". It's our only two choices until there is either a change in the voting system, or better yet, a revolution.
I respect this even if I don’t agree with it. If you believe voting for Harris is harm reduction then you have to and it is a moral imperative. So I do understand and empathize with people who are honest about how the Democrats are failing but still see critical issues like democracy, gender equality and rights, and the environment better handled by them.
However I believe this hope and faith is misplaced. But I realized this after 6 presidential elections, so I don’t dare to deny you your own experience and personal growth. In 2020 I still had hopes that the border detention will be over if we just get Trump and his racist goons out. The border camps are still here…
Somehow it feels like the government is on autopilot and the only thing elections change is the intensity.
I appreciate the respect and I can assure you that it is mutual. I can completely understand where you are coming from, and your stance. "Harm reduction", is a good way to put it, because that's all it really feels like. It doesn't feel good to feign support for a regime that supports such atrocities, but here I am thanks to our joke of a system.
Trump "wants them to finish the job",...
And Biden did what to stop them over the past 12 months? Vetoed UN ceasefire twice, vetoed Palestinian statehood, sent thousands of tons of weapons to Israel despite knowing they break international law and have blocked aid entry to civilians, and now is helping Israel invade Lebanon and strike Iran. Trump is saying it but Biden is doing it now.
Whose fault is it that the genocide continued for a year and might be inherited by Trump? In the end we find out that in 2023 Biden is as bloodthirsty as he was in 1982 when Israel invaded Lebanon.

If you don’t support bombing hospitals and children, you hate America
I hate Americans and America, source: am American. Still voting for Kamala because I hate Donald Trump and I want domestic and global stability. I personally think that the Kamala camp is afraid to take a stand against Israel because of the Jewish voting bloc. It's a spineless tactic for sure.
Nothing says global stability like drone striking children in the street!

You're right, I do hate America.
Yes, we all know that's your motivation
I voted for Biden because I wanted to stop fascism. I hated America, but I figured the world would suffer from a Trump presidency.
Then Biden did genocide.
The world suffers and fascism is already here. You're just voting for red or blue flavors. Death to America, I won't do it anymore.

nope.
tldr: If you vote for Trump, you hate America.
longer:
If you vote for Trump, you're selfish, psychopathic, and are trying to damage the US more than it already is.
If you vote for anyone who isn't Trump, you are helping the US take a step in the right direction.

This explains the stupid in America's voting system that makes "voting for not-kamala" the same as "basically voting for trump". It sounds like idiotic extremism if you don't have the specific context this video provides. In truth it's just a weird aftereffect of bad voting rules. It's worth checking out!

I wish we'd get a candidate that didn't run purely on hey look how shitty trump is. It's so lazy and barely worked last time.
Finding out more about her is very easy, your lack of knowledge does not equal a lack of information
It's weird nobody ever posts about her policies then. It's always shit posts like the one we're on now.

This is what happens if your only source of news is Reddit and Lemmy. Just watch any of her extensive interviews and rallies and you will get a whole lot more.
