Genocide doesn’t matter because Trump bad? Pro-Palestine protesters disrupted a campaign rally by US Vice President Kamala Harris with chants like “We won’t vote for genocide.” The seemingly pressed Kamala found few sympathetic words for Gaza in response, answering, “If you want Donald Trump to win, just say that.” Her apparently equally ignorant voter base cheered her genocide-pleasing “clapback.”

    It’s not a binary choice. That’s what a bunch of rich and powerful people want you to think so that they can ensure their needs are met.

    That said, while I think that what she did was shitty. I would assume everyone can see that she will refuse to take a stance on this for as long as possible. If Americans want her to publicly condemn Israel, they need to show that they’re worth more votes than the group that supports Israel and by a scale of at least two.

      It is a binary choice when it is a binary choice. If you don’t want a binary choice, then first fight to change the system. Without that, you have a binary choice.
