    It blows your mind because you’re living in a bubble and believe things you read on the internet without questioning them enough.

    First Israel is not committing genocide. The casualties are consistent with combat operations in an urban environment. Death toll numbers are flattening as Hamas is eliminated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Israel–Hamas_war#/media/File:Gaza_death_graph.png

    If it were a genocide the numbers would be increasing.

    Second, you’re in a very small group of unreliable voters. It is not good strategy to ignore the majority to appease a small group of people that have been influenced by a foreign propaganda campaign. Most people understand that Hamas is a terrorist group, doesn’t wear uniforms so therefore civilian casualties will be high when there’s combat operations against them. Most people understand what happened on October 7, and understand that a nation should not abandon it’s people when they’re being held hostage. And nations shouldn’t abandon their allies simply because their allies are fighting an enemy that has a propaganda campaign that’s effective on a small portion of their population.

    You likely weren’t going to vote anyway. You’d probably find some other excuse to not vote even if Harris was saying everything the propaganda tells you she should. And, I can’t stress this enough, you’re part of a very small group of people. What you’re saying isn’t all that different from someone saying they can’t understand why Harris wouldn’t say the Earth is flat because she’s losing the flat earther vote if she doesn’t.

    She’s not saying the things you want her to say because you are wrong. Surrounding yourself only with people that agree with you doesn’t change that.
