I find this stance wild. Like I none of us are happy with what’s going on in Gaza, but some people are completely blind to the various ways the current US government has been using its political might to try prevent the war from spreading. People can argue that those steps may or may not be working, that’s fine, in glad people have that opinion.
But how can those same people look at Trump and their statements and views on this subject and think “yes that’s better”? Trump has blatantly said that he things Israel is doing a good job, he also thinks that USA should not be invoived in any humanitarian aid in Gaza.
If Trump is elected, the situation in Gaza is going to get substantially worse. If you actually care about Gaza, the strategic vote is Harris. It’s not a perfect vote or even a great vote, but that’s what FPTP forces, when there is a single issue you’re passionate about, you have to vote strategically. That means looking at the candidates and picking the candidate who most closely matches your views and is also most likely to win. Otherwise you’re throwing your vote away (assuming there were an issue you’re supper passionate about, if there are no super important issues then it’s justifiable to vote for a candidate you really like)
the various ways the current US government has been using its political might to try prevent the war from spreading.
You mean asking nicely and then sending more weapons when they completely refuse to cooperate? Or perhaps you mean setting “red lines” and doing nothing when they’re gleefully crossed? Maybe you mean signing off on supporting Israel’s expansion of the war into Lebanon?
If not, I would love to hear what the hell you are talking about.
