What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

    Wow, that is an incredibly unhinged thing to say to somebody.

    I think if you are taking it on yourself to be a steward of the Palestinian people, you have to act respectable.

      You get to talk about respectability when you stop supporting genocide. If you don’t support genocide, why oppose voting uncommitted?

        Let me know when your behavior has helped a single Palestinian person.

          Honest question, has speaking respectfully and calmly helped a single Palestinian person? It’s not like the US was listening until the uncommitted votes and the college protests.

            Which specific real world protestors are acting as unhinged as this person was? From what I have seen, this behavior is exclusively among online communists, not actual pro-palestine protestors.

                Why are you defending a random mentally unhinged person on the internet and equating their behavior with the movement as a whole?

                  Why do you assume I’m defending them? All I’m saying is you’re wrong too, nothing about talking nice got us anywhere, and you must know this implicitly because you refuse to answer my questions with anything but your own detracting questions. Reread my first comment, and try answering it instead of making the conversation about something else.

                    If you guys can’t even be respectful to the people you are in the movement with, than when the movement fails, its probably because of the splintering you guys did.

          Why oppose voting uncommitted other than because you support genocide? Legit give me one reason in the entire world to oppose voting uncommitted other than because you want to send the message to Biden that Palestinian genocide doesn’t matter/is good

            Why behave this way towards other people unless you support genocide?

            You aren’t doing a damn thing to help Palestinians, you are just treating random people terribly and feeling good about yourself because of it.

              Hey look, it’s a liberal genocide supporter deflecting rather than owning their shit views!

              Why bother being quiet about it? Why not say it? Or deny it if it’s not the case? Because you know that everyone else will know you’re a piece of shit if you’re too honest about it. Fuck off zionist, know that you’re not at all sly about how much you love dead Palestinian children

                Again, I advise psychiatry because nothing you have stated towards me is based in reality.

                You aren’t helping Palestinians, you haven’t helped them and in truth, I don’t think you are capable of helping them, which explains the impotent rage directed at random people on the internet.

                    I think your uncommitted temper tantrum is doing nothing but putting gay and trans children within the crosshairs of Republicans and I think when you get your way, you’re going to experience genocide closer to home than you realized.

                    And your impotent rage will be even more useless than that is now.

                  At least I’m not actively angling for them to get mass murdered like you. I’ve got a psychiatrist, I bet you’d benefit from one who can help you feel even the tiniest shred of empathy towards genocide victims and not want to kill even more

                    Does your psychiatrist know you harass random people on the internet and accuse them of things they haven’t done as a hobby?

                    I empathize with your struggles, but your mental issues are not my fault nor an excuse for you to do bad things towards other people.
