    Oh this again.

    K the Israel thing isn’t going to happen. It’s fucked up, I know.

    Anyway, that’s not what we were talking about. We were talking about money influencing politics. That’s what needs to stop.

      You’re only flippant about Israel because you’re confident Harris will win. I’m going to laugh at all the liberals if Trump wins a second time because you didn’t take the concerns of the youth vote seriously and thought you could appeal to enough moderate Republicans.

        People who give a shit about Palestine (and I find it weird you never actually used the word Palestine) will not take the course of action that will make things significantly worse for the people in Palestine.

        The people who do nothing about a situation are still better than the people who want to make it so much worse.

          How is not voting for the perpetuators of genocide “taking the course of action that will male things significantly worse”.

          Do you understand what genocide is? It really doesn’t get any worse.

            The current American government is not actively involved in the bombing and is at least paying lip service to “this is bad and should stop”.

            Trump is on record saying they should carpet bomb the whole area and be done with it.

              This is a lie.

              It is, the US could stop Israel today by stopping aid and arms sales. Israel is an American colony.

                And the US could make things worse by reducing what limited restrictions exist on how those arms are used. Guess what will happen if Trump becomes president?

        I’m not even American.

        You’re changing the topic and I’m not interested.
