It's actually sad that you would talk about privilege. That may apply to some people. What if for example your cousin is living in Palestine? What then? What privilege do you have? If you vote for Harris, you're guaranteed more of the same.

The privilege that you have is that you don't have family members dying from policies that Harris endorses. And I think Trump would be even worse, so there's a practical argument that people should vote for Harris anyway, but that's a tough sell if it's your immediate family or your best friends who are in the literal crosshairs.

I'm just sorry to say, but the situation in Palestine is not up for vote right now. This election will not change that outcome, short of keeping the "finish the job" candidate out of office while maybe the more reasonable of the two can eventually decide to do the right thing.

If none of the "other stuff" that is actually up for vote matters to people, though, then those people aren't allies and apparently don't care if they end up living under a christofascist regime that won't need elections anymore.

I disagree. I think each voter is going to choose what the relevant issues are and then they're going to vote. You can try to tell us what issues matter, but people are going to make up their own mind.

Also, it's quite obvious that who becomes the next president does have an impact on what happens in Palestine.

NEVER AGAIN 🤡

I guess some people's issues are more important than [others]
