arms embargo day one is a basic thing anyone going for president who cares about people at all should do at the minimum. Harris is against an arms embargo ergo she doesn't care about thousands of dead babies thus she should have zero power over anyone.
Good luck getting anyone into presidency who would do this. This genocide isn't a sudden affair, it's a continued issue that spans decades.
You think we're gonna solve it in a day?
How long was the Vietnam War? Afghan war? Nearly 20 years, and those were wars where the US was directly involved.
How long has the Israel-Hamas war being going for? Just over a year (if we say it started on 7th Oct 2023).
You want progress? You want the genocide to stop? Then you vote for someone that will lean towards progress. Not voting is the worst thing you can do.
Always vote. https://youtu.be/_gbDAvK42yA?t=197
Except Harris has made it clear she doesn't want "progress". As president she wouldn't immediately arms embargo an easy thing to do and the bare minimum.
And you not voting will help..how? By failing to vote, you become complicit in the failings of whatever fascist or gemocidal maniac you allowed into office by your inaction. You're not stopping the war in Gaza by passing on voting - you're just allowing these systems of injustice to continue without you by your defeatism and inaction. Shame.
