You make it sound like Harris has a monopoly on genocide. Trump has made it quite clear he will increase the amount of genocide compared to the Biden s administration.

Oh boy, another person thinking a lurch towards fascism will help get progressive policies get passed in congress. Or maybe they think fascists having control of the biggest intelligence services in the world will help the leftists thrive? Surely leftists will be just fine if the far right gets all the levers of power in government.

To what end do you point this out? Do you think it is irrelevant who wins the election and that the outcome of both candidate's administrations will be the same?

Only one president in US history definitely destroyed the chances at a two state solution in our lifetime by giving Jerusalem completely and totally to one side, and it wasn't Biden.
