We've got reality to face here, bud. We can't wish a 3rd nominee who is magically untouched by AIPAC into existence. There are none.

Thanks for representing the meme.

This seems like an opportunity for you to explain why the points being made are invalid, rather than just mocking them via meme.

It’s a brute fact that either Harris or Trump is going to be inaugurated as POTUS next January, and it’s also a fact that Trump would be worse for Gaza’s cause than maintaining the status quo. If I’m guaranteed an evil outcome in both cases, why shouldn’t I try to sway the course of history towards the lesser of the two possible evils?

You should vote for Harris if you want. I will. But, what I won’t do is go on the internet and justify a genocide.

According to modern international criminal law, there can be no excuse for genocide.
