If you didn't know who was president right now and you saw what was happening in Gaza, who would you think won the 2020 election?

I get it, but the tariffs Team Trump wants to induce will leave my children and I with no roof over our heads. Like, I dont know if you get that, but I will be largely effected at home by who is ruling. I dont have the luxury of constantly micromanaging overseas when I'm struggling right here at home. It matters. And it doesnt matter who is in charge, I was there when Obama dropped all those bombs. The US is imperialist, this is what the evil shits do.

My only problem is the argument that a vote for Harris is helping Palestinians.

As for your personal situation, I do empathize but there's a lot of people losing their roofs and families to Biden right now. Unless Trump promised to F35 bomb your house I can't prioritize you over them. But your vote is your own.

Well of course. They never get punished for it so there's no reason for them to stop. This election it is just getting too blatant.

The Greens are offering virtually everything progressives demand.
