However Trump’s proposals would make being homeless even worse, while Harris’s would make it somewhat better (although way less than is needed). So I still stand by my categorisation. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yeahiknow3@lemmings.world 43 points 2 years ago (2 children) Nuance is unacceptable.

Basically the American establishment has been Pro Israel since it's inception. You have a two party system that treats this as the air America breathes effectively speaking you aren't and never were going to be voting about the stance of Israel in this election. If you want that you need to organize and fight like hell and you should but there is nothing anyone can say or do to change the election promises on the table right now. If they could, they already would have. But that means that you are still voting for something. You are voting for everything else on the table. In your country's case, your chance to actually have elections in another four years. You have noble concerns but you are letting them blind you to the reality here. This election is important. Republicans have spend decades rigging the game so they need less voters to win and their candidates have started spewing outright Nazi rhetoric. While your veiw is in the distance the wolf is in the grass in front of you. You need to deal with this first if you want your country not to not remove your personal power to influence it further... And I'm not inferring elections, I mean other forms of resistance. permalink fedilink source parent [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago* Also, watch as I disappear for four years, and then reappear only to whine about the state of the Democratic Party and how they didn't pander to my progressive ass enough.
