"Still a net negative on society" and it's literally donating $1,500 to Gazans vs. thinking we're annoying, very equal things, lemmitors and not a totally privileged position

And the people who're saying they did more than us by voting for Kamala (100% confident they didn't donate a dollar to palestinians btw) is just cope

Even if you are willing to accept that she would have been better for Palestinians than Trump, she lost! If all someone did to help Palestine is vote for her, then they have literally accomplished nothing!

And if you’re only taking voting into account and doing a very rough “how many people are dying in Gaza” as the metric, as bad as Trump has been the sound position would be that voting for Trump was harm reduction (edited to avoid implying people here voted for Trump, which I doubt literally anyone did).

Israel has, on average, killed less people in Gaza per day under Trump than they did under Biden. That remains true. This basically says nothing about Trump it’s just to point out that Joe Biden was a genocidal maniac who loved killing Palestinians more than anything in this world including his own party’s ability to win elections.

You wouldn't happen to have a source for that, would you? I'd be interested to see how it compares and it'd be useful for discussion.

Israel has, on average, killed less people in Gaza per day under Trump than they did under Biden.

Unfortunately that’s probably due to the fact that there have been less people to kill rather than any policy difference.

Also you should probably rephrase your first paragraph. They’d probably latch onto it and think “see they voted for trump” even though you’re probably just using their definition of voting for trump, which is anyone besides Kamala.

That's not really how voting works. Just because whatever you voted for lost, doesn't mean that the vote didn't do anything.

What does it accomplish then?

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 31 points 1 month ago

It's a signal that you're willing to give up your principles in exchange for what the candidate supports. So by voting for Kamala "most lethal military in the world" "the difference between me and Joe Biden is that I'm not Joe Biden" Harris, one helps Palestinians in the sense of giving them the security in knowledge that 100% of viable political parties and their supporters are A-OK with their slaughter. This is a buff.

First of all, in most democratic systems, funding is often decided by reaching a certain vote count. Second, in most functioning democracies, votes on stuff is not actually neatly split amongst party lines, so a different distribution of seats might change certain results on certain votes. Thirdly, often there's another vote threshold than 50%, in most democracies there's stuff like "you need 2/3 of the votes to change the constitution" or similar, at which point "how much you lose by" also matters.

And the most important of all is the categorical imperative/universalization. "What if everyone acted like you did?"

If everyone didn't vote because "it doesn't accomplish anything" then the result is that it doesn't accomplish anything, you will definitely lose. But if everyone did vote even if it "doesn't accomplish anything", then suddenly you might win the vote because everyone voted.

Kamala Harris, who had Bill Clinton on her campaign trail doing hasbara.

[-] underisk@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 month ago

She’s married to a Zionist! He was out there during her campaign constantly reassuring other zionists (donors) with public statements that his wife would defend Israel, while she remained mostly silent on the issue.

It makes sense if you assume that Gazans simply do not register as real flesh-and-blood human beings to them.
