John Mearsheimer: “I won’t vote for the Democrats because of the genocide in Gaza. I think the Biden administration is complicit in the genocide and genocide is a red line for me.”

    So if Texas started exterminating everyone in immigration detention camps you’d absolve Harris of all responsibility.

      You’re literally making up interpretations.

      No I wouldn’t absolve her.

      Besides this is all based on what? Shit that she hasn’t done or that hasn’t happened yet?

      Why are we even debating imaginary scenarios???

      The point is you either vote for Kamala Harris, the least worst of the two major candidates, or if you’re voting for third party or cancelling your vote your just giving it away to Trump. Either that or you’re voting Trump.

      Kamala sure isn’t a fucking angel, but she’s a way better option than Trump as a potential president. And those other topics like the migrant camps and the genocide by Israel, are all shit you can protest and ask for change once she’s in office. With enough pressure, at least she has the chance to change the policies. With Trump that won’t even be an opinion. And judging from your username, you’re the one that might end up in a concentration camp under Trump. So think about that.

        As part of the Biden administration she’s already party to genocide and a crackdown against asylum seekers and tried to help pass a fascist border bill. The fascist agenda against migrants is on the march and she’s just fine with it.

          What I’m telling you, is if you don’t vote for Harris, you’re basically voting for Trump.

          How do you think these things are going to turn out under Trump? You think they’ll improve? Under Harris there’s a chance they might with enough pressure from the people. Not under Trump.

          I don’t know how many times I have to repeat this until it gets through your thick skull.
