ye tbh. im withholding my vote unless i see kamala harris actually support palestinian liberation. im not gonna be duped into accepting what i wouldnt accept out of joe biden just cause kamala harris isnt joe biden. which isnt to say ill neber vote for her but i'm certainly now strongly undecided until she makes a change.
if u also want better from these damn politicians, email and call her campaign reps, the white house, mail into her hq with physical mail telling her to actually put her money where her mouth is.
politicians actually have to earn ur vote. im not just gonna wait until she doesnt need us to vote for her anymore to be vocal about this issue.
Palestinian lives are not currency to pay for our comfort. If we can't even support them during a genocide we are actively funding, then tbh we don't even deserve the comforts. your own fear is not an excuse to not at least attempt to use what leverage you have with your voting power to get a politician to actually do what theyre supposed to do.

"What would a Second Trump Presidency look like?"
How about how we're literally living and seeing right now, except liberals would have to pretend to actually give a shit about people who are not them?
If Trump was president, they'd be baying for his blood, screaming from the rooftops that he's a war criminal and a genocidaire and a fascist dictator committing genocide --
But because Biden is the one in office right now, Liberals keep saying, against all reality,
"he supports a ceasefire!" --
so why is he building military multi-million dollar piers in Gaza explicitly to aid Israeli troops in massacring Palestinians, including having US troops participating in the slaughter of 300 innocent people ?
"He doesn't want to support israel but he has to!" --
So why has he tried to make a law that a President can send any amount of military aid to foreign allies without ANY congressional or public oversight, because he was pissed off that the American public was horrified at him sending billions and billions of dollars towards genocide and he didn't want people to know what he was doing, even though by his own admission this would allow future Republicans such as Trump to send billions in weapons to anyone he wants with no one else being the wiser?
You can also listen to his speech here, and tell me, do you really think his opinion has changed in the slightest since that time, despite the increasingly -public atrocities and apartheid committed by Israel ?
"there's no way he could stop the genocide, he's just one man!"
Oh, Biden is "just one man" but Trump is a magically powerful unstoppable dictator who can do anything? You guys really gotta make up your minds about how powerful the President of the United States is.
Biden has been sending Billions, with a 'B' as in $1,000,000,000, and an 's' as in plural in weapons to Israel. In April alone he sent $15,000,000,000 in weapons to them right before the first Rafah massacre, and that doesn't count every single fucking other "smaller" exchange of weapons he's sent them every month prior or after.
Biden is directly responsible for everything Israel does with the weapons he continues to send them.
And, he's been deliberately spreading disinformation about October 7th to justify Israel's genocide since Octover 7th .
On the opposite side of the spectrum, a reporter wrote an article about her treatment when she visited the White House to try to speak to him about the situation in Gaza and when she tried to show him pictures she'd taken personally in Gaza, Biden dismissed her and ignored her, claiming "I've seen those photos already", despite these being pictures she'd taken personally with her phone and not published online.
Biden is more than aware of the reality on the ground for the victims of his genocide, but he does not give one single flying fuck about them, because he does not view them as human beings, all he views them as is acceptable sacrifices for him to achieve his political goals of keeping Israel in power, no matter how many atrocities they commit with his direct aid and support.
All Biden would have to do to slow or halt Israel's atrocities would literally be to just stop sending them fucking weapons and cash. Israel has received $300,000,000,000 in aid from the USA, it would literally not survive without funding from America which pays for all of their healthcare, their military, supports their economy, etc.
The United States literally cares more about Israel, a genocidal apartheid entity, than it does its own people.
Israel has universal healthcare for it's citizens, funded by USA Taxdollars. But somehow, if the United States had universal healthcare of its own, that would be a waste of money ? As the saying goes, "They've got money for war but can't feed the poor."
You really just have to sit there and absorb the fact that the United States, and Biden right now especially , are literally funding another nation's universal healthcare and economy, while millions of Americans starve, are homeless, and die from lack of healthcare. If you're insisting we need to vote for Biden, I want you to literally sit for five minutes and absorb this fact. Biden is commiting genocide, right now, with your taxdollars, and is giving Israel billions and billions so that their citizens can have universal healthcare so they can commit genocide
Do you still think voting for this man is in your best interests, as he commits genocide?
Do you still think the Democrats can actually pretend to care about people, when they joined in with the Republicans to censured Rashida Tlaib, one step below expelling her from the House over her calling for Israel to halt the genocide?
Do you still genuinely believe that Biden actually cares about Palestinians? Or "can be reasoned with" How ? Its been 9 months, including mass protests across the USA and worldwide, and Biden is still refusing to slow or halt aid to Israel, and this is while he's trying to get re-elected!
Do you really, truly believe that you can "pressure" Biden in any way shape or form when he gets re-elected and literally does not have to give a single fuck about what any of how supporters want?
Have you grasped that fact yet?
If Biden gets re-elected by holding your rights hostage, and promising to do all the things he failed to do and is currently failing because he's President right fucking now and has another 4 months to accomplish things, do you truly, genuinely believe that he's going to keep any of those promises on round #2 when he's no longer beholden to public option (laughable, considering he's literally not right now even as his own party begs him to step down, and as studens are brutalized by his militarized police he gave millions towards ) because he truly doesn't need to give a fuck at all about re-election on his last term??
Anyways, if you want to actually vote for a candidate who is pro-palestine, you can vote for Dr. Jill Stein this November.
For all the genocidal liberals crying about how "we all gotta band together and vote for Biden or the world's gonna end 😭", how about you actually take a look at his actual fucking poll numbers and what his own party is saying before you go harassing tumblr users to vote for a losing candidate whos commiting genocide?
As of this post [7/15/2024], ~56.5% of Americans disapprove of Biden, while only ~37.9% actually approve of him.
If liberals spent even half the energy they do supporting Biden against all rational and national sense on instead actually supporting third party candidates who are Pro-palestine, we'd effortlessly get our first Third Party President.
Instead, genocidal liberals will deny the ongoing genocide by downplaying and ignoring it, and instead use phrases like
"Biden isn't perfect",
"Biden has some flaws",
"voting for president isn't like choosing a valentine",
"candidates dont have to be flawless to get your support".
Hey, pro tip liberals: if you literally have to plug your ears and play dumb to the fact that your favorite candidate is committing genocide to try to get people to vote for him, maybe, just maybe, that's a sign you need to rethink your strategy and morality.
All you do when you deny the genocide in the pursuit of your own interests is show the world that you solidly do not give a fuck about anyone but yourselves, and that you're willing to support candidates mass slaughtering innocent people as long as those people aren't you
You're also literally just telling the Democrats currently and any future Democrats that it doesn't matter how fucking low they sink, that as long as they pretend and promise to give a fuck about liberals sensibilities, that they can commit as many atrocities with impunity as they want, because they're guaranteed your undying support.
Anyways.
Vote Dr. Jill Stein this November.
Vote anti-genocide.
