The most necessary thing I’ve read all week. Thank you for taking the time to write this in the midst of so much f*ckery. While it’s not the most appetizing stuff to chew on (it’s a rather tough piece of meat to bite into I’m finding) it’s the necessary nutritional value needed right now, so thank you. 🙏🏻

We need to look beyond the two party system which is not set up in our (the public’s) interests. They can withhold their vote or vote for a third party. Both of these will force the Democrats to adjust policy if they wish to regain their lost voters. I know this might seem risky or unsatisfactory but I believe the long term consequences of endorsing genocide are far worse for us a society and a species.

I'm so voting for the needs of Palestinians, indigenous and women in my vote when our elections come up in Australia. ALP/LNP are not guaranteed any vote ever from me again just because they are both complicit to genocide in Palestine and in our own country .

Anyone who claims to be Zionist while having no idea of what that implies (Biden) has been the perfect Zombie president for AIPAC. Imagine - Biden began his presidency claiming that he was going to put human rights as a central focus to his agenda, while calling himself a Zionist! That's what I describe as pure intellectual failure.

Harris is a desperate liar, but she won't be stupid enough to publicly call herself a Zionist - and especially after the protests against Israeli's genocide begin again in US campuses in September. Those protests should cause some interesting mayhem in the run up to the November elections and probably quite a lot of embarrassment for Harris who has expressed her "deep concern" for Palestinian lives while promoting their deaths.
