    If it was about genocide, trump wouldn’t have won.

    That makes no sense. Polls confirm Republicans care far less about the genocide than independents and Democrats. You need to appeal to your base to win.

    However, she was less leaning towards genocide in Gaza than he was

    She literally promised no deviation from Biden’s policies regarding Israel. Are you familiar with the story of the man with down syndrome who spoke his first and last words - “Habibi, please stop” - to a Zionazi attack dog who mauled him before they left him to die from his injuries, alone in his home? That’s what Harris promised no deviation from. If you expect people to vote for that, your soul is compromised.

      Yes, you need to appeal to your base to win. However, if voters are choosing between two candidates with almost identical positions on a topic, that’s not the deciding topic in that election.

      Maybe it should have been, but it wasn’t. If those against genocide really cared about it as their single issuez they would have still voted Harris, who promised nonchangez as opposed to trump who said he’d let Israel do whatever they want.

      It’s a fallacious argument.

        …Those are the same thing. Biden also let Israel do whatever they want.

        I am against genocide so I do not vote for genocide. A truly mind-boggling approach.

      If you’ve read the news this past year, no doubt you’ld be aware trump is doing what he said he’d do, and also did his first term. Good job! She wasn’t in charge when she made those statements. Trump IS.

        Was she in charge of her own mouth when she promised no deviation from Biden’s policy of also letting Israel do whatever they want?

        You’re defending an avowed genocidaire. Evaluate what led you here.
