Yeah, better make sure red MAGA wins instead so you can get genocide denial, destruction of international law, destruction of local law, a brand new genocide in Europe and less woman and minority rights.
That will sure teach that 81 years old a lesson to see even more people suffer for the rest of their lives until he croaks in a few years!
As someone else said, getting the Republicans elected will not improve anything if people don't change things from the bottom up (it will actually make everything you're angry about worse). The Democrats won't change their stances if they lose that election unless new people take the place of the politicians in place at the moment, they will just rely on people being angrier at the Republicans than they are at them after Trump's next term, the result will be four years of things getting even worse and the Democrats having to fix even more shit when they get back in power in 2028.
Why would Democrats fix anything? They can just use the threat of Republicans to get reelected. Fixing things is not in their interests, because you will vote for them even if they don't fix anything at all.
This genocide is only possible because of our government's logistical, technical, and financial support. It's only possible because we protect Israel from its neighbors, who would have long since intervened if it wouldn't put them into conflict with the US. Israel is the 51st State, what happens there is possible only because of us.
Furthermore, Foucault's Boomerang always comes home! Palestine is where we test border technology, policing tactics, facial recognition software, military AI, new weapons and defenses, and methods of political repression. We send our actual police there for training! IDF come over here to teach tactics to us! They're talking about giving Americans that serve in Israel full veterans benefits! We are not safe.
You think you're safe? This will come back for both of us, the things learned in Palestine will be applied to us when it's our turn. It'll start at the border, then come to the cities, and before you know it they'll come for you too. That's what that phrase is supposed to be warning us of, take your head out of the sand. The empire always comes home.
Because letting my guilt 'crush' me doesn't help anyone. I let it motivate me to vote, donate, and volunteer- things that actually make a small but tangible difference in the world. The guilt means you're human, letting it crush you makes you useless.
Not the person you're asking, but vote for better people in local elections and primaries. The time to choose a better leader for this issue was every election before this one. Vote for better people now to solve tomorrow's problems. Democracy is a constant battle for the future.
