I got into this argument the other day. People’s arrogance and lack of common sense was disappointing.

I'm going to be 100% with yall that comment and post this shit.

Before I go on, let me say I voted dem and know they would be better for the world over Trump.

But is that's the standard and argument you expect people to vote for, you are in for a rude awakening... To anyone reading this or agreeing with these outright insulting comments and posts about how you know better need to take a long look in the mirror. Because...

If the only support you are giving to the Palestinian and Arab people is voting Dem and having arguments about lesser evils, then you are not helping the situation.

Yes vote dem. But get off your ass and protest, donate, and support those communities currently harmed be democrats disastrous Gaza and Middle East policy. That's how you sway hearts and minds. These fucking backhanded, self serving, ignorant posts and comments won't stop anything but prove to those communities that the democrats base does not give a shit about anything that doesn't directly effect themselves.

Yall are missing the forest from the trees. Not voting for the light genicidal party nor the full genicidal party isn't some gotcha win for Trump. It's a failure on our part to demand our party doesn't continue using our votes to do harm.

call your senators daily and demand they publicly denounce Israel and the IDF. Donate money to organizations that are saving lives destroyed by our bombs. March with your fellow Palestinian and Arab brothers and sisters. Divest and boycott any business with ties to Isreal and the IDF.

But Ya im sure comparing individuals that have lost friends and family to bombs provided by the Democrat administration, to Lord Farquaad. We're better than this. This is just conservative tactics used on a population that we need to vote blue! We are better than this! show some empathy and get involved. I have Palestinian friends and they would spit in your face if you said this kind of shit to their face because it's removing the humanity of the 40k people killed by Isreal via bombs provided by Biden/Harris. If you/we don't care why should they?

Edit: just realized how tone deaf this post is. Who's more like Lord Farquaad? Palestinian and Arab Americans who's friends and family are being displaced, starved, and bombed? Or literally the leadership that didn't even allow Palestinians to speak at a convention and is currently providing bombs and aid to Isreal?

Thank you so much for this detailed response. I think I'm gonna vote for Kamala, not because I think Kamala is gonna do good things for the Middle East.

I'm voting because either we get a president that may or may not listen to protesters, or we'll get one that will wipe out protesting nationwide.
