It seems to require a lack of critical thinking to avoid voting for Harris because of this since Trump will offer no better alternative.
Harris's position is wrong, of course, but avoiding a Trump presidency is crucial.
A Trump presidency would be categorically worse for Palestine.
People voting for Stein, rather than Harris, over Palestine are the very epitome of bad critical thinking skills.
A main sponsor of the Green Party this election is Russia (1, 2, 3); Stein opposes US support for Ukraine, and essentially blames Russia's invasion on the US.
It requires little brain capacity to not support Genocide. Try asking Harris to do that.
I would love to. I think Harris' position is abhorrent. But I think Trump is a larger threat to peace in Palestine and Jill Stein will not win. If we take those thoughts one step further, it doesn't make a lot of sense to avoid Harris.
Do you think a Trump presidency will be better or worse for the Palestinians than a Harris administration?
Tell that to Muslim voters, who are split between Harris and Stein, and that can potentially swing Michigan and Pennsylvania.
That's the challenge the DNC has, isn't it? I wouldn't relish that job since I think Harris' position won't change, the DNC being the institution it is.
I think if I had do, I'd argue that while the DNC is 100% wrong on Palestine, Trump is stronger in his support of Israel, he's even less sympathetic to the Palestinians AND he will aim to make life in America harder for Muslims just as he tried in his first term.
It's a pragmatic choice, not an enthusiastic one, and it's hard to drive voters to the polls on pragmatism alone.
If Democrats lose Pennsylvania and Michigan because Muslim voters are largely shifting to the Green Party, the Dems will only have themselves to blame.
This post has had a number of reports. It technically doesn't break any rules, and it's also on -74 votes, so I'm not going to remove it.
Lemmy has a weird issue with users being extraordinarily upset with posts they don't agree with.
Users can't seem to just downvote them, and move on. They have to use the report button as a super downvote. And pm to the mods to complain about how >:( they are.
