Exactly. The average, well adjusted person doesn't give this kind of thing any thought whatsoever. What rational person would! As if height, or lack of, would play a role in a debate. Sometimes I roll my eyes so hard they roll down the street!

Please help me to understand, Duchess.

After everything you've seen me say on that subject I find it hard to believe that's what you got from it after all this time, but whatever. I don't need to help you to understand, I'm okay with you thinking I support genocide.

If you vote for people who are and will continue to facilitate genocide, what you've said is meaningless.

Well-adjusted people don't participate in genocide, or vote for those who do.

So you don’t vote at all? Cuz u can’t say that genocide has only occurred under one party.

I'll probably vote for Jill Stein. Not really my cup of tea but she's the only candidate that says no military support for Israel.

He thinks he's going to lose. There was no cheating the last time. He knows there was no cheating. He isn't speaking to me, he is speaking to his cult because he's going to burn shit down when he loses again.

Sadly because of aforementioned lack of campaign finance laws ur vote will likely be meaningless. But if I were voting based on what’s happening in Gaza, I’d pick Harris over Trump for sure (as a candidate who’s more likely to try to end the Palestinian genocide).

He’s setting it up just like he did in 2020 (if I lose, it will be a RIGGED election). This is why the description of him as a “real and present threat to democracy” isn’t just hyperbole. He is. Fucking loon.

What makes you think there's a possibility that Harris would pull the plug on military support for Israel? What reason is there to think that she cares one way or the other given her silence up until she became the Democratic nominee?

I'd vote for any of the people who've resigned from the Biden administration over the support of genocide but most definitely not Harris. Or Trump.

That presumes that genocide is compatible with democracy, and that our gov't is acting in accordance with the will of the people.

What does Trump forecasting a rigged election if he loses have to do with genocide? 

U already said u wouldn’t support either candidate because u don’t trust that they’ll stop the genocide of the Palestinians. I understand that although between Harris and Trump I think Harris is more likely to take a stronger stance against Israel. Trump already has a history of supporting Israel and is courting Jewish voters with the inference that Harris is somehow antisemitic (his words “I don’t know how any Jew could vote for her?”). 

What form of government is NOT “compatible” with genocide? Authoritarian? Nope. Socialist? Mmmm, warmer but still not a hard no there. Don’t really get ur point.

I don’t know that any administration is going to entirely pull the plug on military support for Israel given the belief that the U.S. benefits by having a democratic government in the region. But I think Great Britain just started withholding some arms shipments to Israel over their actions in Gaza and I could see Harris (not Trump) possibly following suit. She seems more attuned to the pro Palestine movement and she needs those voters. Whether she can/will follow up if elected remains to be seen.

You imply we are a democratic society to which Trump is a threat. I don't see a person like Trump being on the ballot in a truly democratic society but let's go with that. What's the probability that a people who've established a democratic society would be inclined to support genocide? Somewhere in the vicinity of zero, I think. Nazi Germany is probably best characterized as ultranationalism, and Israel fits that bill to a tee. A military state. In our case, a military state pretending to be a democracy. Israel also happens to be an apartheid state.

Democracy is something I associate with philosophical enlightenment, and military states with philosophical bankruptcy.

He even abuses the english language. He over capitalizes. He uses capitals when it should not be capitalized but in his mind, is important so he can make up his own grammatical rules.

It's because he's dumb & uneducated. He has the vocabulary of a child. I know an 11 year old who could run circles around him.

They're blaming the Biden admin's Afghanistan disaster on Trump.

I know Trump is bad but this is pathetic. Please try harder.

You might want to read some background on the Afghanistan withdrawal and how it came about...or not.

Since you're familiar with the background could you please explain how it prevented the Biden admin from executing an orderly withdrawal?
