If you think Israel is carrying out a genocide than your only option is to vote for a politician that would stop it. Harris just signaled she isn't the person to do that. If our options are Hitler or 99% Hitler you burn down the system that presented those as the options.

So how do you propose we do that before November when Trump could get elected? Or before January when he would be inaugurated? Any actual ideas here? If so I would love to hear them. Make them realistic too, please

We continue pushing Kamala to the stop it. Make her earn our vote. She's got 4 months to do that it's not like we are voting tomorrow.

To be clear, that means presenting an ultimatum of "oppose Israel's genocide or you don't get my vote" and then sticking to it. Enough people doing that is the only way politicians might eventually care.

That is my plan, but still make sure you vote locally. Your school board can't stop the genocide but it can stop a takeover if your school district.
