    I basically agree 100% and am voting for Harris with no hesitation… however saying that the difference between a B+ and an A is a genocide or two is kind of an odd way to put it.

      I’m a realist.

      The US has been involved in one genocide or another since its founding. We Can do better, but likely will not.

      And I’m also a student of history. Almost every country on the planet has been or is currently involved in some sort of genocide or ethnic cleansing. Because humans kind of suck. We can be better, but we almost never make that choice.

        Also the current choice is between “steady as she goes (genocide and all)” and “ramp that genocide right the fuck up, maybe do some at home again, too”.

          Biden and Harris have made some slight noises about being unhappy with Israel.

          But they’re likely waiting for after the election to make any sort of move. But I’m not hopeful that it will be a large move.

          Trump would make a large move to ramp things up.
