So do you plan on doing anything about it, or just going to pout about it and feel good about not voting when those people get bombed harder?
This is just virtue signaling. If you cared about the people you’d want to reduce the harm they’re facing, not try to moralize your bad choice on the Internet.
This is a two-way street though. You’d think the democratic establishment would also want to increase their electoral odds in order to reduce harm.
Like, the stakes are so high, and it’s so weird to see them betting the horse on Israel. It’s frankly irresponsible for Democrats to be playing politics like that at a time like this.
They’re not betting the house on Israel. They’re hedging. They increased aid to Palestine, they delayed arms shipments, and they’ve been pursuing a ceasefire deal like their lives depended on it.
Then stop sending weapons. If Israel cannot guarantee aid delivery then they should not receive weapons. Especially considering aid delivery is as simple as driving into Gaza and letting starving people grab food. If they can’t keep their settlers from stopping the trucks and they can’t effectively distribute aid then they aren’t in control and we need a UN peacekeeping mission there right away.
And there is no credible evidence Hamas is stealing aid. Those are just more Israeli claims with no evidence backing them up.
How would he do it faster? The last time he tried to get the military to commit crimes they straight up told him no and reminded the entire force their oaths are to the Constitution, not Trump. He can certainly deploy them, but he cannot force them to participate in crimes once there. The very first Corp level Civil Affairs officer that touches the ground will ensure Aid is processed into Gaza as fast as possible, no matter what the Israelis or Trump think about it.
So Trump would need an entirely new force which doesn’t happen overnight, and oh yeah we’ve got to somehow get Biden to reverse course on this and lose while doing the right thing in a race against a convicted felon. Because as it stands Trump won’t need to do anything. This isn’t something on the timeline of years. That’s what happens when the world manages to get aid into the affected region and we play whack a mole with starving people. (And there’s still a ton of people dying.) In the scenario where aid is effectively stopped we don’t have that effect and the death rate is going to be far higher.
I think we’re down low enough that no one is at risk of being suckered in by your brain rot, so I’m just gonna quit with the charade that you’re a reasonable person making arguments in good faith.
On top of this, you have the bigger picture. What will happen if Trump wins?
It will get harder to go to college, as Trump works to gut Pell Grants and cap Stafford Loans.
If you have gone to college, it will get harder as Trump will increase the monthly amount you have to pay and not reward you for going into lower-paying public service jobs.
Gay marriage will be put on the chopping block.
Laws stopping discrimination against Gays and Minorities will be repealed and/or not enforced.
This is just the most benign parts of Project 2025. It gets worse from there.
So, on top of more people dying, we’ll suffer here at home because of idiots like Maggoty here.
Sure, but I don’t even want to get into all that. They’ll just pivot back to the stupid “genocide Joe” bullshit. I want to pin em down on that, because even THAT makes no goddamn sense.
And they’re right. And you’re wrong but don’t want to listen, so here we are.
If the choice is people dying or people dying then the system is no longer legitimate.

You want them to bet the house on Palestine.
Increased what aid? The aid agencies are reporting the warehouses are empty. There is no aid getting in.
US sends aid, Israel or Hamas steals it. You want Biden to put American troops on the ground to ensure distribution?
Then stop sending weapons. If Israel cannot guarantee aid delivery then they should not receive weapons. Especially considering aid delivery is as simple as driving into Gaza and letting starving people grab food.

Finally, an actionable demand. I happen to agree. Stick with that. Stop with your extra lies and bullshit.
Ah yes all moral actions are just utilitarian so we should abandon morality.
So, nothing.

American voters have never had the power to decide US foreign policy.
You have the choice of people dying or MORE people dying though. Seems like a very obvious choice.
Not really. You can’t extra die. People are starving now. Not next January.
You think that, under Biden, literally every single Palestinian will die?
Because that’s what Trump has said he wants.
First, Trump isn’t any more or less capable of doing that than Biden. Both of them have the same toolset to work with.
Second, yes, if you starve the open air concentration camp you can in fact kill everyone there in a few months.
Yeah but one will and one won’t. Who cares about capacity, we’re talking about (well documented, I should add) intentions.
Trump would definitely do it faster and more thoroughly.
How would he do it faster? The last time he tried to get the military to commit crimes they straight up told him no and reminded the entire force their oaths are to the Constitution, not Trump.
