    Words don’t stop genocides, actions do

    In the face of a christo-fascist takeover your argument’s strategy of doing nothing because of moral reasons is useless.

    the Biden-Harris administration has made no actions to prove that they are any better than Republicans on this issue.

    See open letters cited in previous sources. Trump said Israel needs to complete their genocide. See previous sources.

    There won’t be any Democratic Party to leverage once Republicans jail their political opponents and we are all in death camps.

    We need to keep our democracy long enough to change our society for the better. This means voting is a mechanical choice each election cycle and that grassroots movements are used to get more progressive and socialist candidates into positions of power between elections. The calculus for pro-Palestinian groups is the same. Vote!

      I’m talking about what the Pro-Palestine groups are doing, not what I’m doing, since you keep saying Pro-Palestine groups should promote Democratic candidates so I’m explaining why they aren’t doing that. Since you think you know how a pro-Palestine organization should be run, why don’t you go to a protest, find an organizer, and tell them your idea then let me know how that goes? I’m not in charge of those groups so if you’re going to argue about what candidates Pro-Palestine groups should support you’re wasting your energy on the wrong person.
