Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) shares his message to voters in the Uncommitted Movement who are considering not voting in the presidential race over the Biden administration's handling of Israel.
Thinking killing is wrong is not ignorant. Deliberately ignoring the point is ignorant. If Harris loses Trump wins, and if Trump wins things will be a lot worse for Palestine. Refusing to help because you’re standing on an imaginary moral high ground is both wrong AND ignorant, because you’re clearly smart enough to look beyond your own righteousness. You have no excuse.
You’ve done the dark calculus and made a strategic vote, its doesn’t mean you endorse everything Kamala does.
The reality is Kamala will likely be more amenable to pressure here than the Trump. At worst you’ve protected the small number of palestinian refugees to the US from further persecution. At best you create a lasting problem for Netanyahu by electing people who aren’t cheerleading the genocide.

How do you want me to help?
Help elect Kamala Harris by voting for her.
I can’t, that would be illegal.
Stay out of our politics.
Assuming you are actually an American citizen: you vote for Kamala Harris.
If Kamala Harris wins, and innocent people still die from state terrorism, what next?

Then we hold our politicians accountable? Because we still can? Because we still have a functioning Republic, and not a fucking Autocracy?
