I'd give anything to be able to effectively communicate to people who are going to hand Trump the presidency because they want to protest Biden/Harris's support of Israel how much they're going to regret that decision.

How do you convince an entire group of people that think they're doing the right thing that they're about to do the one thing that a future version of themselves would go back in a time machine and change immediately?

Evidently, "the people you are claiming to support really don't want you doing this" isn't enough. And "the person you're doing this against really wants you to do it" doesn't move the needle.
When your allies are against your decision and your enemies are for it, and that isn't enough to make you realize it, what else is there?

@rodhilton I hope a great number of the loudest stupid voices are bad faith actors working for other countries.

@hacks4pancakes @rodhilton because you think opposing a genocide and demanding international and American law apply to an ethno-supremacist regime is a Russian plot?

@seanjhurley @rodhilton Yes. I think purposefully electing one person who supports Israel over the other person who also supports Israel but doesn’t directly intend to install themselves as a despot and then take away women and gay people’s rights in America - then conduct great violence against trans people and immigrants, including Palestinian refugees, is incredibly short sided and sad.

@n_dimension @seanjhurley @rodhilton I should have spelled it out: Russia loves the idea of a weakened America with a malleable dictator in charge. And escalating tensions between Iran and Israel benefit them.

Putin didn't need to weaken the USA.
It did it to itself.

To those who are not voting for Harris because of this issue. It has become a loaded phrase, but 'harm reduction' is the reason to reconsider and vote for Harris even if this is the only issue you care about.
It's horrible what is happening now, but if Trump wins more Palestinians will die. If you care about Palestinian lives that leaves you with no other moral choice. It's ugly. War us ugly. But not voting for Harris will kill more of the people you profess to support.
