  • It’s a really heavy choice — every choice is loss. It is so deeply dehumanizing to have to ignore a genocide and complicity in it, and a promise to continue the same policy, which is what Vice President Harris has said. At the end of the day, we’re being presented with a little bit of a false choice: If people can be protesting on this scale, and we don’t have an option that can align with that, and you can suppress anti-genocide voters in that calculus, I don’t know what kind of democracy you’re protecting. And that’s really heavy. My sister is trying to fill in her ballot, and she’s like, “I feel physically nauseous.” That’s real. If I see a shredded child on my timeline again, I don’t know what I’m expected to do, like, vote for that?

    This is more than a single issue vote. How can you expect people to cast a ballot knowing that no matter what they choose their ethnicity will be slaughtered from their own tax dollars.

People should actually read the article and understand what’s happening in swing states like Michigan. Ignoring the problem isn’t going to make it go away.
