"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing." But hey, I'm sure those good men felt the same way you do.

That quote is such a funny thing. My mom once quoted it to me as a reason to support the Iraq War. I didn't even know how to respond to that because it was so completely backwards. The way I saw it, the invasion of Iraq was evil triumphing because good people did nothing to stop it.

That's how I feel about you saying it to me now. Evil is triumphing in Gaza precisely because people aren't willing to take a stand on it.

Ahhh yes, the oh so helpful stand of not voting for a party that could win.

Like, you do understand that Harris likely means fewer dead Palestinians than trump, yes? This isn't complicated.

Harris is vice president. There's a genocide ongoing under her and Biden's approval. End of the story. She has also repeatedly expressed her lack of will to change the current situation.

Ahhh yes, as VP she shouls strike out and create her own foreign policy while under another administration!

The irony is I don't imagine you understand how ridiculously silly that statement was.

Though I'm curious how helping trump will somehow help the Palestineans.
