Dear Americans,
Vote for Kamala Harris even though both candidates will continue to arm Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people because, yes, the alternative is worse and, yes, because your country – and others like it (the UK and Germany spring to mind) – is so morally bankrupt and undemocratic that your political system doesn’t even leave you the option of not supporting a genocide.
But don’t you dare stop there and pat yourself on the back. (1/3)

Raise hell until they have to listen to you. Disrupt business as usual until you’re no longer complicit in genocide. Change the system so you’re no longer ruled by the whims of billionaires nor locked into a perpetual cycle of binary decisions between terrible and even worse for the rest of your existence or until even that semblance of a choice is taken away from you entirely. (2/3)

And if you’re wondering why we care – being, as you call us, “aliens” and all – it’s because you just so happen to share this finite planet with us and your empire is at the forefront of fucking it up for us all. (3/3)

@aral Genuine question, please be nice - does the US not have a NOTA or a similar option, where you vote for NOTA when no other candidate seems like a good option to you. And if there are a majority of NOTA votes, the parties are forced to rerun in the elections with new candidates or agenda? That is a common thing in India.
Aral Balkan
@amartya Nope. Currently there’s no third option. You can vote third candidate but you’ll basically be electing Trump if you do. It’s not democracy; it’s a hostage situation.

@aral A vote for Trump is a vote for Thiel of Palantir as a shadow president of USA. Thiel / Palantir created #lavender AI which is currently deployed in Israel and used by IDF for the task of targeting and executing Palestinians and Lebanese, without human oversight. Peter Thiel is singlehandedly the main culprit why the death and infrastructure toll is so high.

Republicans are the Gas & Oil Party. The fossil fuel industry is one of the most corrupt industries on the planet.
Netanyahu wants the wealth of Gaza Marine to himself.

Kushner wants to please GOP donors, especially MBS.

@oerum Yep. If folks vote for Harris, pat themselves on the back and then go back to waiting for the next election, I don’t see how it’s not game over. (I mean, it might still be game over this election.)

@aral indeed! Voting for Harris only buys time to start fixing things. At the end of the day the Democrats are headed to a destination that also is not sustainable.
