    “I know I support the murder of you and your people. But I’m still going to need you to vote for me, so that I can preserve democracy and the economy. You may not live to see it, but the rest of us will really appreciate it.”

      I know some choices are hard, but my parents aren’t around to make them for me anymore, and voting takes so much effort. It doesn’t really matter anyway, both sides are exactly the same. I’ll just not vote and whomever wins, wins. This is America, I’ve got inalienable rights, so it won’t get that bad.

        I learned inalienable rights weren’t inalienable when I got my first history lesson in 1st grade.

      Gonna be honest with you. I care way more about the nation I live in and its democracy and my human rights and the human rights of the ones I love than I do about two nations on the other side of the planet continuing a fucking holy war that’s been going on all my life.

      Apparently you do not.

      P.S. Gaza is worse off under Trump. And he made it clear that would be the case before the election.
