    Well, for one, vote for the only major party that MIGHT give a shit about Gaza or may be less gung-ho about supporting Israel, and for two, advocate in other ways. Organize protests, make calls to your representatives and senators, donate to charities that will assist the people of Gaza, etc.

    Keep in mind, Donald Trump moved the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and doesn’t give a flying fuck about Gaza. He’s worse for Gaza than “Genocide Joe” is.

      Organize protests

      There have been protests about Biden sending arms to Israel. He continues to send arms to Israel. Politicians ignore protests.

      make calls to your representatives and senators

      People have called their representatives and senators objecting to sending arms to Israel. Arms continue to be sent to Israel.

      Clearly neither of these have worked. What else have you got?

        It’s like you’re expecting national policy to turn instantly based on protests. That’s now how the world works, unfortunately. Things take time.

        It’s terrible, I’m not in any way trying to downplay the genocide that is happening. But Israel and the US have been firm allies for a long time. Change won’t come quickly. And it won’t come at all if Trump is elected.

          It’s like you’re expecting national policy to turn instantly based on protests.

          You’re the one who claimed protesting works. If it did we would see material changes resulting from protests. We don’t. Protests obviously don’t work.

          If your claim is “protests change policy decades later sometimes” then state that plainly.

            Protesting does work. It just doesn’t result in immediate change. Nothing results in immediate change. Expecting it to is childish.

              Protesting does work.

              Ok then expand on this claim I know exactly what you mean. Be specific. Explain how we can know which protests will and won’t work and explain what time frame we can expect.

                Ah, gotta call in the mods when I call you out? Fair enough, I wasn’t very civil (though I’m convinced you’re not arguing in good faith to begin with).

                Let’s try again.

                Roflmao, I have to do all that work to justify voting against fascism?

                Kindly go ply your goalpost-moving trade elsewhere, perhaps under a bridge? That is where those who don’t argue in good faith are most welcome, as I understand it.

                Have a nice day!

                    So you can’t. Got it.

                    Protesting doesn’t do shit.

                    You’re so right. That’s why nothing has ever changed. Women still can’t vote. PoC still use separate bathrooms. Sodomy is illegal and gay people can’t get married. How wise you are!

                    Again, kindly, civilly, and politely fuck off.
