Shit like this is the exact goddamn reason I left Reddit holy fuck.

As a woman, unironically yes

Two main points: Workers individually are powerless, that’s the point of unions. I work in the media industry and if I quit a job with no notice it’ll take me minimum 6 months to find a new one. That’s 6 months of grabbing an income wherever I can, and if we rule out shareholder owned entities that’s easily 6 months without an income entirely.

Kamala Harris isn’t alone in wanting the ceasefire but she’s in the extreme minority among her peers (i.e. congress). But let’s say you’re right, let’s pretend she has the exact same views on Israel as Trump. In that case the only things on the ballot were the safety of people abroad in Ukraine, the refugees domestically who are at risk of being sent back to hostile territory, Queer people, especially transgender people who are running out of safe countries to be, what about anybody who wants to criticize America without the US Millitary being sent after them. Even though you see all these minorities as worthless, they’ll be coming for you eventually. First they came for the socialists.

Between the two inevitable options, Harris was willing to negotiate a ceasefire. I realize there’s theoretically faster options but I was unwilling to make minorities all over the world die on that hill. It’s purely a place of privilege to think there’s no difference between wiping Palestinians off the map, and stopping the war in place.

They’re both right. If you didn’t vote for Harris, you were incredibly misguided. But it’s not my job to get Harris elected, it’s the DNC’s.
