as a person that came from the 3rd world country and new in fediverse environment, i genuinely would like to know about this.

edit: thanks for the replies! sorry, i literally don’t know the reason since i’m not a western lol. twitter/x is too biased especially when musk openly supports trump so i came here and seeing fediverse is mostly are harris or biden (when he’s still up for the candidate) supporters. don’t know about reddit tho, i only use reddit as a forum for linux and programming stuff.

        Whichever candidate is willing to end the genocide not that I’d believe trump if he said he would. I’ll vote third party if necessary

          Harris is working to end the genocide right now. She’s fighting for a permanent ceasefire and two state solution. That might not be your preferred way to resolve the conflict, but it would stop the carnage and give Palestine more leverage to negotiate on the world stage.

            Yeah… no. If she was working towards that she would have ended all weapon supplies to Israel. What she is doing is putting on a face and pretending to care.

              She can’t end all weapon supplies to Israel, she’s the vice president.

              Even Biden couldn’t do it, he paused shipments and Congress passed a bill forcing them to resume. The power of the president is limited, especially when a super majority of Congress are firmly committed to sending weapons to Israel.

                She isn’t even promising it. She won’t do it nor ask Biden to do it. She is helping fund the genocide. Neither have spine.

              You do realize that she’s the Vice President and doesn’t actually have any authority or power unless Biden kicks the bucket, right?

              Because it really seems like you think that she has any ability to make unilateral decisions or enact her policy platform right this second, and that simply isn’t the case.

                She has the.potential to be President yet doesn’t even want to offer this! It’s unreasonable that even the current US President won’t somehow find a legal way to stop weapons exports to a people literally committing war crimes on a daily basis by the admission of almost every expert worldwide on anything related to law, the UN, global health or humanitarian work.

                It’s not because they are incapable. It’s because they have no spine. And worse they have somehow convinced people like you that it’s our of their hands.

                  Biden absolutely has some control over this, but Netanyahu is the bigger problem at the moment. Biden has influence over Netanyahu (with a lot of caveats and red tape due to decades of foreign policy), and Harris has influence over Biden…but that’s not the same thing as absolute control. There are also parts of this that have to get approved by congress and there’s only so much the office of the president can do unilaterally.

                  They can be doing more, and they should be doing more, but Harris’ role and capability is limited to that of an advisor (under strict scrutiny from everyone) right now, and that doesn’t actually give her that much power.

                    Like I said, they convinced you they are not able to stop weapon exorts to a war criming nation. Did they have a problem like that when it came to Russia? Nope.

      The Americans are lost. Their version of democracy has collapsed over their own heads. In a way, they deserve this shit. If they put all this crappy energy into unitedly voting for third candidate, it just might work. But nope, gotta wake up every day and go online to accuse people who refuse a second holocaust of being tRuMp SupPorTers.

      Free thought is dead in America and the Americans killed it.

      Go ahead downvote me to fucking hell, haters.
