What makes you think a Trump presidency would be better for Palestinians?
No, it will be pretty much exactly the same - caveat being that Trump is politically incompetent at this game, which could (and that's a pretty risky "could") prove better for the Palestinian resistance in the long run. But that is neither here nor there and perfectly impossible to predict - the only thing we can predict is an escalation of US foreign policy (for Israel, of course), and that will remain the exact same whether under Trump or Biden.
Of course... if Biden (somehow) manages to win in November white liberals in the US will conveniently forget about Gaza - something that won't happen under Trump.
I have thought critically about it.
So have you figured out why (so-called) "liberal democracy" only manages to be about as "democratic" as "social darwinism" is Darwinist?
Voting for the bad, but marginally less bad option
"Lesser evilism" is hitting rock bottom, Clyde - and so is liberalism itself. That is perfectly apparent - liberals refusing to believe it is irrelevant. "Voting harder" will not stop that, and the chances of voting even slowing it down was a decent argument in 2020, but not after liberalism showed the entire planet it's true hand in a little place called Gaza.
Insight a revolution?
Do you have the power or the know-how to do that, perhaps? No? Then I guess the answer is no, isn't it?
I will tell you what I tell every liberal that demands convenient solutions as soon as an actual leftist points out the gigantic gaping holes in the liberal world-view - start by doing the work of actually understanding how you got into this mess in the first place.
It's not much, but it's a start. And it's a shit-ton more politically pro-active than simply voting for some guy in an expensive suit.
All I’m seeing are people telling me both parties are the same,
That's not exactly true... they serve the same status quo - and they wouldn't be able to do that very effectively if they were exactly the same.
You don’t just cede to outright fascism just because.
Both parties might not exactly be the same... but both of them are perfectly fine with fascism. After all... both parties have happily funded, supported and enabled Israel's (a fascist state) genocide since the '70s - and that's just the one US-sponsored colonialist bloodbath the media is actually telling you about.
There's a saying amongst leftists - fascism is just colonialism coming home to roost. And guess what... you have decades' worth of colonialism inbound. Somehow, I don't think a cross on a ballot is going to cut it.
What white liberals say is "good" for them is diametrically opposed to what is good for everybody else. I don't think Palestinians (and the majority of the world's people whose sympathy has now decisively swung their way) believe that a "quieter" genocide (which is what white liberals want) would be "good" for them, for instance.
it’s a harm reduction measure,
There's a fine line between harm reduction and appeasement.
I have been given very few options
Just a suggestion... but perhaps it's time you start to think critically about the people and institutions "giving" you these (so-called) "options?"
It might not sound like much - but everything has to start somewhere.
Let me rephrase then - your political establishment has proven that it will happily subject you to the exact same fascist policies that it has been practising in the outside world for a very long time now... and you expect people who point this out to you to also provide you with a solution to this state of affairs?
So... basically white liberals that wants everything to continue as normal as long as the political establishment remains quiet about it?
we are allowed to vote for one or the other.
How does that change anything?
I think it makes sense why most people would want to vote for the good cop.
It's one thing to not realize it's a "good cop/bad cop" routine - it's quite another to realize what it is and then still fall for it by pretending that the (supposed) "good cop" isn't a cop.
Oh the French? You mean the state that helped arm, train and fund the people that perpetrated the Rwandan Genocide and is still, to this day, protecting the architects of said genocide?
I know everyone wants to point out that she may be referring to the brutal colonialist exploitation that lithium ion battery technology rests upon - but the way the quote is placed and framed tells me instead that we are not being told everything about this "techno-miracle."
Why worship a piece of colored fabric and when you can worship a piece of paper that literally institutionalizes the practice of slavery instead of abolishing it?
I guess that's just not "troublesome" enough for the average white liberal, eh?
No, it will be pretty much exactly the same - caveat being that Trump is politically incompetent at this game, which could (and that's a pretty risky "could") prove better for the Palestinian resistance in the long run.
