    So, the solution is to put Trump in office so he can carpet bomb the Gaza strip and then we just won’t have to hear about Palestine anymore?

    Can’t commit genocide against a people who are already dead!

    I don’t understand the point of this cartoon.

      The solution is state level electoral reform and replacing First Past The Post voting with a more representative voting system such as (but not limited to) Ranked Choice voting.

      Will any Palestinians be left alive to bomb by January?

      They’re not tell you to vote for trump, they’re telling you that your votes don’t matter. The statue quo will not change and if settling for that is all you got then it doesn’t really matter.

      Also, carpet bombing gaza would be mercy compared to what the sick fuck Israeli are doing to them.

          I would repost my previous comment, but I have been banned before for spamming because I had to repeat myself to different people. Even if it’s a unique comment. Even if it is highly relevant to the discussion.

          So to you I would recommend you search through my comment history. I sure hope recommending people to go through my comment history isn’t spamming

          Stating a fact doesn’t make you stand on one side or the other. Saying kamala like Biden will still support a genocide is not an ask to vote for trump. At most, it spread awareness and asks for individual actions at the local level. Working locally so it goes up the ladder is the best bet.

          At the moment, there’s no solution for your joke of a political system consisting of choosing between “we do genocide, but we swear we’re good people” and “we do genocide, hell yeah!”.

              If only your country didn’t want to control the whole world, maybe. But the whole world is concerned with your shitty politics. Nobody want to have bombs being dropped on there house, you know? Believe me, nobody want to care about another country shitty politics, so if the US stoped dropping bombs on random countries, then hallelujah !

                  @CaptainKickass

                  In fact, we aren’t able to stop them and mainstream media aren’t helping either even with our strike. So, what do you want to do ?

                  The only political group that condemned israel is the left coalition NFP more exactly FI. One deputy showed up with the Palestinians flag at the national assemblies and was condemned by Macron political group and the right group.

                  When we support Palestinians they send the police to stop this “propaganda”.

                    J’ai cité votre commentaire pour répondre à quelqu’un qui m’a expliqué que Mélenchon est considéré comme ‘la gauche radicale’ pour ces mêmes raisons, entre autres. Si l’on critique toutes les personnes qui ne se conforment pas au ‘modèle de gauche standard’, qui imite la ‘gauche américaine’, elle-même étant une façade douce d’un impérialisme génocidaire féroce, alors il est inévitable qu’elles soient qualifiées de ‘gauche radicale’.

        Shitty as it may sound, and as broken as the US political system is, our votes do count. Just not as much as they should.

        We need to vote Democrat until we have a viable option further left or that the right starts moving left to pull in voters forcing the Dems to go even further left. The more of us turn out and vote the more the Republican party is going to need to concede if they want to keep getting elected. I’m in a blue state so while my vote may not be the deciding factor I will still cast it for a left candidate so those on the right that do count the votes know that I want progressive policies and that they don’t represent me.

        I’d really like to see third parties focus on the local governments and build enough of a base that they can start competing at the state and national level. But sadly we aren’t there yet. We need to build that local movement first before voting third party in the presidential election makes sense.
