    Let’s be real here, Harris could bend over backwards and support every single one of their positions and they still would find an excuse not to vote for her. It’s not about actually achieving anything. If they actually cared about Palestinians then they’d work with the one viable candidate who could work towards a ceasefire (and Harris has openly said she wants a ceasefire and two-state solution, don’t give me that “both sides” bullshit. You know Trump is worse) instead of throwing away their vote and pushing nothingburger parties that can’t achieve anything in the current system and siphon votes away from the only viable party who could achieve a ceasefire.

    If they really cared about moving the country forward, they’d be working from within to push the Dems leftwards so that they might get what they want. Change doesn’t happen in a day, and it certainly won’t happen through third parties. In a FPTP system, change must happen from within.
