More than 100 Arizona Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and progressive Democrats and community leaders have signed a letter making the case for those reluctant to support Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.

“We know that many in our communities are resistant to vote for Kamala Harris because of the Biden administration’s complicity in the genocide,” the letter, published Thursday night, reads.

“Some of us have lost many family members in Gaza and Lebanon. We respect those who feel they simply can’t vote for a member of the administration that sent the bombs that may have killed their loved ones,” the letter continued. “As we consider the full situation carefully, however, we conclude that voting for Kamala Harris is the best option for the Palestinian cause and all of our communities.”

Judging by your first sentence, I think your goal is to put people down for voting for a candidate you don't like. Justify it however you want, I'm just tired of seeing people hyper focused on one foreign policy issue that, once resolved, will be forgotten about until that region is destabilized again.

Broaden your horizons, think freely, and don't vote for a President who isn't worthy of the office.

Uh when have i ever put someone down for voting for harris? Ive been putting people down for being ignorant twats for being holier than thou about voting for lesser evils as if its the only option in play. Those are two very different things. I think harris is a horrible candidate in general, so did many Americans in 2019 and apparently in 2024. Her platform is horrible; and shes willing to allow a minority group to be murder for votes. But i totally get why people prefer her over trump. Im just not willing to support her in my state. Why? Firstly its unnecessary, secondly it ensures my politicians know voters will leave them.

Finally you're comfortable with commiting genocide i get it. Im not. You do you. Personally i dont think we should be supplying weapons for mass murder of a people and apparently our laws feel the same. So maybe our law and order candidate should get on board the no genocide train.
