    Who is the they here?

    The family members of besieged Lebanese and Gazans?

    it’s obviously silly to think they believe Trump will save them, but given the Democratic party wouldn’t even let a Palestinian speak at the party convention, it’s pretty clear that the genocide will continue regardless.

    I think you’re missing the point. These people probably won’t vote for Trump or Harris and that’s enough to swing the election. What has Harris done to earn their vote? Be not Trump? That probably doesn’t mean a whole lot when your entire extended family is dead at the hands of American bombs.

    My question for you is who will you blame if the Dems lose? Will you be angry at Muslims in Michigan or angry at bureaucrats in DC that ignore the pleas of besieged civilians?

      If they don’t vote for anyone then I understand and sympathize. If they vote for ultra-genocide to spite Democrats then they get what they asked for.

            Can you explain what other interpretation there is for the 2nd sentence?

            Because, I can only read it as

            they can get what they ask for

            and “what they ask for” either refers to “ultra-genocide” or “spite”.

              It’s pretty straightforward - if they vote for Trump and Trump gives Israel the go ahead to wipe out all Palestinians then the ones here that voted for that got what they asked for. Pretty simple.

                  Fuck you’re dense. What they asked for by voting for Trump was the acceleration of the death of their people.

                    so, to quote you:

                    they asked for

                    the acceleration of the death of their people.

                    You’re responding to someone saying

                    they deserve

                    and defending that position.

                    This is a thread asking if the original responder was implying that anyone deserves genocide for any reason.

                    I don’t care to engage in this unproductive conversation any longer.

          If they vote for the person who says “I will genocide them” then yes… the people who voted for that person deserve the result.

          Sucks for the Palestinians who don’t get a vote in it though.
