Sami Hamdi on the US election

Via Instagram @theamericanmuslimdialogue @salhachimi : For Kamala Harris, the road to the White House is paved with the bodies of Palestinians.

The reason Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are not stopping the genocide is because they believe that if the genocide stops, they will lose Zionist support and the election. Now is the time to prove to the American establishment that Zionism is no longer a political asset, but a political liability, by defeating Harris at the polls.

Then, run them in state and local elections. Load up the federal house and senate.

This hail Mary bullshit that happens during the POTUS elections every 4 years just reeks of vote splitting, not offering a reasonable alternative

If there are really parties with better alternatives get them on all the ballots.

If only Democrats stopped suing to keep other parties off the ballot.

But I guess that's how Democracy works in the USA.

Democrats sued to keep 3rd party senate or house reps off ballots? I was unaware. Did a search but couldn't find anything. Please point me to those i world like to look into it. Or are you talking about local or state ballots? Please elaborate.

I did a custom search for years ago, this seems to be a regular occurrence.

The first one is better the second has nothing to do with what we were talking about. Not specifically anyway. Personally I think ranked choice is a good idea.

Curious though. If you're all about 3rd parties and not just about splitting votes for the GOP does it only bother you when Dems do it?

Fortune is a Right leaning publication and even they can see the GOP is using 3rd parties to interfere with the vote.

RFK Jr. Was bankrolled by a Republican megadoner.

If the 3rd party candidates are OK with being GOP tools on the presidential elections. Why would anyone take them seriously?

It bothers me when both parties do it, what gets me is that dems are supposed to be better. We ALL know how horrible the GOP is, it's like preaching to the choir, over and over and over again. When I see AIPAC bankrolling BOTH parties and they're FINE with it? THAT I have a problem with, don't you?

I know how vile they are, this is what infuriates me, when I watched nearly 2 years ago, Democrats bring actual popcorn while swearing in these seditionists without any objection, when Glenn Kushner mentioned the 14th Amendment when that was happening and all they did was mock the GOP, that's when I lost faith in them. It's like Democrats give up too easily, too quickly. At least they tried, right? *sigh*

I thought we'd see some ACTUAL accountability when the GREAT GARLAND got in, but he took over 2 years to appoint Smith, giving Trump all the leeway to run again, he has nuclear secrets of America's allies and he's running again. Now SCOTUS says he's immune for "official acts" WTF!?

I know all about vote splitting, but dude... don't you think the US political system is insane?

Every other party that aren't dems, are GOP plants, every single one of them? This sounds like a GOP talking point lol, no offense.

RFK is a POS, I know that. I'm just saying that it's crazy to observe a country that speaks about Democracy all the effn time when they are not a fully functional one. It's like all the self praise about spreading FREEDOM and LIBERTY and DEMOCRACY and then we see how US elections operate. I'm just fed up with all the elitism.

For a country that speaks about law and order all the time and mentions corruption in other countries, it's kinda funny to watch them.

Again, when you have the GOP blatantly using 3 parties as a weapon, like the right wing article is admitting, what do you think the Dems should do? They are using the law to protect themselves.

I don't disagree with much of what you've said. The US has high aspirations for itself but often doesn't live up to our own expectations of others.

We do seem to be waking up to the oppression we've fostered by Isreal. It's something I've been trying to raise awareness about for years.

Thing is I'm atheist and the support for Isreal is largely religious. We have a lot of religious nut jobs. Talking sense or logic to a zealot is next to impossible.

I just voted, now I have to get back to work.

There's rarely a perfect choice when electing someone to run a country. This election it's pretty obvious who the best choice was.

Hope you have a good day.

Yeah... I agree with mostly everything you said as well.

Well good luck tomorrow! The entire world needs some stability.

Take care, good chat.
