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.

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.

Took me 5 seconds after reading this to find something.

Election 2024 Government & Politics Justice Montana Democratic Party sues to keep Green Party off U.S. Senate ballot

Democrats scramble to remove socialist party candidate from ballots in key swing states NYPost "I know they suck"

Is Democracy on the ballot? Third-party suppression a problem

And something tells me people will reply saying Jill Stein is a Russian agent, but I don't see much evidence of it, while at the same time both parties are working for AIPAC, taking their millions, and both have genocidal tendencies as we are all witnessing around the world right now.

Best keep searching.

The first one is a legit suit about process after the candidate dropped out last minute then they tried to stick another candidate in outside process.

No, just because they are third party the don't get special treatment.

The other two are about socialist and green party presidential candidates. That's exactly what I was talking about.

May I ask, what makes the US a democracy in the first place? I mean they got gerrymandering/cheating, this electoral collage, they also have no problems taking money from corporations, like...

What makes the US a Democracy? I think Democracy is about choice and when I watch our neighbors, they only have 1 choice it seems, the lesser of two evils. That... kinda sucks! Ya know?

Like it's all about the money, dems and Republicans have corporations backing them, all these other parties don't have much funding so.. it just seems to me that the USA is a corporate democracy than a true one.

Thoughts?

There is no county that I'm ware of that is a pure (direct) democracy. The US federal government is a representative republic, aka a democratic republic.

The US is ruled by the people just not directly by the people.

For president, the electoral college is supposed to keep large states from dominating the smaller states. Its sopposed to keep the majority from oppressing the minority. There's more to it, since it's roots are based in giving slave states a leg up but in essence it's not a terrible idea. It could be implemented better.

The US as it's name suggests is a group of disparate states. With very different cultures, racial makeup, and histories.

We could do better, but Trump is not the way.

If you care about Palestine, keep in mind that Trump said in his debate with Biden that Biden was holding Isreal back.

So much so that Biden himself was becoming a Palestinian. Trump then said "Isreal should be allowed to finish the job."

Oh I know, thanks for trying to educate me, I know a bit more than I appear to lol.

I know Trump is worse, it's just a damn effn shame that the people have to vote for genocide to avoid him, if only Garland didn't drag his feet, ya know?

Biden is a proud Zionist..

They all bow down to Israel, no matter what they do. This is what sickens me beyond belief.

I know Trump is HORRIBLE but we gotta recognize why and how he's been able to run again after all that hell through his 4 years in power.

Ok, so If Kamala wins tomorrow, and Trump loses... what will happen then? There's no big bad threat anymore to clutch to, are we gonna see some accountability starting next year like we were all expecting 4 years ago?

It just seems like an endless loop to me, I'm sure Democrats will find some other big bad guy to frighten people to vote for them again, another threat to democracy, another most consequential election, but... when do the bad guys, get what's coming to them?

Will Kamala's choice for DOJ drag their feet again? Will we see some Republican congressmen in cuffs for their part in 1/6, 4 years ago? Are we going to see some fundamental changes this time? Will the US actually live up to all of it's claims?

I dunno!

I hope they can change their ways but given both parties take AIPAC money, I dunno..

The longer this genocide goes on, the less credibility the US gov't has.

I'm just frustrated, I don't mean to sound rude or insult you if you are an American, but when the US sneezes, the world catches it's cold. When the world wants a ceasefire in Gaza, the US vetoes it..

I dunno... I just don't know anymore.
