   “you are potentially causing more harm than good with your ‘unapologetic anti-genocide’ ridiculousness”

   A real thing some USian liberal just said to me.

   I have no words.

     I've been biting my tongue for fear of appearing centrist on this issue.
     Here's what gets me:
     It is possible to accept that yes, Trump would be worse for Gaza, yes it is a two party system so on voting day it's best to hold your nose and vote Harris..... AND to understand that voting is sometimes less important than street power, and that pressure before the election is worth much more than after, so we have to hold their feet to the fire NOW.

     @jaystephens I wouldn’t worry. I’ve seen my share of centrist takes on this subject; yours is downright radical in comparison.
