In reply to the discussion: The idea you would stay home and not vote for Kamala Harris because of Gaza [View all]Killing them all or removing them all for them means little difference.

I think that the reason Kamala didn't get elected is more complicated than that.

Yes, the election was rigged, but are you saying supporting Harris was pro-genocide?
