There’s been a lot of posts about Palestinians and Muslims seriously arguing sitting out the next presidential election. To all the ppl who constantly argue how stupid and reactionary doing so is, what exactly are they suppose to do?

Simply vote for the man who is actively supplying the weapons to kill your family/kill ppl just like you because Trump is a giant bigot? Thankfully i don’t have to make such a decision but I wouldn’t blame anyone (especially the family of a dead relative bombed by Israel) to sit this next election out.

For Muslims and Palestinians this next election is a Murderer vs a Murdering racist

You realize that regardless of what the US does, they’re going to be hated by one side or the other. There is no winning this diplomatically.

So we’re going to vote based on which candidate will turn OUR country into a dictatorship, and which one won’t.

And maybe… just maybe- it’s not the US’s problem to begin with. Thats a war that’s gone on for a LONG fucking time.

I agree that they’ll be criticized either way, though it is debatable which would have the worst outcome.

That being said, the US was a major driving force for the creation of Israel, has armed and funded them since, and has protected Israel in the Security Council preventing any international check on their actions . So, most certainly, it was not the US’s problem to begin with, but given US foreign policy for the past 70 years it is inextricably linked to the problem now.
