    I want to minimize Palestinian suffering as much as possible. There is clearly a worse option and no alternative to Trump and Harris. There’s only one way to reduce harm. I hate that I have to keep doing this lesser of all evil shit but that’s what we’re living with right now.

    Trump obviously doesn’t want any brown people in this country. Building a wall, Muslim ban. Does that go for the 15% of Indians that practice Islam? Watch out Hindu’s, you’re next. I don’t understand how he is even considered an option.

      Building a wall

      …

      Vice President Kamala Harris likes to portray herself as tough on the border and immigration.

      Recent TV ads highlight her time as a “border state prosecutor” who aggressively targeted criminal cartels and drug smugglers, as well as her support for “the toughest border security bill in decades.”

      That bill, which failed in the Senate in February and again in May, included $650 million for new border wall construction. Images of the border wall built during the Trump administration are featured in the Harris ads, yet Harris repeatedly criticized the wall over the years, describing it as an affront to both hers and America’s values.

      Muslim ban

      I know Biden wants to codify what Trump used for his ban, but I don’t think Kamala has disclosed her stance on if a president should have the power to unilaterally close the border for all refugees or just a subset.

      But that’s why some people can’t pick, because the Democratic party has become significantly more “conservative” since 2012.
