As a veteran with an honorable discharge, I wonder what it now means as we effectively kill 40 children A Day with our funding of Gaza under this administration. Isn't a vote for Harris an endorsement of genocide? And Trump, if we are to believe his support of Netanyahu, likewise. History, I believe will speak on this.

I fretted this entire year, and was finally persuaded by Bernie's 5 minute talk an Gaza. Mine is a conditional vote, based on stopping the war in Gaza. And Ukraine as well. The climate does not care if it is bombs, fossil fuel, or forest fires that create the burning-burning greenhouse cooker. Only a different course will offer us a future.

I usually agree with Bernie on most everything, but not this genocide in Gaza. You should not have voted for Trump or Harris.

I cannot argue.... and then I cannot stand mute. Either vote, I agree, is to endorse genocide. A choice between katchit and dog poo in no choice at all. Our political fund raising cycle produced a universal disenfranchiser. None-of-the-above ought to have been the winner. Still, winning and losing is not the way to frame politics in a functioning democracy, but coming together. That is not what the $16 Billion was spent upon. What is choice between arrogance and arrogance?
