    Why is the blood on your hands? For voting for the guy who was less keen on killing Palestinians?

    Do you forget that Trump intentionally and actively stirred the pot in the region? That he aligned himself with Bibi, not just Israel, because he likes tinpot dictators? Moved the embassy to Jerusalem just to stir shit up and make it messy? Appointed his son-in-law Jared Kushner in charge of peace negotiations because getting his special boy a cushy job mattered more than protecting life?

    What could you have possibly done differently to protect life over there? Any other choice you would’ve made would’ve been a worse outcome for the region. THEN you would be culpable.

    A vote is not some deep sign of moral commitment to the candidate. Get over yourself if you think it is. Votes are a commodity. You spend it to affect change. You don’t always get great value on your money, but you have to min max.
