    No. No I am not. There is a hell of a lot more they can do.

    As I have already said, I spend 4-5 hours a week contacting politicians on behalf of JVP.

    What do you do? Have you sent even one form letter? Made one phone call? Shown up to one office? When was the last time you had a one-on-one conversation with a Palestinian about their wishes and needs?

    Also, I never campaigned for anyone, so I have no idea why you’re lying.

      You literally stated you were campaigning in context of not supporting third parties so maybe clarify more in the future. I’m Lebanese and was in vicinity of bombing not too long ago. Again, I’m not saying to not participate in polticial life but to participate productively and not against the interest of people domestically and abroad which is what the Democrats clearly represent (and of course the Republicans are an even bigger enemy of humanity but that goes without saying) of at this stage for anyone with genuine convictions looking beyond rhetoric. Harm reduction did not work in 2016, 2020 or 2024 and will not work moving forward unless you seek alternative parties/independents.

        Where did I say that? Please quote me.

        Because, again, I never campaigned for anyone.

        I have no idea why you are continuing to maintain this silly lie.
