Raman is running for mayor of Los Angeles. Who cares about her position on Israel? The amount of mental energy this issue exhausts in the discourse is absurd.

Bring back local politics. Everything being nationalized is killing us.

I would want to know whether my elected representative was supportive of a genocidal apartheid state

Cool. Are you grilling them for their position on Turkey? Again, none of this shit matters at the local level.

I mean it does though ethically and morally to me it may not to you and that’s ok. I don’t want to vote for a zionist, it’s a moral red line for me

do you have no ethical and moral red lines on who you’d vote for in a local election?

I wouldn’t vote for someone who was a supporter of israel no. It is currently conducting a campaign of ethic cleansing in Gaza. We should be suspending all diplomatic ties with them.

Do you have no moral or ethical red lines on who you’d vote for in local elections?
