More than a thousand Harvard students walked out of their commencement ceremony yesterday to support 13 undergraduates who were barred from graduating after they participated in the Gaza solidarity encampment in Harvard Yard.

Asmer Safi, one of the 13 pro-Palestinian student protesters barred from graduating, says that while his future has been thrown into uncertainty while he is on probation, he has no regrets about standing up for Palestinian rights.

To what end are you trying to highlight that distinction though? What is the goal or motivation for writing that?

The lesser of two evils is also known as “the better choice”.

Unlike some paying lip service about "red lines", my promises are real. My red line is genocide.

You can vote for your varying levels of evil, I will not vote for genocide.

Personally I think it's probably best for Americans to vote Biden, since that will give the left some more time to organize, but I get that it's just too much for some to swallow. I'm just glad I have actual options in my country.

It’s America, you don’t get the choice to vote against genocide.

Just like you don’t get the choice to vote against capitalism.

Democracy.

If yout live in a swing state, maybe. Those of us in solid states can vote however we like as our votes don't matter anyway

Great system we have

That's not what I was asking about, what did you hope to accomplish? Are you actually trying to convince people or did you just think you'd feel better if you did?
