I think it is probably too late. Instead of attacking people supporting 3rd party candidates they should've been demanding the democratic candidates immediately act to stop the genocide, now, not after the election, not someday in the future. If the democratic party wants the votes they have lost by supporting the geocide then they will have to change course now, No more $$ or arms for the country doing the crime, full throated support for prosecution in the international criminal court for the leaders of the genocide nation and open condemnation of them. It needs to be done today because it's been a fucking year of hem-haw word salad excuses while pouring money like gas on a fire into the pockets of the murderous monsters and we don't believe any of the lies anymore. TBH even if the blue candidate did all of these things today ,many of us will still vote against her because all trust is gone. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR A GENOCIDE SUPPORTER EVER.

I had this idea last night, what do you think? Can you help or know those who can?

I was in a Zoom virtual vigil last night for two executions scheduled for Texas and Alabama. It was a moving, powerful, and motivating experience.

It occurred to me that we need a non-stop, 24/7, every-time zone, virtual vigil for all the victims of Gaza, for what has happened on and since October 7, 2023. (Full well knowing it didn’t start then.)

There could be religious leaders sharing their rituals honoring the dead. We could read the name of everyone killed.

Invite musicians, poets, and others to share their artistry. I'm sure that there is much else that could be part of this.

It could have people from all over the world, all religious faiths, and leaders, all us atheists too. I am not claiming it will solve the issue, but it might help ease a bit of the pain, might help build community, show solidarity, and let us know we are not alone.

Is it a good idea? If so, who has the skills and contacts to do this? How can we make this happen?

My ballot, marked for Dr. Jill Stein, yet again, is in the arms of the international, then US postal services. The level of depravity at the top levels of Western governments, and the lengths they are willing to go to attempt total domination, is now too apparent for a growing number of people who will not go quietly into that totalitarian night.
