Imagine thinking that Trump would somehow be better for Palestine.

"(Trump) hasn't expressed, as far as I know, any concerns about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza," said Dov Waxman, director of the Nazarian Center for Israeli Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. "And I don't think if he were to be president again, he would pressure the Israeli government to minimize Palestinian civilian casualties or to allow more humanitarian aid in."

"Not rhetorically, but in terms of really sidelining the Palestinians," said Nadav Shelef, a political science and Israeli studies professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Trump took a pro- Israeli, right-wing position that effectively gave Israel everything it wanted without giving anything to the Palestinians."

In 2020, Trump presented a two-state solution plan that would have limited the sovereign powers of a Palestinian state and allowed Israel to control security over the Palestinian state, which would be demilitarized. Israel would also have sovereignty over certain parts of the occupied West Bank.

In 2019, Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Israeli settlements in the West Bank did not violate international law. [...] The Trump administration was essentially adopting Israel's interpretation of international law, Shelef said.

Donald Trump and Joe Biden on Israel and Gaza: Comparing their positions

If you think that treatment of Palestine is a deciding factor between these candidates, and that a second Trump administration would somehow be better than a Harris administration in that regard, then you are a fool.

So if we take that brainless argument off the table, then what we have is a racist vs. a non-racist, which makes the choice fairly simple.

That is why some are for supporting the third party that is anti-genocide instead of the duopoly. 

Both Trump and Harris will continue the status quo.
