i would be VERY upset with myself right now if i had voted for kamala harris on the pretext that the biden administration was the best option to stop the genocide as well as voting to protect lgbtqia from the likes of project 2025 since the public can now see the same tired excuse of an individual dissenter blocking everything recycled again for not enacting the equal rights amendment that could defend us against project 2025 and trump succeeded in stopping the genocide in a few days were biden couldn't in a year and half.
i know that these two facts fall on deaf ears for most democrats based on my interactions with them on lemmy; so i behooves us and the democrats who didn't overlook a genocide to figure out a way to get those who considered the genocide to be "no big deal" or simply "single issue voting" to be brought back to table.
we'll continue our descent into fascism without these people and i wish i know how we could bring them back to the table when they double down like republicans and refuse to admit that these two the reasons why they voted democrat was proven false in the last week or so.
They were the best option. The ceasefire only happened because Trump sold them the West Bank for $100m

Adelson is trumps largest donor, and wants to annex the West Bank. Trump also appointed an ambassador that says the West Bank shouldn’t exist. This is all very public. They done it in the open. What reality are you living in?
Were you somehow unaware that this was always the ultimate end goal from our ruling class?
No I was aware before he got elected because it was public knowledge and dumbfounded people could deny the reality that doing anything to avoid getting him in would be better for the Palestinians. Guess it’s not just the conservatives prone to these 1D psyops.
Whether it was trump or harris, it was always going to end up this way; the only difference is that there are more Palestinians left alive w trump in the office, apparently.
Israel annexed far more of the west bank under the Biden administration. And Harris clearly promised to continue the genocide. AIPAC spent more on Harris than Trump.
The Trump administration actually broke with decades of U.S. policy by declaring that Israeli settlements in the West Bank were not inconsistent with international law, effectively endorsing Israeli claims to parts of the territory. Significantly reduced U.S. financial assistance to Palestinians, including ending funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moved its embassy there to undermine the Palestinians (Adelson spent $20m for this)
Israel annexed far more of the west bank under the Biden administration.
It's getting worse over time regardless of administration, and now they'll be cheering them on and telling them to hurry up Don Jr has hotels to build for all his deluded fans.
AIPAC spent more on Harris than Trump.
They didn't spend anything this election cycle, the spent more on the republicans last one. But it's like 1m. Vs Adelson giving trump 100M for the west bank EXPLICTLY. Jesus f how do you not realise how much worse that is.
It’s getting worse over time regardless of administration
I don't know how people aren't getting this.
Biden upheld that violation of international law.
Like I said AIPAC spent far more on dems.
Did you read it? It doesn't really say what you're claiming. They spent that money to push the dems to the right. Support pro-israel candidates over progressive ones in smaller races. Literally trying to push the dems right in case they won and they couldn't just pay trump to do their bidding.
Harris had more funding than Trump.
I mean, yeah that's not inaccurate.
See ya Genocide Joe, all hail Emperor Apocalypse.
