You were right to be furious about Biden's complicity.
You were dumb as dirt to deny The Idiot was the greater evil by a fucking mile. On this issue, and so many others.
The motherfucker tried to remove you from this country. No shit he doesn't care about brown people elsewhere.
The situation in Palestine is going to get worse under trump, but then things were also getting worse while under Biden too. There is no winning for Palestinians because the plan is for Israel to take over the entire area. Policy over partisanship, as AIPAC puts it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlKmWa8p4UM
Muslims were a key swing vote in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin.
More importantly, the dems might have actually won if they had taken this opportunity to show that they were capable of listening to and learning from their constituents.
Trump demonstrated that he could grow and adapt from his previous term while the dems insisted on dictating terms and asserting that everything was fine without room for criticism or growth.
Improve and grow.
Listen and adapt.
Do better.
This is proven by the data. Every poll on the subject reflected the sentiment that, had Harris split from Biden on Israel-Gaza, more would vote Harris. This was known before the election. This data was ignored. People were screaming for their rights up to the last second. Many (not all) still voted Harris. And now they are getting screamed down for still having the gall to express their anger at humans being treated as animals. It feels hopeless. The white moderate liberal has no shame or empathy.
Thank you for commenting, friend.
All of the talk of civil rights being America's priority has fallen short in the face of our economic priorities and our proclivity to agitate for war.
We have designed a society where empathy is scarce. A society overworked and without the bandwidth for most to process how their actions impact people on the other side of the globe.
Sometimes you've gotta skip out on the bullshit to live life and learn for yourself. All of these increases in productivity, and yet we have less and less time to be human and stitch together our society.
If the Palestinian vote was enough to sway the election, then the amount of Jewish people who would have done the same if any presidential candidate came out in strong support of Palestine, has to be at least an order of magnitude higher.
I am not equating the two positions, I am simply talking about campaign strategy.
I don't think you understand the stranglehold that the Israel lobby has on US politics.
No one is screaming down a nose holding Harris voter. She was a shit candidate with shit policy.
But given the only two options, she would have been better for people all around the world. Including Gaza.
There'd be a chance of stopping things. But now trump is drawing up condo plans
Glad to see they're sticking to their guns. Make sure the libs understand that we'll do it again if they don't give in to the demands.
How completely unexpected to see the libs firmly deciding that this is all the fault of brown people.
