    If Harris had won it would have changed absolutely nothing regarding the genocide. She might have continued the Biden regime’s lies about working for a ceasefire while actually supplying and cheering on the genocide but that’s about it.

    I’m also cynical enough about the average American’s feelings towards foreign brown people to think that her genocidal Zionism is not what lost her the election. I think her insistence that everything was going fine domestically and her refusal to offer voters any kind of hope for some kind of material relief.

    Trump, despite being an idiot and a fascist, actually recognised the existence of real material issues people face. His ideas of how to address those issues are horrible and wrong but at least he was not insulting people by trying to gaslight them into thinking everything was fine.

      I think both are true.

      I think even if she didn’t change her domestic policies she would’ve stood a solid chance if she said Biden was doing genocide and she would stop it. The genocide was the top ranked reason for people who didn’t vote who would have voted Democrat.

      But I also think she could’ve continued the genocide and won if she had addressed the domestic concerns. I probably would’ve voted for her if the offer was “Genocide continues but we legalized weed and forgave student loans and if you vote for me I’ll give you Medicare for All and 30 million units of public housing.”

      But she offered neither. “You get to continue seeing dead children on your phone every day and no your rent will not go down, be grateful little piggy” was the offer. Which unsurprisingly wasn’t a popular message.

      It’s the same as when Obama was elected.

      If harris was president they’d just say stfu about Palestine, you’re making us look bad.

      When a republican is president dems at least acknowledge that war crimes are bad which is unfortunately the most you can hope for out of them.
