[alt text: a screenshot of a tweet by @delaney_nolan, which says, "Biden/Harris saw this polling and decided to keep unconditionally arming Israel". Below the tweet is a screenshot from an article, which states: "In Pennsylvania, 34% of respondents said they would be more likely to vote for the Democratic nominee if the nominee vowed to withold weapons to Israel, compared to 7% who said they would be less likely. The rest said it would make no difference. In Arizona, 35% said they'd be more likely, while 5% would be less likely. And in Georgia, 39% said they'd be more likely, also compared to 5% who would be less likely."]

most of the people you have probably argued with online about Harris and genocide probably did in fact hold their nose and vote for Harris

Did you?

The fact that you read my entire comment and laser-focused on that one detail. If we're descending into purity tests on the Left, we will never win another election.

I absolutely did not read your entire comment. The hypocrisy just stuck out to me from a glance. I wasn't planning to continue to read.

Along with, of course, the hypocrisy of the fact that you're now applying a purity test before you will vote for a Democrat, even in hindsight, even if she has only the vaguest of connections with the holocaust in Gaza, and even if the alternative is a hundred times worse including for Gaza.

It's done. I'm not sure why I'm still talking about it. I think I just still have some nervous energy left over because of the question of what the fuck I'm going to do now.

I did, absolutely. I'm much more suspicious of the older, more Centrist people who told me they didn't think America was "ready to elect a woman". I suspect that most of them really meant they weren't ready, and sat out.
