I voted for Kamala, ya dingus. I just have enough self-reflection to note that her messaging was shit and that there was little difference between the two of them when it came to Palestine. I voted for her because of domestic policy, not foreign policy.

There are lessons to be learned here. And sticking our heads in the sand will not help us learn those lessons. And one of those lessons should absolutely be that, "vote for me. I support genocide, but my opponent supports it EVEN MORE!" is a shit campaign message. Whoever thought of that strategy should be shot.

Her message was shit. I still don't think that Israel would feel comfortable annexing the west bank like this under her presidency. The dems are cooling on Israel, especially since it was slowly leading them into a war with Iran and tensions with Saudi Arabia. So I'm not saying the dems are better on this issue for altruism. No. I think Gaza was fucked either way and the dems are complicit in genocide there. But I do think Trump will directly result in expansion and full out war into the west bank and then the whole region in a way Harris wouldn't have and they are very different in that way.
