Yup. I don't understand why people are talking like Harris isn't also pro-genocide. Obviously more Americans are going to die under Trump and that's a tragedy too, but why are people pretending the election was about Palestine?

The election was never about Palestine, ultimately the Dems lost of their own volition by running rightward with Liz Cheney. Rather than going with a safe win like ending support for genocide and running on a progressive platform, or even a Leftist platform (which the DNC would never do, for the record, even if it would win), they deliberately chose to lose to the reps. Their donors would rather have Trump than progressive Dems win.

More Americans would die under Harris as well. The US Empire is crumbling, even if Harris won that wouldn't stop that process, what's necessary is for the working class to get organized.

Meanwhile, Palestine burns and the Dems got away with it.

Irrelevant

Trump ran on “the Dems aren’t doing enough for Israel” and won the Arabic vote

Trump didn't win the Arab-American vote, Harris lost it. Arab-Americans pivoted towards the Green Party and PSL.

It’s the same thing

How many elections has the messaging been “a vote for Stein is a vote for Republicans”

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 hour ago

It is not the same thing, lol. If Arab-Americans wanted Trump to win, they would have voted for Trump.
