Where is the outrage? Where have all the "humans" gone? Israel slaughtered over 400 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.

None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp

I'm tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human

They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before

That which cannot be found I desire

آن که یافت می‌ نشود آنم آرزوست

'Vote blue no matter who' people like to say that it would have been different (with the implication that different would be better) but they very rarely say how.

The few times they do say how, it's generally the work of minutes to one documentation of Biden doing the exact same thing.

So.

How?

How would it have been different? And, because I'm emotionally drained from dealing with my cat dying, I'm going to specify that it actually has to be better, not just different.

I think Biden allowed genocide to proceed apace in Gaza. Full stop. This is just an attempt to answer your question about what would have been better under Kamala, presuming she would have been Biden 2.0:

Biden heavily pressured Netanyahu to open to border with Egypt to let aid in, even temporarily withholding military support to get him to do it. Additionally, Biden made an effort, however ineffectual, to airdrop aid and build a temporary dock to bring in aid on ships. Biden rolled over for Netanyahu, but there was at least the semblance that he was bothered by the civilian toll and attempted to lessen civilian suffering.

Cite that 'withholding military support' thingie @NewSocialWhoDis I've been watching VERY CAREFULLY and never saw one word about it.

I got the circumstances wrong, the temporary halt was because he didn't want the weapons used on civilians in Rafah.

And also it caused a Republican shit storm: https://mccormick.house.gov/media/in-the-news/daily-caller-exclusive-more-100-lawmakers-slam-biden-withholding-weapons-israel

Looks like they did threaten to withhold military aid in the fall over the flow of humanitarian aid, but that didn't happen.
