Regardless of this action, Pelosi is bad.

That's not true.

A perfect campaign would address the issuers voters have, and not insist everything is fine and voters facing homeless or food insecurity are just "leftists insisting on purity".

Harris said she would let Israel keep doing it's thing, and just talk about it.

That's essentially "funding the genocide", no matter how you split it.

And yes, people decided to NOT choose between two pro-genocide candidates. You are, of course, free to ignore that, and act still confused about why she lost support in cities with large Arab populations.

Neither party is interested in brokering a y deal that doesn't include Israel genociding Palestinians.

Biden could have ended it by ceasing arms transfers, which he is legally required to do, since it was found the arms were to be used to aid a genocide. That's US law.

And another good option!

All of those were on the chopping block. Remember we froze discretionary spending in year 2 of Biden. He called it a win for America.

Trump did tariffs in year 1, Biden left them, and added more.

So, yes, people voted to disrupt the status quo, in which they starve. Will they still starve? Probably, but the change was a chance for it to be different, rather than a 0 chance.

People didn't want the order they are used to, aka the status quo...

People literally voted to wreck the "order they are used to"...

My gods... you're talking about a "soft landing" and "his accomplishments"...

You understand stonks going up doesn't matter if you are a week from being homeless, and an empty cupboard, right?

One being bad doesn't discount the other being bad as well.

People are hurting, economically, and a lot of those people chose the person who is NOT in office, ie they voted against the incumbent who is telling them everything is fine and to stop whining.

Which ones? Epsteins clients came from all over the world....

Where can I not consent to capitalism in the world, without having to starve and be homeless?
