    Do you imagine this wouldn’t have happened if the election had gone the other way? Yeah they’ve gone mask off, so it’s harder now to pretend it isn’t happening, but the results for people in Gaza are pretty much the same, since this was already Israel’s plan for decades and the US government continued to supply them with the weapons to carry it out. The only real difference is the republicans language saying it out loud and making it harder to ignore.

      If we buy into the idea that the situation in Palestine would be exactly the same, that means not voting for Harris because of Palestine was choosing all of the other horrible shit Trump is doing for zero benefit to Palestine.

      Really showed them Dems!

        Sure, I didn’t make any comment about the internal situation in America, I’m not American. I do think it’s valid to have voted for the democrats for those reasons though, absolutely. But like, even now the democrats are enthusiastically cooperating with the current republican agenda and not really bothering to do anything against it, so I don’t think they care that much either way, even if they wouldn’t have advanced it as fast.

        I also think that you have to speak to people’s concerns to win elections and they clearly did not do a good job of that. Of course you can to some extent blame voters for being uninformed, but they are not the ones with a billions dollars marketing budget to communicate what they will actually do to improve things, so I don’t think you can blame them the most.
