          Maybe we shouldn’t have supported Ukraine if it meant supporting genocide

            And in a mirror universe where that decision got made someone’s arguing “maybe we shouldn’t have cut funding to Israel if it meant allowing the genocide in Ukraine.”

              what gets me is would the hamas attack and thus the isreali response happen without putin. Im very suspicious that he was not pushing on making more chaos globally to get our of the cluster fuck he started.

      Thank goodness the Democrats perpetuated the genocide in Gaza so they wouldn’t lose to Trump! 🤦

        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”
