    Again, the only two choices were: donvict or Kamala. That’s it. Nothing else. Best option was to vote Democratic all down the ticket then do everything possible to lean on Democrats to stop supporting Israel.

    Keeping your civil rights without opposing genocide was a losing proposition

    Exactly WHO was proposing that?

      No. You could’ve leaned on the Democrats to stop supporting Israel before voting, while they still needed you. Leaning on them after the election would’ve had absolutely no effect and you know it. Relinquishing your right to act during the only time where you have a chance of success is indistinguishable from inaction, hence Americans chose not to oppose genocide.

          Yes, two choices: to resist, or to not resist. You could’ve admittedly defeat after actually doing something, but with how things actually went down? I’m perfectly willing to say that Trump is America’s just desserts.

          Keep gloating that we had no anti-genocide candidate.

          Both candidates represented you perfectly.

            I’m not sure how anything I’ve said about the situation constitutes “gloating”. And no, I don’t support genocide.

            How is letting donvict into office helping?

              How is equating opposition to genocide with “letting donvict into office” helping anything? All you’re doing is downplaying genocide support, while as always blaming people who don’t support genocide for harris’ loss.
