    But I was told a thousand times that Trump would be better for Gaza than Kamala, could those have been superficial lies? /s

      Obviously not, which is why it’s completely insane that the Democratic Party refused to represent the majority of their constituents who wanted a permanent ceasefire and weapons embargo for an entire 15 months.

      Instead opting to arrest thousands of student protestors, gift Israel billions of tax payer dollars for genocide, deny any voice or representation of the victims of the genocide, all in opposition to public sentiment and domestic/international law. One of the major reasons, along with immigration and the economy, that tanked the Democratic Party’s campaign.

      They threw the election and lost to an unpopular fascist. If they were trying to win they would have been offering popular concessions to earn as many votes as possible.

        Then where have you been. It’s likely the biggest reason she lost. A whole bunch of people decided not to vote because they blamed Biden for Gaza. When told that Trump would be worse the response was always that it can’t get any worse. I submit that US occupation of Gaza is worse…

          That is completely different than saying Trump is better.

          People tried holding Kamala accountable because Trump would never listen. Hence putting pressure on Kamala was the only option they had when both candidates didn’t care. Blame her for taking billions in Zionist bribes if you want to be angry at someone.

          And I submit the genocide of Palestinians is the same, the land doesn’t fucking matter if the people are dead which was the outcome in either situation. Who cares if it’s Trump or Netanyahu moving into it? It’s US weapons and money that cleared it.
