Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America.

I didn’t like the amount of genocide we had, but I wanted less. People decided that they wouldn’t vote for the same, so we ended up with more.

And, again, the election is over. We could have had a “no genocide” candidate if Kamala Harris had chosen to do so. So ill ask again, why are you spitting at Palestinian Americans for refusing to support someone participating in the ethnic cleansing of their people, instead of the woman who refused to commit to ending American participation in the Palestinian genocide? If she had done that, those people would have voted for her.
We’re talking about hypotheticals in either case. Your rage is fixated solely on people who wouldn’t vote for her because of her support for the Palestinian genocide, instead of at her for supporting it in the first place. It doesn’t make any sense. The end outcome wouldve been those people voting for her in either hypothetical scenario, so why are you so angry at them and not her when she had just as much of a say in this situation?

I’m angry at those Palestinians voting to make the genocide worse. As I said, I would like less genocide, if that 8s not possible then the same amount. More genocide: bad.

Okay were going in circles but sure I will reiterate again, why not. Its incredible you can repeat it so many times and still not see how you’re just punching down on Palestinian Americans at this point for literally no reason but western spite towards an ethnic minority group.
The election is over. Your rage at them is based on a hypothetical alternate reality that does not and cannot exist.
An equally possible hypothetical alternate reality is one where Kamala denounced Israel for committing the Palestinian genocide and committed to ending American involvement in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
In that hypothetical reality the people who wouldn’t vote for her due to her support of genocide would have instead voted for her.
It is therefore ludicrous that your best possible solution to this situation is for the genocide to persist but for Palestinian Americans to vote for it to continue. Instead of Kamala changing her stance of enthusiastic support for genocide. Which she could’ve done at any time. And which would’ve gotten all those people to vote for her. Your rage should be directed at her placing support for Zionism over the defeat of a fascist candidate. It was more important to her that the Palestinian genocide continued than it was for Donald Trump to lose the election.

Well, Kamala didn’t. Kamala said she would continue as is. Trump said he would make it worse. And they voted for trump (or third party or stayed home).
