Wild how in one breath you call for a complex nuanced web of cause and effect for why voting for Harris was a morally good choice despite her committing genocide, then in the next breath absolve of her of all responsibility for her defeat 😂 you are the exact reason the democratic party loses again and again and again. You are either a truly passionate neoliberal conservative who genuinely believes in the democratic party platform of western colonialism and unbounded American capitalism, or else you are so horrified by the prospect of actually doing anything to change the system that you’d actually vote for a fascist candidate if the democratic party ran with one.
How can you absolve Harris of all responsibility for her own loss when she campaigned on far right anti-immigration politics and literal genocide?? You seriously don’t believe she could’ve done anything differently to not lose the election? Youre furious some Palestinian Americans wouldn’t vote for her because she enthusiastically pledged to participate in the genocide of her people, but youre not mad at her for enthusiastically pledging to participate in genocide in the first place? Are you a zionist? I’m starting to think none of what you have to say makes any sense unless you yourself are a zionist.
If dems run a fascist next election against Trump, the trend has been “they move right we move right” since the Reagan administration, are you gonna vote for them? Will you speak up? Will you say “the blue antisemite is better than the red one”? Do you have any moral values whatsoever? Is your only moral qualm with Donald Trump that he’s crass?
Keep on punching down on those damn Palestinian Americans. You know, with an attitude like you’ve got you could probably swing that into a lucrative career at ICE. They love people who devote themselves to punching down on the marginalized.

I won’t vote or speak up because I’m not American. I’m left of center even for European standards, so quite a bit left of Bernie Sanders.
Harris should have been able to come on stage, fart and belch for 45 minutes and still win the election. Three raccoons in a trench coat should have been able to win the election. No matter what you liked or didn’t like, trump was worse on every topic than basically any other human in the US.
And still 77 million Americans decided that the criminal, pussy grabber, Netanyahu lover is the one to lead them for the next 4 years.
But hey, now there’s military parades on his birthday and military troops on the streets, and he will build a hotel and golf course once all Palestinians are thrown out of gaza!

We don’t have to talk in hypothetical. The democratic party ran on a campaign of kicking immigrants out of the country, continuation of the declining state of late stage capitalism, and state sponsored slaughter of Palestinian children overseas.
They could have not done that. Its as simple as that. Straight forward. They could have run a campaign standing up for human rights and a platform of workers rights. Thats it. Thats the problem. The problem is a far right conservative party vs a fascist party and those are the only 2 parties. Democrats lost the election. If they had campaigned differently, they wouldn’t have lost. Demand better from politicians, not for people to vote for the murder of their own families.
