Interesting title, now if only we could read the article. None of the usual paywall bypassers seem to be working on it

A lot of us set aside our outrage to support the Dems and try to stop Trump, including me (check post history). Now I’m going back to saying that the brakes were never there. Maybe Trump pushes the gas down, but stop acting like Biden didn’t give billions in aid and diplomatic immunity to Israel. Stop overlooking that he proclaimed himself an unyielding Zionist promising “ironclad support” to Israel. Israel has been doing whatever it wants for the last year, and the US “lesser evil” has turned out to be really evil when it comes to Palestinians.

Downvote all you want in spite of those provable facts if you don’t like it - I’ll take ethics and proof over approval any day. Tell me about how it’s going to be worse as if that somehow justifies the last year of war crimes and ignoring Leahy laws. Tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians have been murdered, many times that injured, and millions have been displaced and starved. One of the worst of many atrocities is that more Gazan children were slaughtered in 4 months than died in all armed conflicts worldwide in the previous 4 years. All with Biden’s “ironclad support” of ethnic cleansing and in spite of his useless “concerns” and letters/warnings.

‘It went from bad to worse’ doesn’t mean things were good.

You know that Biden wasn’t on the ballot yesterday, right?

Kamala, who told Palestinian protesters to be quiet before they were removed from a rally, who has stood with Biden and refused to meaningfully promise a break from him on Gaza, was not believably different. Biden also told protesters he understood their passion, but never did anything. Read this article with specific examples of how Kamala never went beyond the same words Biden has been using all year. I will not be gaslit into thinking Kamala indicated a stop to US support.

Then why did you fill your comment with everything about Biden?

It seems weird, if your goal was to evaluate Kamala Harris. It seems perfectly on-message if your goal was to criticize the Democrats using whatever came to hand.

The election’s over, so I don’t see the purpose in getting in a long argument with you about it. But criticizing Kamala Harris because she didn’t stop Netanyahu is about as stupid as criticizing Biden because he didn’t stop Trump from causing inflation that hit us in 2021 and 2022. And, I suspect, the reasons behind it are the same.

Hope non-voters are happy with themselves.

I’d say the folks who confused me the most aren’t the ones who sat out.

It’s the ones who explicitly voted orange voldemort back in because they were unhappy with Dems on Gaza.

At least someone voting for Stein (who explicitly wanted Harris to lose) could point to her pro-Gaza policies as justification. But, the GOP candidate?
