Every shitty Democrat empowers the next Republican administration to be even worse. Yeah, Kamala would have bought us another four years of breathing room. Then we'd probably have Stephen Miller or Peter Thiel for president in 2028 and a Republican supermajority in two chambers.

This has nothing to do with Israel, why even bring that up? Actual people in some of the most impoverished nations in the world are going to die because of this:

The U.S., once the top donor to global health and development causes, could cause as many as 14 million in excess deaths by 2040 through ending its aid efforts, a Lancet study found last month.

is right there in the article.

it was a not-so-subtle nod to Americans that refused to vote or voted for Trump because Harris would have made the genocide worse.

in doing so, they not only allowed the genocide to be worse than if Harris was in charge, but they have also allowed multiple layers of support and government to be dismantled, like USAID.
