They sure showed her. We’ll find out if they made the right choice soon enough.
No, there is no "right" choice here, if you mean something that is going to benefit Palestine and Gaza in the short term. The vast majority of those who voted against Harris knew that Trump won't be better, but they could not go along with a candidate actively involved in genocide. Plus, they wanted to let the Democrats know that they would pay a price for their treachery. As it turned out, the pro-Palestine vote against Harris had a very clear effect in Michigan and Wisconsin, but it can't be blamed for her defeat.
Maybe Democrats shouldn't have sent Bill Clinton to talk about how Hamas forced Israel to kill civilians and that's why you need to not care about Dems facilitating genocide, or maybe Richie Torres could have not spent the last weeks of the campaign feuding with Hasan Piker on Twitter over Israel as he was also in Michigan to speak to Arab and Muslim voters.
I guess we already saw if they made the right choice.
Exactly how is allowing Trump a second term better?
Understanding why the Harris campaign's strategy of moving to the right to try to court Republican voters, instead of moving to the left with popular progressive policies, was a demonstrable failure is not an endorsement of Trump.
A trump term is significantly worse. It's straight up fascism. Which is why it's so frustrating how terrible Harris' Campaign was that she depressed voter turnout by like 14 million people. And for what? Instead of galvanizing support from everyone with a progressive platform, her neoliberal platform only accomplished normalizing right-wing disinformation like on immigration.
So we agree that the choices at the polls were bad and worse for Palestinians. I’m simply saying by not choosing bad, they ended up with worse.
I completely understand feeling sick over the decision, but did they really trust the rest of the US to make the right decision for them?
