Focusing on the materially changes a Harris or Trump administration would have on Palestinians is a great point.

I don't know what material difference Harris would make, and vibes alone aren't a good way make those kinds of decisions.

Yep. People often get lost in the idea that because the GOP is so bad, the DNC must be better, but in certain topics comparing side-by-side there is little, if any, material difference, and the support for Israel is one instance that has bipartisan support (among congress).

I do believe a Trump presidency would be worse for Muslims in America and I think that's a valuable metric to consider, but, fuck, even if I think Harris is the pragmatic choice, I couldn't wholly condem someone for being less than enthusiastic about voting for someone who will continue the genocide of their friends and family .

That's the thing, if Muslim Americans are evaluating that it is more important to move away from genocide than coalesce with the DNC and perpetuate it, the onus is on the DNC for not representing their normal base in swing-states.
