this is from reuters, you should check the other post, which copies reuters, but throws away the links.

And yea, Harris had a 20% chance to stop the war (I guess now we'll never know), whereas with trump you had a 99% chance that Palestine is gone from the map.

The 20% you speak of is pure cope, nothing more. The messaging was consistent and it was a huge "fuck you".

How would you know? trump won and you know what he's gonna do, did you ever consider that was a possibility? Contributing to his victory was the greatest gift to bibi for his atrocities.

Because we just had a Biden term and a year of escalation happening, with no actual steps to stop it. Only PR moves like the pier, that was only there for the IDF, not for the aid. Then we had the campaign, with messaging being "we don't care about Palestine" and nothing else.

Like, holy shit, you could just as well say "how would you know Trump is going to be bad for Palestine?" and it would be exactly as nonsensical - because we have the pattern of behavior from earlier and the campaigning. Harris embraced Biden's politics instead of distancing herself from them, it's that simple.

Right now Biden is unburdened by a presidential campaign. He could do whatever he wants, or at least try to. He is trying to send as much weapons to Ukraine as possible (which is great don't get me wrong). He is acting. Yet jack shit is done with Palestine because there is no political will to do anything.

And all of this because of people who tried to push "go vote for her anyway". As if we are in some bizzarro world where a party gets people's votes for not doing what the people want them to do.

I am pro-palestinian and say fuck it ! Let there be a full war in the middle east. USA would back up Israel whether its Harris or Trump anyway. No amount of genocide is acceptable and no amount of backing genocide is acceptable. Fuck humanity ! thank god we're fucking ourselves with climate change.
